Comparison at 20 ish weeks

Here we are, just past the halfway point of this pregnancy.  So I figured it was time to post some belly pics.  And to keep things a little fun, I went digging into our picture archives to find some photos of my previous pregnancies.  And it's all working out nicely since I found pictures from each pregnancy that were taken at about the same point.  Perfect for a little perspective and comparison.

Here I am with baby #3.  This was at 20 weeks.  And now I'm at 22 weeks.  We don't know what we're having and hope to keep it that way until the delivery.  A good ol' fashioned surprise!
This was at 20 weeks with baby #2, our little man.  Notice, that I'm about the same visual size now as then.  And yes, I'm wading in water that's touching the glacier in the background.  Not to mention the waterfall that is surging with snow melt.  Shortly after we took this picture, we waded to the other side of this "finger" of the lake to get closer to the falls.  I'll just tell ya--it was COLD!  Never mind that it was June.
This was me at 18 weeks with baby #1 our little missy.  Just look at that ridiculous little baby bump.  You can hardly see it!  No wonder I've felt so big with #2 and #3.  I am compared to this picture.  And on a side note, this photo was taken at the Pittock Mansion in Oregon.  It was a photo we didn't end up choosing for our Christmas card that year, but it shows the belly pretty well. 
And on another side note, check out the hair on my husband's head!  If you never knew us until we moved to Alaska, then you've probably never seen him like this.  Sometimes I wish he'd grow out his hair like this again.  But there will be more on hair growth in another post....

Okay, even though I never found out if I was having a boy or a girl, I disappointed that your not finding out. I was hoping I would have more time to prepare baby gifts for you.

I love it... you're close to one of the cutest pregnant women I've seen. Go Mama!

Amy, the baby should arrive in the middle of the summer. So theoretically you'll have the second half of the summer to make any preparations you'd like.
And Megan, I'm only close?! I'll have to keep working at it then. :)

You look great, as usual. My belly is as similarly large this time as with Will. I laugh at my pics of when I was prego with Sophie, also - there wasn't ANYTHING there even though I thought there was. You're over halfway - that's SO exciting!!

You were a lot smaller with your first pregnancy. But, that was 2 weeks prior to 20 wks. A couple weeks can grow wonders. =) You are a great looking pregnant lady. Agreed, Megan.

You look wonderful! I'm glad you're feeling pretty well, too.
