It's 1:30 am...

And after crashing after work and falling asleep too early - now I am awake, and suffering from heartburn that is possibly going to turn into nausea. I figured being upright may calm my stomach - and keep Brad awake certainly isn't doing anything useful, so hey - why not post some pictures??

Brad did a photo shoot a few weeks back - his first foray into a professional studio setting with all the fancy lights etc...that entails - and these are some of the shots he came up with.

I feel like I'm already WAY bigger than I was here - but this will definitely help you see how different I look than I did before baby...

So - here we go...a few pictures from the shoot:


This next one's from a cool angle - I think Brad was on a ladder (he may be tall, but not THIS tall).




This next one is just a nice shot of me - when you're pregnant, and just feel fat a lot (or at least I do), it's nice to be reminded that I can still look good - thanks, Brad...
Next is one that's just a "Classic Maternity Picture"...

The next two show the power of computers. Brad turned This:
Into This:

I thought I'd show you the original, just so you didn't think I was naked (without explanation, Brad's gotten a few weird looks when showing this picture to people - the costumer in me instantly notices things like the bow in the back, but others may not notice such details, and get a little confused.

So - there you go - the first belly pictures - and I think they're GREAT! I wouldn't want to do studio shooting all the time, but this was a lot of fun for one night (although it was late!!) and I'm glad we got a bunch of shots so we can show you the best of the best.

We'll try to keep you more updated with pictures as the rest of the pregnancy progresses - but I'm certainly not inspired at 6:00 at night to look my best and get pictures - that's for sure!
