Belly Pics

So, initially, I had extreme camera shyness for my bare belly. The ugly truth is... the inventory under my shirt is more than just a growing baby! I have a half moon tattoo that I got years ago! I still love it, but it's just another reminder of a decision I made YEARS AGO... when I was a size 4... with no intentions of getting PG any time soon! :P The moon has grown since we got married = gained lots of weight. And let's just say it's grown some more during this pregnancy!!

Next, I used to have my belly button pierced and on a whim I took out my ring a couple of years ago and never put it back in. You can still see the wonderful former home of my belly ring!

Thanks to 100% pure lanolin, I can say that I haven't received any stretch marks ...yet. So after thinking about the bare belly pictures and the fact that I didn't get any taken at my first maternity session, I started to regret that decision. I just knew I'd regret not having any pretty pictures of the belly for my first pregnancy!

Sooo.... this past weekend I lent the belly to Amanda with Unique Images by Amanda Brotherton. She's growing her photography business and she took a few shots of the belly. This was my favorite! Love it! So glad I decided to do this!

I haven't seen any of the pictures from our first maternity session. As soon as I do, I'll share!!
