Picture Day

Kalimera!!

So, my homework from the other day was to figure out how to put pictures on my blog. My plan is to post the baby belly pics but I don't have many of since I was traumatized after I posted my 4 month bump pictures on facebook and everyone viciously attacked me about my size. Seriously, who does that?! One person actually said "I'm so glad my baby was early so I never had to get this big".....that person has now been deleted and blocked from facebook, and in the event should I ever see her walking down the street toward me I will throw whatever I have in my hands in her face! Right in her face!!

Ok calm down...deep breath in *in with peace*...and out *out with thoughts of violent attacks involving Starbucks lattes as weapons*...ok I think we're good. Back to figuring out this picture thing. 

This should be so easy. There's a little link on the toolbar that says "insert image" so lets see what that does.....

Nope. Didn't work. I guess that would have been too easy.

Maybe I have to plug my camera into the computer....

That didn't work either. Ummmm, now what? 

Call Kevin? It's 1:39am in Nanaimo. Should I call him anyway?? I'm his pregnant big sister, he can't get mad at me. Actually he'll get revenge instead which is even worse. Hmmmm. Maybe I should eat something? Eating solves everything...


                
Success! 
     Two pancakes, a scrambled egg and about a half a ton of watermelon later and victory is mine!

So this is back at 3 months. I can't even believe my belly was ever that small. Actually looking back at this I don't think I was really showing yet but I was so excited to grow a belly that I probably took bloating or a big dinner as the first sign of baby bump.

I'm looking a little pale too...this is the tail end of the 1 1/2 months of horrendous morning sickness. I'm so glad that's over!


                                                       
  1 month later I turned into this!!

This is at 4 months. No denying it, that's one heck of a bump! Unfortunately after this point I didn't take anymore pictures until today because I had to work through the body image issues like I was saying before. But thankfully that's ok now (SFU Psychology, holla!) Too bad I didn't major in photography though, I know this is making a couple of my more talented photographer friends cringe (Liz, Johanna...I may need a crash course)

 And this is today! 

26 weeks and 
4 days 














We're nearing the end of the 2nd trimester, getting ready for the 3rd and final trimester in less than 2 weeks. How crazy is that?! It seemed like time slowed down when I hit the 20th week but now that I'm writing that I'm almost on the last trimester I can't believe it. May's almost over, and August I plan on doing nothing but waiting for her arrival, so that means I have June and July to set up her room and start getting everything ready. And as the professional procrastinator that I am, I haven't started yet. It may be a busy couple of months. Oh well, it should be fun!

That being said, today I'm going to continue procrastinating...I'm off to the beach!

Adia!

  3. You are a beeaaauuutttiifuull pregnant woman (you are also beautiful when you are not, but you are staying gorgeous as you become more and more pregnant!). That a-hole on Facebook was likely jealous that she didn't get to grow an amazing baby bump like you are!
    Looking forward to following your blog. I miss you!

  4. Awwwww you look fantastic! And fuck those people and their stupid size comments. They're just jealous that you look so awesome, big belly and all! And think about it, a hundred years ago you would have been the one they all wanted to be! Healthy, happy baby in there!

    I should get a calling card and actually call you. Am also wondering if you'd fare better using the video on Google+. I can walk you through it all if need be, :)

  5. Thanks Liz!

    Google+ sounds interesting, maybe we should try it. I got my old computer back today too so I'm wondering if all the feedback I was getting using Skype might be fixed now...shall we try??
