Preggers Photos and Playing Catch Up

Early on in the pregnancy, I thought to myself how fun it might be if we took the "bump photos" -- you know, a photo a week. But then I collected myself and realized that everybody does those photos. Not that I didn't still want to... but I was worried that Eric might think I was becoming too much I'm-pregnant-so-now-we-get-to-do-these-cliche-things. We weren't planning on Tiny, I reminded myself. We're both still getting used to the idea of having a baby. Don't drop everything on him all at once. Wait to mention the photos. I was a little sad.

One day, I hear Eric calling me into the other room. He's got his computer on his lap. He's on facebook. He's looking through the photos of one of our friends who is pregnant.

"Wenders, look at this. She's taken a photo of herself every week to document how her belly grows. What a great idea! I wonder how she thought of that..."

I could have shaken him. Or myself.

"Eric. Everyone does that."
"They do?"
"Yeah. I wanted to, but I didn't bother mentioning it too you because I was worried you'd think it was cliche."
"I think it's kinda cute."

So we've started taking preggers photos a bit late. And I've also reminded myself (again) not to underestimate my husband.

So here's last week, week 22, since I forgot to share it:

And here's this week. Tiny just keeps growing. (A good thing.) The other day, I saw my abdomen move with Tiny's kicking for the first time. Saw the outside of it move.
