So... umm... are you other gals not planning on doing belly pics? I hope you do! I looooove watching other momma's "grow" during pregnancy~ :) I'm gonna be posting another this week~ Hope to see you all soon! ;)

[loveyou]

You know what? we should take all the photos posted and sticky this thread. I think it's fun to go back and look at everyones bellies.

Cute idea Es....a 'running tab' of pg c'mom bellies teehee I like it! Then we can see differences/similarities over multiple pregnancies as many are now sharing their 2nd (or more) pg here.

so how do we go about doing that? I mean can we somehow go back through all of the posts and find all the belly pic posts and then somehow transfer it into a single post?

My Third Pregnancy. Elliana Faith. Due November 23 2009

cool, Esther! how did you do that picture formatting?

I *love* your pictures, Esther! You are so stunning and carry pregnancy in such a beautiful way~ I love how you set up your photos, what program did you use?

I used Picasa. I just did a collage. I'm waiting for everyone else to post thier baby bellies! Can we get a mod to sticky this?

cool! you are a mod, can't you do it? :-)

cool! you are a mod, can't you do it? :-)

I'm only a mod for certain forums :)

My dh pointed out that I need to start taking pictures of my bump so maybe by weeks end?! I'll try my best to post. :mrgreen:

I took some of Rachel today, I need to upload still :mrgreen: I'll share by tomorrow!
Esther, yours are so BEAUTIFUL!!

Wy's pregnancy so far~ I'll update as I go along, I guess~

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a188/mrsfozz/Wypgcollage.jpg

Oh Jen! You carry so well! I think I get bigger than you, when you carried your twins! I love seeing your last photo of the feet. that is too cute! I was thinking of taking a pic of my belly in the tub filled with bubbles. :mrgreen:

That would be cute Esther, the bubbles and belly! :)

And you have to remember that I'm 5'9... so I'm a giant compared to you~ :) I've got a lot of space for baby; big, wide, deep hips~ :)

This thread is wanting me to get pregnant again!! I LOVE it and miss it!

You ladies are so beautiful with your baby bellies! Keep 'em coming! :D

Here is my progression with my Josiah's pregnancy *second pregnancy*

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/abbysmom219/2ndpregnancy.jpg

O' my goodness...I didn't get that big WOW!!! How beautiful!
Esther, with my 1st 3 babies I was the size of you in the 1st pic then the last 3weeks got to the size of you in the 4th!
So cool thanks for sharing the photos Jen & Esther [claploud]

Wow, your belly looked MUCH bigger with your son than it does this pregnancy! Amazing! I can't believe how amazing you look when pregnant, gal~ Well, and when NOT, for that matter! :D

yeah, I always get pretty big. I agree Jen, that i'm a bit smaller this time around. I got big all over with Josiah, this time it is definately more in my stomach. But I have a whole month left and I already feel SO HeaVY. I'm really praying that Ellie isn't too big...

Yeah, I hope for your comfort sake that Ellie isn't too big~ You're sooooo close now, I can't believe it, Esther! I'm so excited and waiting to hear the good news that you're heading to the hospital (in another week maybe?) and have your precious Ellie in arms! :)

Yeah, I hope for your comfort sake that Ellie isn't too big~ You're sooooo close now, I can't believe it, Esther! I'm so excited and waiting to hear the good news that you're heading to the hospital (in another week maybe?) and have your precious Ellie in arms! :)

Thanks Jen~ I think being pregnant this time around has been a bundle of mixed emotions. I am so thankful for my little girl and I can't wait to be holding her too. As long as she doesn't get to ten I think I'll be okay LOL

I may try to take a picture in the next few days....I've got first tri "inflation" going on. Had it with Callum too. Puffed up basically right away, but then when second tri hit, I kind of deflated somewhat. lol So either that is what is going on this time too, or I'm going to be HUGE by next spring. :D

I'm loving all the collages....I'll have to see if I can put something together for my pregnancy with Callum. (That's the only one I have 'progression' pics of.)

Kim-

I just saw this! Congratulations!

Thanks, Beth! Here is my 9 week pic. :D
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/aklfa/IMG_3308.jpg

aw, Kim! So cuuuuuute!!!!

Aww so sweet Kim.
Esther!! Oh my goodness! I didn't remember your belly sticking THAT far out there with Josiah. Those last couple shots are amazing. :)
Jen, I can't wait to see the rest of your pics with this pregnancy. You'll have to get another shadow shot hehe I had one of those with Warrior.

Esther...are you going to do the belly cast?? What about you Jen? Kim? Though you have a ways. ;)

I'll try to remember to get something together of Warrior's pregnancy. I don't have pics of the others.

Fun stuff gals!!

Kim! I love your belly pic! You have the sweetest shaped belly, gal~

T- I don't think I'll be doing a belly cast~ :) BUT, hub is going to do a photo painting of me when I get a bit... umm... "bigger". :) I can't wait!

photo painting?
maybe I'm having a blonde moment but this just isn't coming to me :p

Sorry... der... I could have explained a bit better, but I was in a hurry to get Li taken care of- she was standing there fussing at me. ::snort:: He takes a photo into Corel Painter and uses different brush strokes to create literally a "painting" of a photo. It's AWESOME. He started this year before last, I believe and now it's actually becoming part of the home printing/photo business; doing photo-paintings for people. Here's an example- http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1241637939920 That example is actually a rather crummy example... I've seen amatuer photo-paintings that look way better than that. but it's at least an example of what I'm talking about.

