I've heard that you take less pictures of your second baby/ child than you did of your first. Well, it's happening already to me. When I was pregnant with Dallin we took a picture of my stomach every month to track my progress. We also took a picture of Jake every month to see if he gained any sympathy weight. Do you think he did? Nope! I don't think he CAN gain weight. But with this second pregnancy, we can't seem to remember to take pictures! We took tons of pictures when we found out I was pregnant with Dallin. The first picture we took this time was when I was 11 weeks, after I'd already had my first doctor's appointment! We've only taken two "pregnancy progress" pictures total, one in the first trimester, and one in the second. I guess this time we'll make it a trimester tracking, rather than a monthly one.
Here's me 2 weeks ago, at about 19 weeks.
And here's Jake: 2 weeks ago, and the month before we had Dallin. See any change in 2 years? The only difference is he's sucking in on the second picture!
And here's me pregnant with Dallin. 6 weeks and Christmas, 2 weeks before he was born.
Looking back on those pictures, maybe it wasn't such a good idea- do I really want it documented how HUGE I got? And why did I let Jake take my picture first thing in the morning? What was I thinking? The picture of my stomach on my due date would have proved how huge I got to those of you who look at me now and say "you don't even look pregnant!" I know, I just look kinda fat. But that picture was way too ugly and embarrassing to post! Maybe that's why I've been "forgetting" to take pictures this pregnancy.

That is so great that you took all those pictures with Dallin. I have alwaysd heard that it is common for your first to be the worst with retaining water & bloing up in yourface, etc. So atleast you got that! The only pictures I can think of that we took are around 3 months & one a month before Polly was born. I took one before leaving to go get induced, but our computer crashed & those pictures weren't back up yet. :( So sad. Not really. :)
You are so cute! I love the pictures - you'll be so glad you have them.
We took tons of pictures of both our boys - we were sending weekly letters and pix to their birthmoms for the first year. But after the year was up - the pictures died down so fast. This was before digital cameras - we kept running to Harmons to develop film every week.
I didn't know your boys were adopted! No wonder they look so different from each other!
First of all, may I say how daring you are to post your bare stomach. I'm pretty sure I don't have the guts to do that - pregnant or not. Secondly, you look adorable in all the pictures, Finally, little Abigail (or whatever you name her) will survive - I promise. Plus, I'm sure you won't have a problem taking pictures once she arrives!
Forget forget forget...I would always tell people who said,you don't even look pregnant, "oh but I won't disappoint" You are brave to post a belly shot.
You look great!
