You were clearly made to have children.<br /><br />I agree that post-birth photos would be perfect. <br /><br />I liked the hiccups because they were a nice "all is well" reminder.

My mom took pictures, and I looked like a bloated, beached whale. I was literally grimacing in pain in every single one. I think it took me three months to smile again.

I'm sure they get some amazing photos but it's just not for me. <br /><br />I'm super jealous of your ability to make it through the night without getting up to pee but glad you get to go to the movies!

Isn't that how many months an elephant gestates for?<br /><br />I feel like an odd woman out, in that I don't feel pressure on my bladder like a lot of pregnant women. I don't think I feel the need to pee any more often than regularly. And I also don't feel my babies all up in my ribs and lungs. Benefits of having a slightly larger build perhaps?? <br /><br />I think the one appealing thing about having a birth photographer is the beautiful, dreamy photos of the first moments with baby. Those are pretty special. So maybe a "post birth photographer" would be nice. They can come in right as the dr. catches the baby and capture everything waist up from then on. Well, maybe not the first latch. But maybe?? <br /><br />I don't understand why you liked the hiccups. They're my least favourite kind of movement from within. So annoying! Thankfully this little girl has control over her diaphragm so far. I love that I can see movements now. I just wish the boys had patience to sit and watch them with me. <br />Larissahttp://larissa.timsevenhuysen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815664897641942884.post-3805320218844219242016-12-09T10:38:35.762-08:002016-12-09T10:38:35.762-08:00Yeahhhh when we have kids, I will not be hiring a ...Yeahhhh when we have kids, I will not be hiring a birth photographer either. I don't need some stranger up in my hoo-ha when I don't think I even want my HUSBAND down there during birth. They say all modesty goes out the window, but I know myself. <br /><br />It is funny how completely different (or completely identical) siblings can be. My mom loves to tell me that before I was born, I kicked her CONSTANTLY and was just constantly moving around. Then, as a child, I was the kid who hid in her room and read books all day and loved to be left alone. My sister, on the other hand, didn't move around a whole lot before she was born, but grew into the most rambunctious, hyperactive, can't-sit-still kid. I guess you just never know how they're going to turn out!<br /><br />I'm so glad you'll get to go see Star Wars! I'm not even that excited about this one (side stories don't really interest me all that much) but I was a little bummed that you weren't going to get to go. We're going on Christmas Eve, per tradition.<br /><br /><br /><br />Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815664897641942884.post-81620179805594075982016-12-09T10:10:20.800-08:002016-12-09T10:10:20.800-08:00The thought of having a birth photographer totally...The thought of having a birth photographer totally freaked me out haha.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.com