Thanks! :D As you can see, I'm showing already, and since we can count the number of people we've told about the baby on one hand, getting dressed in the morning is getting more challenging! [whatwacko]

Jen....those look really neat! I've seen some photo shops around here that do those! You'll have to show us yours when it's done! :mrgreen:

ETA: Forgot to say....I likely won't do a belly cast...having to store stuff like that drives me crazy. But I'll take even more photos this time around. I really liked doing that with Callum. :D

Oh ok, yeah, gotcha. The term just wasn't connecting. :p

That is so cool Jen! I can't wait to see yours.
Kim~ you look adorable! I'm so glad you guys are jumping in and sharing your photos.

Tara~ I am still planning on doing the belly cast. I intend to do a full black and white collage of all of my pregnancy photos and then some of the kids, so it won't be finished until after Ellie is born. Then I'll probably hang it in my house somewhere.
Did you do just your belly? or belly and breasts?

Here's Rachel at 33 weeks :-D I hope I did it, this time :mrgreen:
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/reyes4ever90/058.jpg

Sorry forgot to resize :(

don't worry about resizing! She looks fantastic!

Wow Kim, you better get to telling people :) beautiful bump. I really need to get a picture, I've been horrible this time around about pictures and considering this will be my last I should document it!

All of you look so beautiful pregnant!

Aww Rachel looks just darling Donna (something about her reminds me of my cousin)
Esther...I did belly and breasts both times. We kind of soft V the neckline. :)

Found pics:

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t146/LifeThroughMyEyes_07/Artsy/DSC_2097.jpg

These are from Warrior and Nugget.

So cool Tara! What gestation did you do these? Your belly looks so small or maybe mine is just soooo huge LOL

Do you plan on doing something with them? and did you use craft plaster or medical grade?

I was around 8 months in each. My husband probably remembers the weeks, he remembers those things, I don't. LOL
I just used craft plaster strips from Michael's/Hobby Lobby.
We tried a version using gauze strips and plaster of paris (as we had that on hand) but that wasn't happening. We decided to wait another couple weeks and buy the plaster strips from the craft store. :p

One of these days they may get finished. I don't know. I had at one time considered having a friend paint the first one. Then with the other I had thought about a picture collage. I'm just not good at finishing projects. *snort* And of course, there's that small issue of having a newborn to contend with LOL

Ooo...love the belly cast!!! Rachel want to try to do one one her own too :-D With the help of her sister Valorie :mrgreen:

O' my goodness Esther ALMOST [clapping] You look amazing [lovewuvu]

LOL I know. Almost. I didn't want to resize the photo because I wanted everyone to see just how big I really am getting LOL
Almost, though, Almost.

[rotfl]LOL Rachel was just looking at the belly pics of everyone she's so amazed of how big you all are, she's like WOW THAT'S CRAZY, HOW IN THE WORLD?! It's funny cause to us she so big butt when we see ya'll she's tiny :-D

That's hilarious, Esther! I love it! ::snort:: I actually LOL'ed! ::snort:: Your belly us beautiful and your face is just hilarious in the second photo! hehehe Thank you for sharing! You're soooooo close now! You could be holding Ellie annnny day now!!!

16 weeks!

Love your bump gal! But, ugh... no smile? :P hehehe

such a cute belly!

I could show a smile, but the acne is so blinding you might miss it... :b

Believe me, gal, I'm there with ya! My acne this pregnancy has been worse than puberty! It's aweful... Picasa has a great blur tool you can use, then if you use their filtered black and white you can't hardly see it. Ahhh tricks of the trade. ;) Good stuff.

it works well on stretch marks too :)

You all look so wonderfull thanks for sharing

Ooo ooo ooo!!! I can allllmost see you! :) hehehe You look great, babe!

Sorry Jen but I'm not great at self portraits and that's as far as my camera will zoom out... :(
But notice how the bump has poked out suddenly? Now people comment on my pregnancy!

Better?

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/chikkypoo81/008-3.jpg

Gorgeous!!!!!:mrgreen:

Better?

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/chikkypoo81/008-3.jpg

Woo hoo!! You're beautiful gal~ Thank you for indulging me~ :)

Love It!!!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/chikkypoo81/002.jpg

I can't believe how different your belly looks in *JUST* one week!!! Wow! Awesome, gal!

I know, it's crazy!! But crazy exciting too!!! And now begins the serious weight gain... :)

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/chikkypoo81/25wks-1.jpg

Feels like I'm just sorta fatter all over each week. But I'm getting enough of a *bump* that people can tell, and so far I like it! :)

Awwww... I *love* your bump!! And that's very obbbbviously NOT fat, but a baby bump~ :) You look great pregnant, momma~ :)

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/chikkypoo81/28weeks-3-1.jpg

Today, 28 weeks exactly!

Gooooooorgeous!! You & your bump, gal!! ;)

Great picture, Margi! You must be getting really excited... you're not too far behind Jen.

Thanks girls! I actually got kinda excited when I saw this cuz I look REALLY pregnant!!! Sometimes I think I'm not getting that much bigger & then I see a profile shot... :D

I had to skim through this thread to compare my belly size to you ladies. Haha. I think it would probably be more telling if I could find some of my own belly shots from previous pregnancies but I can't! They are all lost on our other laptop that's fried! :(
