The Journey in Photographs

My prior posts have been from my office computer, so I didn't have access to my photo library. Since I am now home with our sweet baby, I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from the start of my pregnancy to the baby's birth.

Side Note: I have chosen not to include our son's name on this blog, as it is public, so please refrain from using his name in comments as well. I will create a nickname that I'll use on here once I come up with it!

Baby Boy!

Our baby boy was born December 6, 2011 at 4:17pm. He was 8lbs. 2oz. and 20 inches long.

First...

I have had my first pregnancy comment from a stranger. I am getting used to people staring at my belly. Maybe they are thinking, "oh, she is pregnant," but have guessed wrong before so just stare. Last night, I was walking down the stairs at the gym heading to the locker room to change and a woman was walking up. As she was eye level with my belly, she says "Is there a baby in there?" and smiled. It was a good feeling to know that yes, it is obvious to complete strangers that this bump is for a baby and not from too many cheeseburgers!
