This year is going out with a bump!

My dear friend Ash came over the day after Christmas with her hubby & son. Mo & A had a wonderful time playing and running around, and of course being entertained by my dad, who is the biggest kid of them all!
Ash asked me early on in this pregnancy if she could take some bump shots. I balked at first. There was no way anyone was going to see my swollen, stretched out belly in person, let alone memorialized on film forever. She then explained that she would not do any naked stomach shots, and so I said sure.
After seeing this fabulous shot on Courtney's blog of her toddler daughter kissing her belly, I begged Ash to recreate this shot.
Without further adieu, the few shots I have had taken of my belly this second time around. I didn't realize we'd be shooting in the dining room, or I would have put Mo in a different color shirt.





So now, you've seen my belly. What do you think? Is it a boy or a girl?
My kid did manage to pick up the shirt and Ash did get one naked shot of the belly.
I have the pic tagged "Stretchmarks" on my computer.

Being the last post of 2009, I wish you a very happy, healthy, and fun-filled 2010! I'm pretty excited to see what this new year has in store for all of us!
