I took a baby belly picture.....

On Sunday I made Josh take a baby belly picture. And as far as I can tell, the rule is that you find the cutest shower curtain in your house stand in front of it, hold the belly, smile and snap the photo.

Apparently there's a lot more to this than I thought because.....ew.



You should know that in any situation I possibly can, I'll blame my gross-looking-ness on the photo and not on my own gross-looking self. So, next week we'll be trying a different room (who takes pictures in their bathroom anyway? That's weird.) with better lighting, a better face, and hopefully a better hair day.

In the meantime, I'm sorry for those of you who have to look at me in real life because I know the lighting isn't always great, and maybe you're looking at me from a harsh angle, or maybe your secret-super-power is that you have a built in flash, which is particularly unforgiving (and kindof a sucky super-power. I'd talk to someone about that if I were you).

Bottom line, on Sunday I looked like this. And the (floating) belly was this big. And I don't know how to use photoshop to make myself look like Jennifer Anniston even if it's not pretty, I'm all about capturing reality. (pffftttt!)

  2. Amy, you're hilarious. That built-in flash thing would be a pretty horrible super-power, indeed...although I suppose it would temporarily blind your foe...?

    I think you look cute, too!

  4. I love taking pictures in my bathroom, as long as the toilet bowl is closed :) You look adorable. Just embrace the fact that you will swell to three times your normal size by the end. Just check out one of my pictures, and you will have your proof.

  5. I think you look wonderful, but I remember the feeling of looking bloated and yukky all the time. It's just cuz changes are happening so fast.

    Embrace your beauty! This is a wonderful season (and miracle!).

  7. Shower curtain... I didn't know that's where you were supposed to do it! I tried a variety of spots. My favorite was in front of the closet doors... No face included :) Yours turned out quite well I think.

  9. It's okay. I hated taking "belly pictures" too. But, you do look good. Well, my lovely Jordyn just told me that she is poopy, so this is a short comment! Hope you're doing great!

So even if you think you look terrible, at least your blog looks great :) haha LOVE YA! p.s. I am proud that your hair is done.
