Big Bellied Buxom Bradshaw

Had the pleasure of getting some lovely pictures done today by a friend. I really appreciate the candid feel of the photos. Sometimes those posey-posed things look totally fake to me- and when I look back at myself I like to see who I was, not who I was trying to be.

So here I am, stretchmarks and all. I think these are quite lovely. These are the preliminary favorites, there may be more good ones, but since these were just taken TODAY it is a pretty damned fast turn-around.

I think these are just lovely. I could not be more pleased.

In other news, we are approaching the delivery date and I am partially nervous, partially excited, and partially ready to kill my husband. He is doing his best to help me, but he has got a splitting headache (he has had it for a week) and my tolerance level for anything but what *I* want to happen WHEN I want it to happen is very low.

Perhaps very pregnant mothers should be separated from their loved ones in the last days of pregnancy. And they should be given unlimited funds, a home cleaning and organizational expert, and a massage therapist. OH and a personal chef. Yes. That would make things all better.

I think I hear Mina getting into her "art box" She figured out how to open it herself. I must go save my walls from marker slashes.

You have a much prettier belly than I did, even the second time around. I'm so jealous.

And I love you ideas about what a very pregnant woman NEEDS. That would make the lumbering elephant phase of pregnancy so much more enjoyable. ;)

I agree with your prescription for the end of pregnancy.
I can't imagine what life is like for women who don't have as fantastic and loving husbands.
Good luck, sweet Mama!
