I can say in all honesty, before having kids, I dreamt of the day I'd get this cute little "baby bump" and get to wear maternity clothing. Then I got pregnant and was horrified at how fast my vanity took over (previously I did have a flat stomach, which I found out the hard way I was rather attached to). I actually think my mother-in-law had to sneak a profile picture in Wal-Mart at one point because I was such a terror about not letting anyone document my mass.
With Cooper, I was just thrilled to not be gaining weight EVERYWHERE like I did with Em. I had this basketball under my shirt and I thought I was doing something right. Now, I'm recanting my efforts in that venture and am of the opinion that some people just carry certain kids better than others. Boo seems to be following in the path of her/his sister. I hate to admit that everything seems to be getting bigger, faster than ever before, but reality is harsh sometimes. At least my favorite top (gracia Aunt Nancy!!!) still fits, but just barely. I'm dreading having to go back to pants that don't have zippers and tops that have more elastic capabilities than an ice skater's costume, but I know it's coming... actually, mostly here already but not full-time, at least not yet.
So, here's Boo, in all her/his glory. I might have been sucking in, just a little, in this photo, but I doubt anyone will fault me. Especially since sucking in makes me feel smaller, but really only turns my face a bit blue. :)

"BOO" is cute ... however, you say "everything is bigger -- faster" .... could Boo have a little brother/sister there too?
"Boo" AND "Peek" :-)
Okay, probably not ... but it is a cute thought: Peek -a- Boo ! :-)
Sorry Carol, but no. Only one and that's for sure, for sure. They like their scans in this country and we've had like 3 already because of un-cooperation on Boo's part. But thanks for the, er, encouraging(?) thought.
