Oh, pregnancy.  I feel like looking at the halfway point pictures with each of my pregnancies points to how I was feeling at the time. 

With Twig1, I was still feeling so so so sick and had just been given the blessing of Zofran (praise God from whom all blessings flow!).  I was unsure of how life would change in the very near future.  We were home from North Carolina for a wedding we were attending, and I was having a hard time with the idea of going back to NC.  I was also not sure how my body would change before Twig1 came.  I think you can see the uncertainty in my eyes. 

Twig2's pregnancy was such a happy time for me.  I felt relatively good–and I was really excited about adding a new person to our family.  I was feeling better at this point that I had with Twig1, and I was majorly thankful for that.  I felt peaceful and confident about the months to come…and I felt like I knew what was coming as far as adding another baby.  I see acceptance, peace, and anticipation in my eyes.

And the funny thing is, with Twig3 I have had the hardest time accepting the changes going on with my body.  I think part of it is being pregnant in the winter time and not being able to be as active.  But, when Husband took this picture and I got a glimpse of it…I. felt. better.  I see a confidence and a "I've been here before" kind of nature about myself.  I also think I look a little more tired.  :)
