Hi TT friends!

I have 17 weeks to go until I have to be dragged to the hospital only to endure the most painful experience a woman can ever have! But at least I get to bring a baby home with me!  bear_tongue  I thought I would share a couple of pics of my pregnancy so far with all of you.  I decided to play around with photoshop a bit...

Kimberly, what beautiful pictures!!!
If this is your first child , I will not lie, this will be the worst pain you will EVER have , but with the pain will come the most pure feeling of love there is, I love my husband, I love my family and I love my friends, but until I had children I had no idea what pure selfless love was, I would trade my life to protect my children. It is such a wonderful journey you are about to travel, my blessing and best wishes are with you.
God bless that wonderful new life.

Thank you so much, Jodi! bear_original  This will be my third, so I know all too well the pain!  especially since I went through labor the first two times 'au natural' ie. no epidural...

And yes, it's a wonderful love; now we have another to add to it!!  bear_wub

Oh what wonderfull photo's Kimberly, I think you must be due around the same time as my daughter.  Do you know what your having or is it a big suprise?
My daughter is expecting a little boy about the 8th of June, and she is absolutely radient just like you are in the photo's.  At one stage we thought she had lost the baby, but everything is fine now and going smoothly.
Boys must be more trouble than girls I think  bear_grin

Congrats on No. 3. Love the pictures. I really like that pregnant women today are proudly showing their tummies to the world with more form fitting clothing.

Awww, you ladies are SO SWEET!! Thank you!  bear_wub  The second trimester IS certainly the most comfortable one...  I remember all too well how uncomfortable it gets right around 9 months... then I'll REALLY be glowing! LOL  It's amazing how the body works and times things just right... if I never got uncomfortably big I think I could happily stay pregnant forever! lol

Did anyone else feel kind of weird after they gave birth because suddenly there wasn't anything squirming around in there that you'd gotten so used to? lol

I totally remember that feeling.  A couple of times after giving birth, I woke up in the middle of the night laying flat on my stomach.... then completely freaked out that I was doing that!  bear_wacko   then I remembered... there's no body IN there anymore!   :doh:

LOL, I REMEMBER DOING THAT TOO!! This baby is sooo active (I feel it off and on all day AND all night) that I think it's going to be really strange once it's not in there anymore.

Oh, I think someone asked earlier if we knew the gender yet or if we wanted to know... YES we want to know big time, and we've had the regular ultrasound and the tech thinks it just might be a boy this time.  We already have 2 girls, so a boy would be GREAT!! but we will be happy no matter what, the most important thing is that the baby is HEALTHY!  Chad was really sweet and scheduled a 3D ultrasound for me as a Valentine's Day present; I'll be going to that April 7th, and then I'll be begging the tech to TRY to look for baby boy or girl parts!

If I can, I'll try to put some 3D ultrasound pics on here; maybe they can put them on the disc with the video of the ultrasound.
