The belly

We have been taking profile pictures of Meg at intervals throughout the pregnancy to follow her changing girth.  Yeah, I said girth. 

Meg has agreed to let a few select photos be shown as she is quite modest and even a little belly nudity is risque. 

The transformation her body has undergone in only 22 weeks is breathtaking.  While having your body grow so quickly cannot be a comfortable or esteem-building occurence, she has truly grown in beauty and is showing a motherly love in her everyday composure even now.  God has gifted women with amazingly designed bodies that change their very physiology to support the new life growing inside.  For better or worse it doesn't even matter if you care, you're basically along for the ride.  Watching a developing pregnant wife is really an excercise in faith building.

Picture 1 is Megan at 5 weeks into the pregnancy looking fit and trim.

Next we have a short 14 weeks later bringing us to 19 weeks.  Quite the bump a growin.

Finally, we have Christmas and a couple pics of a beaming mother 1 year from Christmas with kids.  Only 20 weeks in at this point.

Even now, as I sit here blogging away, Meg is behind me reading Parade and watching one of them do somersaults against her belly button.
