Since it has been a while, I decided it was time for a belly update.Comparisons to fruit and vegetables are useful, but a picture is worth a thousand words, etc. Last night I had R pose for a variety of shots to show off her cute tummy to the world. We used the office (aka bedroom #3) for our impromptu photoshoot. This allowed us a variety of action shots, which should provide some insight into the life of our lovely pregnant lady.
Despite the growing discomfort and decreased mobility that comes from advanced stages of pregnancy, R still maintains a busy schedule. Nevertheless, she finds time to keep up with friends. Here she is reading a blog posting by her good friend and world traveller, T. Sadly, R doesn't like to make a lot of comments on these blogs. She's more of a lurker.
While lurking at T's blog, R was suddenly wracked with discomfort. Junior had braced his head against one wall and started pushing his feet against the opposite wall with all his might. In this photograph (right), R indicates the points on her stomach where she could feel the straining head and feet. Perhaps the child was protesting the sudden encroachment of the dinner meal on his living space.
This last one is a shot of our favourite pregnant lady sitting on a purple exercise ball. There's something about a bulging tummy that screams out: "you should sit on that purple exercise ball!"
A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture with a purple exercise ball is probably worth an extra 455 words.

You have really grown quite a bit since we saw you at Christmas. Looks good on you !
I remember when I was pregnant with J. He was very active. As time went on I was actually able to grab his little heel or elbow as he was pushing out and he would quickly bring it back in. I think he was doing his best to expand his living space and there just wasn't much more expanding that could be done.
Looking great, R!
She's so cute!! Did you guys hear that those balls are good for early labor? I never used ours but supposedly it helps for getting through contractions or something.
And to think I just had to sit on a chair and push, like my sister-in-law's mother-nurse had told her, until it was time to wake Ralph. Oh, how times have changed! But hey, it was my first, and came in just 3 hours from first pain until "arrival!" Who says that was not a neat trick???
R you look wonderful.I know it seems like this will never end but enjoy it! Once you have your little one,your world will never be the same. Thanks for the memories.
Just in case everyone has not figured it out I'm not R's or D's mom but a friend.
