Introducing Me



Check that big belly out. :) I could show you me, but I don't really look like "me" right now, so here's a part of me. Plus, now I can say I have a picture of my belly. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and very ready to be finished with the whole thing. I'm getting pretty anxious to hold our new little one. And, big sisters Emily (6) and Anna (2 1/2) are ready to meet their new little brother or sister, too.

About the photo... I took this one of myself, in the bathroom mirror, so the lighting wasn't so great. I did some post-processing in Photoshop, but as I opened it here, I really don't like it. The white is ok, but my darks should definitely look darker. Lesson learned, I guess. I'm still using that 50mm lense with the 'ginormous' learning curve. :P

How fun! I can't believe you're waiting to find out what you're having. I couldn't do that! Bathroom lighting is tricky, but all things considered . . . you did a great job.
