And now, for everyone's viewing pleasure, we are proud to present the progressive formation of our baby as seen on Christa's belly! Above is one of the first pics we took on September 20th. Not too much change from normal.
Here we are on December 7th, and although there is some rounding going on, there still isn't too much pronounced "baby belly". At this point Christa was getting eager to see some big change. We had no idea what was in store over the next few weeks....
The growth spurt hits! This one is from January 11th, and as the photo shows Christa's belly really has begun sloping nicely. It is incredible how fast this happened! We don't know exact weight gain during the spurt, but let's just say that she has gained 17 lbs so far and at least half of that in the first three weeks of January! Wow! This entire pregnancy is one amazing adaptation after another. I am continually in awe of Christa's ability to be the perfect vessel for this growing child, and the baby isn't even here yet!
This is documentation of something Christa holds near and dear to her, and is very reluctant to lose. Yes, that is her "innie" belly button quickly becoming an "outie". It will be a sad day for her when the inner navel pushes out, but I try reassuring her that the change is temporary.
