Belly Picture March 19, 2008

Posted by Emily in : Pregnancy, Saba , 3comments

Several of you have asked me to post a belly picture. I haven’t had many photos taken of me or my lovely belly lately. I don’t know, maybe because I don’t look like Angelina Jolie when I’m pregnant. Here’s the deal, I am VERY PREGNANT. Yes, I am huge. This fact has been confirmed to me by several locals and onlookers that have the INSANE desire to comment to me about my belly. AS IF I DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW I WAS PREGNANT. You know what, it is crazy, but when you have a little bun in your oven, it grows and people think you are obese and really, you just have a condition called PREGNANCY. I am currently 23 weeks, and if you do the math, this baby is more than half way baked. I find out the sex of this kid next weekend. David and I (and Hannah of course) are flying to Sint Maarten to have an Ultrasound. I am DYING to know whether I need to stock up on pink or blue items. I’m just that kind of person. Now, I must comment on this picture because some of you may not recognize me as a disheveled-stranded-on-a deserted-island-housewife:

First, my hair is always this messy. I wish I could say I was just having a bad hair day and the wind got the best of me, but that would be lying. And honestly, I’m just trying to keep it real.

Second, I never wear makeup. Because applying it cuts into my precious lounge around time, and really, I don’t have that time to spare.

Third, this is what a 23 week pregnancy belly looks like on me. I was a little smaller with Hannah, but not much. This kid has room to practice acrobatics. Trust me, I think a trapeze is in there for this little one’s exercise enjoyment.

Fourth, this is the 99th pair of sunglasses I have owned in the last 28 months. Thankfully, there are two stores that sell sunglasses. I picked up this pair for $8. I hope they last for another month, or week even.  

Fifth, this shirt has two little stains on it.  You can’t see it in the photo, but let’s be honest, how often do you wear shirts with stains on them?  On a regular basis?  IN PUBLIC?  Yeah, that’s my point.  WHAT HAS SABA DONE TO ME? So there you have it. A belly shot of me, channeling the local Saban style in one outfit. Nice. I know.
