Humiliating Myself on the World Wide Web

My friend Karen over at the Big Trade Off is very close to having a brand new little baby. We all have begged for pictures and she has very graciously obliged, giving us beautiful pictures of her glowing self. But now she has turned the tables on her readers. She is asking for pictures of US when we were pregnant. So Karen, I will give you the good and the UGLY.

This first picture is me at 34 weeks with little Gemma. (baby number 6)

Now, this next one is a big stretch for me. (Deep breathing Heth) It is I think maybe the day before I had Jack. (number 5) I can't believe I am about to do this, but I give you possibly THE ugliest photo ever. And here I am, posting it on the internet?! Karen, you said even your nose was swelling, well how about your eyelids? Feel free to burst into uncontrollable laughter. Here goes nothing......



Ok, now I am going to go crawl into a hole and die.

You are beautiful! I have much, much worse. Especially with number one...I didn't know yet that you shouldn't give in to those crazy pregnancy thoughts like, "I should cut off all my hair. I bet I'd look very cute with short, short, super-short hair" Well, I wasn't.

Beautiful pictures! You don't look swollen at all. In fact, you look pregnant with a first child in both pictures, because you don't have that tired, pregnant look that I seemed to have all the time with pregnancies 3 & 4. If I had such cute pictures I would share them with everyone.

You do pregnancy well...imagine how pretty you'll be when #7 is cooking.

my worst ones are in the hospital after a very short very hard labor. I look like someone ran my head through a blender.

Heth, you're a doll! Do you have pics to post from pregnancies 1-4? I'd love to see them!

Sara said...

Awww Heth! I love BOTH photos! You're gorgeous. I think you should do a series of preggo pics from ALL SIX kiddos. Now that would be fun.

CRY!!! I look now even more swollen and huge than you did the day before you had Jack! I'm 34 weeks now too. You look awesome in your 34 week photo. And look at you now, wearing those skinny jeans...I'm happy for you. No, really I am. I'm not jealous at all...not one bit...

awwwww, Heth.. you are super cute. Every pregnacy I've seen you're still gorgeous..sooo is this a hint?? LOL!

You are a gorgeous, and dare I say it - fashionable - pregnant lady. I wish my late pregnancy pictures looked that good. Although I didn't puff up too much in the face, by the end I was surviving in REALLY ugly extra large tshirts because nothing else would cover my belly. No matter what Rachel on Friends wore during her pregnancy, belly baring shirts aren't for me.

Wow Heth, you look great in these pictures!

Um, no to pictures of me while pregnant - mostly didn't take in. Those that were taken - deep deep in a box in the closet somewhere!

I tagged you with a meme if you're interested.
