40 weeks feels like an eternity when you are watching your belly grow. Feeling those squirms and kicks. Watching your feet swell. Waiting to meet that sweet angel baby that makes crazy shapes out of your tummy. Its so easy to complain about being whale-ish, not being able to sleep, and visiting the ladies room 1029938 times a day. Sometimes more! And it seems those weeks drag on forever.

And then you hold that baby. And the being whale-ish, not being able to sleep, and those 1029948 potty breaks seem like they happened so long ago…and passed so quickly. I have been so blessed to carry three wonderful children into this world. I have been blessed with healthy and happy pregnancies. And you know what I wish I had? Pictures to prove it. Thats right. Little Mrs. Photographer here has ZERO pictures of herself being whale-ish. I regret that. I wish I would have put aside my double chin and chubby ankles and let that big ol’ belly take front and center.

Because…look….its beautiful.

Isnt she wonderful? This is from a session way back when…Her sweet little angel is already here….and Im sure she is looking back on her 40 weeks….and missing it…if even just a little.
