So, in the spirit of getting over myself and any potential photos that might be taken this holiday season, I had Lane take a photo to memorialize the beginning of this last trimester. I happened to be dressed up for a church thing, so I went ahead and swallowed my pride. I did realize (being dressed up) that I am cheap. I refuse to buy maternity tights, simply bunching my tights below my belly ... and it's starting to backfire on me. Tonight, as we were walking to the car, I could feel my tights falling and had to laugh at myself as I fought the urge to hike them back up.
So enough rambling ... I have to say, besides the non-stop acid reflux, I really have no complaints about my pregnancy. I know I whine sometimes about the baby kicking me in the ribs, but deep down I'm just thrilled to be feeling her kick. I let myself worry too much when she doesn't reach my unrealistic standards of how often or how hard she should be kicking.

You look darling! Believe my in another 6 months you'll look back on these photos with fondness of the innocence you see in your eyes. Before you knew what changing diapers 15 times a day felt, or spit up on your church outfit, or the fatigue that comes with getting 4 hours of sleep a night. Only three month left of freedom! (maniacal laughter) --- I have to torture you, I'm your older sister :)
Rachel, you look amazing! You've always been pretty. We are so happy for you and Lane. Cherish this time...I'm a bit jealous. It seems all my best friends are mothers now. I'm a pretty damn good aunt though for my friends! I know you a truck load of sisters, but you better just realize you're one of my sisters! I love ya and the wee' lil' one inside ya.
Look how fabulous you look! You are going to be the cutest mom!!
And I have to agree with your friend Tara ... I'm so jealous of all the new moms and repeat moms-to-be in my life. But I, too, am getting pretty good at the Aunt thing!
Hey ... you still need to send me your address! E-mail me!! :-)
Two words: Thigh highs.
And can I just say - you are so beautiful.
