Progress Pictures

With Liam, I was really good at taking monthly(ish) pictures of my growing belly.  I wasn't quite as good with Joy, and poor Noah, well, I think he has two.  So here she grows:

17 weeks, 1 week before we found out about Joy's diagnosis:

 23 weeks:

35 weeks:

 41 weeks:

 42 weeks:  (I feel like "42 weeks pregnant" is not a statement that anyone should ever have to make.  More on that later!  So if I look huge and uncomfortable and tired, you know why. And if I look like I just rolled out of bed, it's because I did. This picture was taken as we were getting ready to leave for the hospital on the day of Joy's birth.)

So there you have it!
