photos

I uploaded some pregnancy pictures this evening. Not a complete set by any means, but I figure it's better than nothing. Enjoy!

I apologize for the strong backlighting in the photos. The pregnant human is a surprisingly difficult creature to capture on film (or even compact flash). I've taken many photos, but none of them adequately communicate her shape, her stance or her stride. It's a truly beautiful thing to behold.

Will you tell us your weight and circumference?

Posted by: Jessica at July 24, 2005 07:50 AM

Nope. :)

In the absence of such information, we'll just have to say that you're really, really huge.

But not compared to the Goodyear blimp.

Do we have a name yet??

Nope. :)

Jen,
I think you look great! Not huge! Definitely pregnant, but even debatable on how soon the delivery would be - you don't look like you will explode any minute, or that you will be floating over the World Series or whatever the next big golf tourney is (damn, missed out on the British Open reference opportunity).
I have heard that pedicures/foot massages are very popular in the 3rd trimester - you should treat yourself to one soon!

Hi Jen,
You look absolutely serene and very, very, pregnant. Just think, in a few weeks or even days, you'll be a mommy. I can't believe that the little baby girl I remember from when you first made your appearance will now be showing off her own baby. Liz and I wish you and Gary the very best and hope that you have a speedy and calm delivery. Can't wait for the 'little guy' to make his appearance.
Love,
Aunt Mari

Hi Jen,
I was just thinking the other day about how you'll look by now and these photo's do satisfied my curiosity. You still look very cute as a pregnant woman and just about the same size since you've gone on maternity. And please tell Gary that he has earned extra brownie points for what he had said above. Based on the love you have for each other, I know you'll be great parents!

Did you ever read "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton? If you recall, the Clock family had names "you could tell with half an ear" were borrowed: Pod, Homily and Arietty.

I was thinking that you could borrow some popular names but make them more original, such as

Tedward
O'Brian
Imax
Gackery
Stimothy
Robber

and my perennial favorite:

L'Dwayne.

No.

Quit asking.
