  Alright, I am hesitant to post these b/c they are not super flattering and show just how much weight I have have gained in the last couple of months, but whatever... I said I would post them, so I will keep my word...

  As I mentioned before, we went to our close friend's wedding last weekend. These pics were taken at the end of the night (didn't really have time before that), so I was exhausted and not feeling all fresh and picture-ready... but alas, here is my black polka dot dress (you can slightly see my "blump" - bloat bump HAHA), and then another pic in my new maternity winter coat (which is too big but sooooo comfy that I just don't care). These are the first belly shots we have taken since the week we found out I was pregnant, so even though I don't love the pictures, I will keep them.

  I am not sure when we will start doing weekly shots... suggestions?

  Adorable!! We haven't started full body shots of me yet but I told DW we need to start this week or i think I'll regret it later on as I am 17 weeks already.
  
  We just finished having beautiful book shelves built in our study.. Just need to have DW stain them now,which involved me going out for the day to avoid fumes. I adore the shelves!!!
  
  And I had to add a bump photo...my and my little love at the drs waiting for a check up lol. I feel like in have such a large baby bump already. My dr had said baby was measuring a week larger and my uterus seems large.I plan to as ask my midwife about that today..plus I'm only 5' w a small torso, baby has no choice but to go out haha.

  Just the little buddy. I love him so much.  He has been coming into bed in the mornings, mostly because it is freezing right now and I fear his big old bald head is a terrible heat-loss.  I love how he gets under the covers and just conks out.

  Not sure if I posted this one before...  (sorry pregnancy brain has gotten the best of me!!)
  
  
  
  
  
  Also where I'm going this weekend - though I'll mostly be cleaning and packing rather than sitting on the beach.  Going to miss my little guy.  I told EV that "at least I get to take one of our kids with me" ;-)

  I haven't taken many pictures lately, but this is a pie I recently made for our local soccer team's playoff match. We went to a watch party with some friends. My grandma just gave me and my wife an awesome new pie pan and this clever crust cover for our birthdays. No more tearing off and arranging little pieces of foil

  I have been making personalized cards for a while... But this is my favorite. It was for a friend who had just had their third son. Each pea was designed to look like one of the members of their family. I love making cards! I even handmade all of our wedding invites (with loads of glue stick assistance from A)!
  
  PS.. The glue wasn't dry yet in this photo... So disregard that white goo!

  Lovely view! It's true, @ball.and.chain never does PIP. But I'll have you all know that she is absolutely adorable! Hopefully we will get some baby bump pics when the time comes :-)

  Ha ha...in case you were all wondering if I was avoiding PIPing myself because I'm a troll...I'm glad @herbabymama set you straight!
  ;;)
  Yeah, it's definitely a privacy issue...but I may indulge you with headless bump shots if I get far enough to get a bump.
