TBT- you; before during (and after) pregnancy

yogahh · May 2016

Thought this could be fun for a TBT picture day! Post last pic of you before finding out you were pregnant, vs your favorite pregnancy pic. And if you've had your baby and wanna post an after pic, go for it!

This was us on a hike, probably the weekend that I got KU. What's funny is when I posted this to fb back in August I added a disclaimer that I wasn't pregnant as it wasn't the most flattering pic of me and I gained a lil weight. Funny to know now... I most likely was!!

And my favorite pregnancy pic was from NYE. Not only did I have a great hair day but we also did our gender revel that night.

Cant wait until next week at this time (literally!!) to meet this babe!

I like this.

On the left is DH and I at a 1920's themed party. I miss partying with this guy. Cannot wait to have a date night with no baby and no bump. The right is just the last picture I've taken. It's about a week old but this picture probably shows off my bump the most.

Hopefully this isn't TMI but this picture is extra special to me because I know it's the night we conceived. It's also the last time I got WASTED and will probably be the last time for a long while.

bkjade · May 2016

Because getting married (I can't believe this was only a year ago!) was one of my favorite days ever!

And this one from earlier in the week with DH

❤️❤️❤️

finnybooboo · May 2016

Fun!!

This pic was from August when I had no idea I was preggo

My daughters first O's game!

My fave pic is one taken just this past weekend. Last pregnancy I couldn't stand the way I looked and never would have taken this pic and posted on FB at 38 weeks.

tripledaggerWed95976 · May 2016

Great idea!!!
so the bump keeps scrambling the picture order...
pic #2 is of hubby and I at a U2 concert on July 29th, which was 2 weeks before we did our IVF

pic#1 was when I first started showing, I think I was maybe 18 or 20 weeks. I was so excited

and lastly is my sweet little guy today ❤️❤️

tripledaggerWed95976 · May 2016

@bkjade I love your wedding pic! It looks straight out of a magazine, absolutely gorgeous!

bkjade · May 2016

Thanks @tripledaggerWed95976!

missnc77 · May 2016

I lost all my iPhone photos when my iPhone crashed, so this is all I have from August thanks to posting to FB. My husband got a limo for my birthday, stocked it with my favorite sparkling rose, and we went to the strip for dinner and a show.

The picture we took when we found out we were having a boy (until we went to the anatomy scan two weeks later and were told whoops - it's a girl!)

And one of the few bump pictures I've taken this pregnancy.

Kennedy0830 · May 2016

DH and I when we got some portraits done and started our convos about having kids (and when my hair was so long and I actually fixed it once

). We had to include our fur babies too (one is no longer with us, but he's still my soulmate!). And then of me at my first baby shower and feeling pretty!

MrsKubley · May 2016

This is so fun and you ladies are incredibly gorgeous!!

Me and my son on Labor Day Weekend (when the twins were conceived). I'm a photographer so 90% of pictures of me end up being selfies and not full length.

Then our soon to be not so little family last weekend (36 weeks)

Easter weekend @ 33 weeks!

Hopefully we'll have our new baby girl here next week

I wouldn't have minded sharing my birthday today with her, but seems like she's cozy in there!

JennyS86 · May 2016

You ladies are gorgeous!
First pic was late Sept - already pregnant but who knew?
Second pic was at the park last Saturday (in my weekly bump shirt at 36weeks)

1mae2016 · May 2016

the top picture is obviously the pre-pregnancy picture. As much as I love my LO already, it is hard to see the very obvious changes pregnancy has taken on my body.
ETA: preggers brain and I can't spell

swflJD · May 2016

This is a fun thread, @yogahh Here are mine:

#1 is my favorite pic from our wedding. We'll be celebrating our 9th anniversary in about a month!

#2 is a pic of DH and me from a regatta we raced in on Labor Day weekend. We found out the next week we were expecting. Guess all the alcohol that weekend wasn't a good idea! Oops!

#3 is our FB announcement photo taken on the bow of our boat.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/u7/xn1sxiyu1blf.jpg

And #4 is my first HDBD pic, when I first started showing.

Would it be creepy if I tell you how pretty you are?

eaorear · May 2016

1. This was the closest I could find to right before I was pregnant. I did know that I was pregnant, but nobody else did.
2. Christmas - the day we announced that we were having a girl.
3. The day we left the hospital. Not the greatest picture, but it's what I've got!

Spylon · May 2016

Cute Idea! Everyone looks wonderful

The first pic is from our honeymoon, hiking in Killarney Provincial Park. The second one was my officially half-way through the pregnancy bump pic.

@finnybooboo Fellow Orioles fan here!!

I didn't realize there were other mommies to be from MD on this board. Though I guess we don't really tell people where we are from. lol

TXmamatobe · May 2016

I love everyone's pictures!!

Here is one from family photos last summer right before we started trying for number two...

Here is is from from last November, so in early pregnancy still...

