The Evolution of my Pregnant Face

You expect your belly to get bigger. (I'm now to the point where I'm praying my belly button manages to remain sealed and not split apart, releasing whatever is now behind there.)

You expect other parts of your body to enlarge as well. Check!

But my face has, perhaps, been most disturbing to me...


Ahhhh... August 30, 2009. Though my face has always been big, it seems to be as in proportion with my body as it will ever get in this photo.

October 10, 2009 - getting bigger. Good choice to wear my hair in a ponytail and accentuate its fullness! I am still doing that! Why??

November 17, 2009 - bigger still. A swollen face with which to meet The Pioneer Woman! I was even showing some, and she didn't notice. She probably just thought I had a beer gut and gigantic cheeks.

Now, I don't have any pictures of me between December and March, and for good reason! But then I had a beautiful shower on March 6, 2010, and my family (but mostly Aunt Jan) and friends took about a million pictures throughout the entire day, and I couldn't say "no." Well, I did, but they didn't listen.

Sadly, I am having to throw out about 95% of all pictures of me from this day, keeping a precious few for memories that I know I'll someday treasure.

But not now:

Because by March 6, 2010 - JEEZ!!

And this is a "good" one!!! What next month will bring - I cannot imagine.
