I've had a request recently, actually two, from my blog readers. These two women, who shall remain nameless (but if you want to see who they are, just look at the comments from my last post), want me to post an up-to-date picture of my very large, pregnant self.
Where do I begin explaining how much I'm not going to do that because I don't want to. The funny thing is, one of those people sees me at least once a week, so already knows what I look like. The other has seen me pregnant before and I don't think I look that much different this time than when I was pregnant with Eli. (except, my bum is a bit bigger this time) :~)
Here's where the hypocrisy comes in: I just found out that a really dear friend of mine is pregnant, for the first time. She doesn't live in Utah any more, therefore, I probably won't see her any time soon. Since this is her first pregnancy and since she's a tiny little Filipino girl, I hope she puts a picture of herself on her blog when she's close to being due. I would love to see how far out her belly goes, since that's the only place for the little one to go.
Is that being hypocritical? Probably. Is that going to change the fact that I'm not going to post a preggie pic of me? HECK NO!
In conclusion, I'm sorry to all those who want to see what I look like in my spherical state. It's just not going to happen. Thank you and have a nice day!

maybe I'll come play paparazzi one day and hide in the bushes with my camera and sneak a shot of you and your belly then post it. That way those who want to see it can, and you get to feel like Angelina Jolie or something!
Maybe you could just take a head shot of yourself, post it, and say it's a picture of you pregnant. This way you won't feel like a hypocrite.
There's a loophole to everything!
Even if you don't post a picture I hope you've taken a couple, always fun to look back :) Plus your kids will get a kick out of it when they are older.
Pharisee!
Becca, becca becca! Maybe we'll just have to bribe you to do it? How do chocolate chip cookies sound? sugar cookies? peanut butter? oatmeal raisin? snickerdoole? brownie fudge cookies? Come on, be a sport! :)
