Fun Facts About These Three Photos:

• Steve was the photographer for all of them.
• Picture number 1 and 3 were taken at the Botanical Gardens. Picture number 2 was taken at my house.
• My age was respectively 26, 28, and 32 years old.  Yes, I am aware of how young I look in the first one.  What can I say?  Motherhood does a number on you.
• I am wearing the same shirt in photo number 2 and 3.  I bought it at a resale shop and wore it endlessly, it even took a hiatus to my friend, Kristen, with her pregnancy.  It's been washed at least three hundred times and still is going strong.  I should give it to the Smithsonian--but that would be such a waste of a good maternity shirt.
• I am about eight months along in all three photos.  
• I am wearing a cross necklace Steve bought me in Key West in 2004 in pictures 1 and 2.  In picture 3 I'm wearing a new cross necklace Steve gave me for Christmas 2009.  
• In all three pictures I'm thinking about my future children looking at the pictures years from now.  I hope they appreciate my sentiment and aren't grossed out by seeing my bare belly. 
• My left hand is the lowest on my belly in all three pics.  I don't know why that is, but my left hand is my dominate one, perhaps I count on that one to hold that massive mound up?
