Pregnancy Portraits

Shelly and I went to a local park the other day where she took a ton of pregnancy pictures of me. She got about 150, but I'll spare you with just the ones below. It was so fun to do with a friend and it'll be fun to look back on these later on to see my 8-month pregnant self. Thanks Shelly!
I like this one with the pretty trees.
This one we call my "rock star" photo because of my hair. This one I call, "I caught my toes in a spiderweb". Really I did. (Sidenote: There was also a snake at the end of this bridge and over that gate thing you see at the end. It was really cool.)

Classic pregnancy pose. Hands on the hips and stretching the ribs.
This one I call "I'm ready for my pony now Dad". A nail-biter since the wee age of two, my dad promised me a pony if I grew them out. Well, thanks to pregnancy, I think a pony is in order now.
