22 weeks and counting...



Hi. Amanda here.


I decided to write a quick blog and post some pictures of myself. I am not vain, but I know that there are family and friends who do not get to see me often and they want to know how my "belly" is progressing. Well, here it is! As you can see, it is just a little basketball. It looks a lot bigger to me, so when I saw these pictures that Jared took, I was surprised at just how little it still is!


We have our next appointment with the midwife on Monday. I'm anxious to see how much weight I've gained over the last month. At our last appointment I had only gained 1 pound. However, on a recent snowshoe with Jared I remarked how I felt very sluggish; like I was dragging around an extra 15 pounds... who knows, maybe I am!

Wow now the whole Jersey clan is posting on the blog, how sweet!
Amanda you look wonderful thanks for the photos. Honestly you look like you gained more than l lb. but I will talk to you on Monday so see how you did this month.
Jared, remember what I said today. GO TO THE DOCTORS. Hope you are feeling better. You have a great weekend, talk to you Monday.

Amanda you look great and so does the Bean.
Don't let Jared show his belly or your blog might be banned from the blogosphere.

Panda you look great! Thanks for the pictures so we can see how the bean is progressing. I have to agree with mom that you definitely look like you've gained more than 1 lb. and I also have to agree with Uncle Bob that we don't need to see Jared's belly, I think he already showed it to us in one of his earlier blogs and trust me once is enough (ha! ha!)! :)

Everything will go well on Monday, I'll be thinking of you.

Hey Amanda!! I especially like the red hook brewery sign pointing more or less to your belly.

knitnzu: I'm glad you caught the red hook sign! The brewers of the best beer on the planet, and probably the thing I miss most about moving from Portsmouth (the brewery was there!)

Kate & Karen,
If you can't recognize the difference between a pregnant woman's belly and porn, then you have issues.

If you don't like it you don't have to look at it.
