Scary pregnancy photos

In an effort to make our loopy friend Lisa feel a little better, someone posted a bit of a challenge on my hs list for us to post our scariest pregnancy pics. Of course, Lisa looks terrific, and to rub it in a little more, she looks like she's about 23. (At least she's NOT!)

This scary pic is from 9/94, when I was 8 months pregnant with Holly. You can't tell which end of me was pregnant.


This was a few days before she was born. Gotta love that belly button sticking out. Overall, I gained about 40 lbs.


Here I am in '98, 7 months pregnant with Trevor. I ate a LOT of ice cream every single night, so after I gained 40 lbs., I stopped weighing myself. Just like a whale, the only thing that felt good was swimming. Trevor loved it too; he would turn somersaults while I was in the water. But I thought pregnant women were supposed to get chests . . .


Trevor was my 10.1 lb. baby. I'm not into pain and had an epidural--but you know I'm from peasant stock. I could have easily been working in the fields until minutes before his birth. Two pushes from me and Trevor FLEW out, no swelling, no pain, no nothing. You remember that nerf-football feeling after giving birth? I skipped that too. It comes in handy when babies are born during harvest time.