And then my favorite pregnancy picture when I was just starting to show

I have to laugh at how often I change my hair color. Once I get it one way, I am always tempted to do something else. Redken protein treatments to the rescue.

Someone had to do it. That second picture is GOREGOUS!

AdorkablePixie · May 2016

@bkjade I love that picture. DH and I have a similar one of us dancing into our reception. Now I want to find it and post it.

This was when we went to a wedding in August.

I couldn't believe how much my bump grew in one week!

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/3r/d2cmtxb1xkid.jpeg

For fun.. An awkward photo taken at a surprise shower our friends had for us this past week. They got DH prepared to change diapers

Jparke2 · May 2016

Everyone is so beautiful!!!

1st picture is the day before I found out I was pregnant. We were away with friends celebrating my birthday

2nd picture is us at the baby shower. I felt huge but my husband looked super cute and I liked that he took it upon himself to make us matching.

Also a big O's fan! This baby has more Orioles gear than I do, its insane. My husband said the other day "Hey, if we go to the game for Mother's Day, they are letting moms go on the field!" I had to remind him that I will most likely still be in the hospital that day haha

AdorkablePixie · May 2016

Good idea. @yogahh!

My pictures are out of order and I don't think I can fix it.

1. My wedding day. We celebrate 5 years next month.

2. The first time I actually got a little bit of a bump. It didn't really "pop" until the night before Christmas!

3. Me at the gym, summer of 2015.

4. On of the shots from my maternity session. I LOVE this picture.

Yeah that's what I thought. Looks like you guys had a blast that day!

NinnyJean · May 2016

Hiking trip we took in August to celebrate our anniversary and was right before we got pregnant

Our announcement at around thirteen weeks

Then most recent bump picture this week!

jhjelmberg · May 2016

#1 sailing on Lake Erie one month before baby time

#2 Christmas photo with my sweet boys

#3 my friends baby shower in February

swflJD · May 2016

@jhjelmberg I'm a sailor, too. I live in FL now, but I started sailing years ago on Lake Erie in the Cleveland area.

nasalot188 · May 2016

What a great idea! This is a picture from our Wedding Day last May 23rd. We keep joking that this baby could be an Anniversary gift (due May 25th)!

And here is a sneak peek at our maternity session last Sunday. I can't wait to see the photos!!

Kennedy0830 · May 2016

@yogahh any other non-pregnant/over-the-internet time I'd say yes, but not today!!!

you've made my day - thank you!

Bellodomani · May 2016

@yogahh What a good idea! Everyone looks so pretty

Also, this exercise has showed me that I am literally never in pictures. I just don't take pictures of myself, and despite my best friend being an amazing and talented photographer, I rarely let her take pictures of me either. So I'll do my best.

#1 is me at Disneyworld with my best friend this summer. We had just finished running our first marathon ever and so I was in awesome shape (before it all came crashing down with hyperemesis in the 1st tri). Also, I'm pointing to Jimmy Carter because he's my dad's favorite president

I threw this one in even though you can't see my bump at all because it truly is my favorite pic of me during this pregnancy. It wasn't even posed, my husband (who does not have a good eye for pics at all usually!) just happened to take it with his phone when we were at the coast.

Last one is a shot from the maternity session I did with my bestie. I have had two really horrible pregnancies, I hate the whole experience of being pregnant, and to be totally honest it is hard to watch my body change each time. But I'm so incredibly thankful she talked me into taking some pictures because I feel genuinely beautiful in them and it helped me contextualize all the changes to my body as something to be valued.

Merciel · May 2016

Before:

During (one of many glamorous work bathroom selfies from the weekly HDBD threads, because I have no pro pictures of me being pregnant; I still don't love looking this way. This is around 26 weeks):

Dasha420 · May 2016

So believe it or not- it's the same dress! It's still unbelievable to me. After looking back and seeing what I used to look like- I kind of miss it but also seeing what and who I've become is amazing. Great idea for a thread! Last picture is the baby shower dress.

clbness · May 2016

Fun thread...such lovely gals!

@nasalot188 We have the same wedding day (happy almost anniversary to you)!

Wedding pic...just hanging out, chatting in a camel pen.

Honeymoon (4 months after wedding) in Cabo getting ready to parasail. I was actually a couple weeks pregnant, but we found out after we got home!

And at 30 weeks heading to a friends baby shower...my hair was being nice that day.

kitandcat · May 2016

Love this board!! You are all adorable!! :-) :-) :-)

Here is MH and I about a month before I was pregnant... another pic when I was 8 weeks and felt miserable but no one knew I was pregnant (I was a bridesmaid that day and MH had to drink all my drinks!!), and lastly my most recent bump update on FB @ 36 weeks! (I'll be 38 weeks on Saturday!)

mello13 · May 2016

The first picture is DS's birthday in August. Already pregnant, but didn't know it yet! The second is Easter Sunday, the last pic that really showcases the bump. And the last is our newest love
