Rockin' the Bump

Well, that is what Shell calls it. I will refer to it as "Sara Further Humiliates Herself on a Public Forum"  and no, I am NOT pregnant! That ship has SAILED!

Here, pregnant with Asher, I was about 3 months. I should have stopped taking pictures here. (yes, I often go through a "dark hair" phase in the winter. Until I realize the dark hair makes the dark circles under my eyes worse, and the fact I am too lazy to bother with concealer becomes way too apparent, so I go back to blonde, in an effort to minimize dark circles and not have to apply concealer.)

 I can hardly look at these photos. 33 weeks pregnant. In Washington D.C and NYC. END OF JUNE. 90's, humid, hot, sticky, chaffing. To add insult to the fact no one would walk next to me because of the odd...gait...I had due to the chaffing MY BUTT STICKS OUT AS FAR AS MY BELLY! 
Side note: I went to the doctor when I arrived home. He measured me, looked at me with concern and asked if the baby had been active, how I was feeling and such. When I asked why, he told me I was measuring 3-4 weeks behind. I told him that was about right, considering the baby was pushing out my BEHIND instead of my front. He didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or run. 

Asher looked at this and says, "Wow mom, you were much more fatter here. Good thing I came out and you got to straighten out."

These were taken a week before I had Ash at Day Out with Thomas.


 

...And here I am 2 days before delivery. Dad took us out on the boat where I was hoping to hit some waves and get the show on the road. Didn't work...I had to be induced with both boys, as my body does apparently does not know how to go into labor, and they were worried they were getting too big.

 So, I may not have been graceful, I had something staining the front of my shirt more often than not which may/may not continue to be a problem for me but I had two awesome baby boys! 

This summer, as I whine about my chaffing thighs, I will think back and remember...they are only chaffing in one small spot, whereas they could be chaffing from thigh to knee.
