Where did that come from?

Okay, so everyone wants to see belly pics. I definitely stalk all my pregnant friends pages looking for them, but have not felt that to be a good enough reason to overcome laziness and post my own. So today is the day. Though I've discovered I don't really have that many. I think the fact that I didn't look pregnant for a long time, mostly just chubby, didn't really provide the motivation to take pictures. Plus, I always want to take them on the day that starts my pregnancy week, which mostly means two days after that I remember and decide to wait until the next week... The other issue could be that with the construction on the bathroom we don't have any mirrors in the house in which I can see anything lower than my shoulders. Looking down I don't feel like there is much bump. However, when we went to Humpy's to meet some friends for dinner the other night they had a full length mirror. As I stood there, waiting for my turn in the turned out to be empty stall, I was a little surprised that I looked like I might be pregnant. Short story long, tonight I pulled out the real camera (not attached to my phone) and took a picture at 22 weeks and 3 days so I could get the ball rolling.

Okay, I tried a massive update last week and the pictures wouldn't post right... so I deleted it all and moved on to other tasks... Guess this time I'll start smaller. Annie announced the news that she will have her first "sibling" in September. I don't think she knows what is coming, but I'm sure it'll make her all sorts of nervous once it gets here. She feels the need to be responsible around babies, but is not fond of the noise or things that poop in the house.

Here are some pictures of the baby at about 18 weeks. We don't know the gender, and don't plan to find out until the birth. So few real surprises these days, we figured this would be a big one.
