Well I dont' know how many of you know, but we found out Friday that we are expecting our second baby. This comes as a total shock, but a great one at that. Won't give you the details. I thought about doing a series of photos of my pregnancy at two week intervals of my belly. LOL..not that some of you would like to see my belly get fatter and fatter but thought it would be a neat thing to do and a memory that I will never forget. Then I thought once I have the baby, I would animate the photos and make it look like my belly is growing and then at the end, there will be a baby. So what do you all think? Would this be soemthing you would like seeing or would you like me to keep my fat belly to myself...LOL...Would love any imput you guys might have.. Leigh

Heya, I think this would be a really incredible and unique thing to do - and like you said, it would be a memory you'd never forget. Make my vote an 'aye,' and congratulations while I'm at it. :) Malenchite

First of all, congratulations, leigh. I absolutely agree with Alpha. It would be great to see a "documentary" from the mothers perspective. Not only the changes in you belly, but all the changes that happen around you. This can be unique. Count on me too if you need any help if you finally decide to do it. Good luck and congratulations again. Arturo

Thank you to all!! I will do this series/documentation of my pregnancy. I am getting really excited about this and think that there could be some real eye opening things that can be shown with this. Alpha, Oh I do know what you mean by things not turning out the way we want them to. Two years ago I lost a baby at 21 weeks and a friend of mine lost a baby at birth. So I know that there is the risk of mishaps all along the way, but I am willing to share any and all experiences my family and I have. Its funny how you mentioned my daughters reactions to this baby. As of right now, she is tickled pink about it. She already knows what is in mommy's belly. Wish I could get that expression in a photo. One day I am going to try. Please all of you, keep the ideas coming. I have a doctors appointment today and will take the first appointment picture. I already have the 6 weeks pregnant photo taken, not a pretty sight. LOL Now about photos of the delivery. This could be hard. Unless one of you want to come down to Florida and help out. LOL. I am not sure my husband will be willing to take the photos. He gets so wrapped up in helping me and looking at all the blood and freaking out that I will die, that I don't think he wouldn't be good behind the camera. But I sure will see what I can do. Thanks for all the support and ideas. I really think this is going to be fun. Even if it means you all get to see my belly get fatter and fatter and fatter. Leigh

Congrats, Leigh!!! I only have one picture of my other half when she was pregnant with our first, so I say a hearty 'aye' too - like they said, it will be a unique thing to have in the future.... well done, and thanks for offering 2 share it with us all!

(I've got to start reading topics the right way around - in other words start at the bottom!) This sounds like a great idea, Leigh. I've seen photo exhibitions of mothers' photos of their newborn babies and how they grow the first year or so, but the whole pregnancy bit never seems to be done...so good thinking! It really will be something special for your baby too, something s/he can treasure as they grow up. Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with :-) ~M~ Oh, and again, congrats!
