Instead of the good complexion and sunny dispostion that many women have during pregnancy, I was a perpetual shade of green. I puked so much that I knew where the nearest available toilet or garbage can was in every locale I frequented.
It is safe to say that I was not, in fact, rocking the baby bump.
That is why this picture is oh so special to me.
A local photographer and friend snapped family photos for us when I was 7 months pregnant with Ellerie. It happened to be a good day for me. I was not feeling sick, and Ethan and Abbie were having a ball getting their pictures taken. I just relaxed and enjoyed the moment.
That day, and probably only that day, I rocked my baby bump.
Later I found out that that picture was chosen to be on the cover of a local mom's magazine. It has proven to be a super special momento of probably my last pregnancy.

I was perpetually green my entire pregnancy too. Even the thought of being pregnant again makes me feel mildly nauseous.
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks amazing. :)
That is awesome that everything came together that day and you got featured!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! You look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI failed pregnancy, too. I swelled up like an Oomp Loompa with my 1st, and puked until I delivered my 2nd. This baby-making factory has been liquidated and shut down for good!
That is so cool that you have a keepsake like that as a memory. It's a great pic!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your fab keepsake is FAMOUS! Love that! And yes, you did rock it- that photo is pure gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo, Annie! And I love the name Ellerie.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous pic!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
That is a beautiful picture. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're story of the picture says a lot! That's kind of how being a mother is for me. It seems like it is full of poop and whining and a lot of physical and mental pain, but the pay off? Those days you are feeling good and everything is going right? They are easily overlooked and out numbered but they're worth everything in the world. What a great pic!

How cool is that!? I love how you made the shout out to your mom at the beginning...I should have done one to my parents on mine as well or they may be thinking it's me trying to tell them something! Haha!
ReplyDeleteVery special keepsake there, mama. You looked marvelous. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture! And how cool to be featured on a magazine!
ReplyDeleteThat is just so awesome that you get such an amazing keepsake of a precious (albeit rare) pregnancy moment. Love it when life works out like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how pregnant woman got those beautiful pictures of themselves - so you are saying it is all just a fluke. :)
That really does make me feel better.
That is an adorable pregnancy picture and it's nice that it was featured on a magazine cover. Good thing you were feeling well that day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture - beautiful! I didn't get sick when I was pregnant but in my last trimester I had wicked heartburn. I never realized heartburn could hurt that much. And yes, as the wive's tale goes, my son did come out with a lot of hair. haha
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that you got featured! I would tresure that cover for sure. And you looked great!
ReplyDeleteI was not sick at all during my pregnancies.
ReplyDeleteI looked like crap because I was too lazy to rock the look.
But you, lady, YOU rocked it.
GORGEOUS. Really.
Oh cool, your bump is famous!
ReplyDeleteOh Annie! I'm in love with this! You look gorgeous and what an incredible photo! LOVE!!!!
