That if I show you pictures of my pregnant self, that you won’t use the words “about to pop” in your comment. I get that a lot, and I find it a bit disturbing. I usually respond with, “I hope not.”
Beatrix thinks this one is really funny. I guess I’m giving my, “I’m warning you,” face.
My real motivation for asking Jonny to take these photos of me at 36 weeks pregnant(!!!) was to show off the shawl I received as a gift last week. I’m in love with it. It’s such a perfect neutral shade, a beautiful pattern that I wouldn’t dare attempt myself, and it dresses up my brown velour maternity pants just a bit, right?
Anyway, there you have it.
Thank goodness I have Beatrix to help hold this big thing up.
Gorgeous…both you and the shawl (what a nice gift)! 🙂
That is an impressive bump indeed! My only child was born a month prematurely. I kept waiting, thinking the last month was going to be the time for me to really show, and that I could get some impressive pictures then. But alas, she had other plans 🙂 I have only one photo that shows my pregnant belly.
You are beautiful! What a wonderful shawl.
That shawl completely complements your pregnancy! You truly look beautiful. xoxo
I didn’t know you were expecting again. How did I miss that? Congratulations!!! Be well. LOVE that Shawl.
Ginny,
What a wonderful gift, that shawl.
I love pregnant bellies, they are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing pictures. I love how sweetly Beatrix is touching your belly, precious.
Love,
Taryn
You look beautiful! The photo of Beatrix looking up at you holding your baby belly is precious.
You look awesome!!
You are beautiful inside and out! I too hated those “about to pop” comments. Especially when I was only 6 months along. I’m a human with a new life inside me, not a huge balloon! God bless you as you prepare for your newest little one and praying for a safe and healthy delivery!
honestly, it’s the most beautiful pregnant belly I have ever seen. I wish I had mine like that. I would have been so proud!
You look AMAZING mama. Seriously, you look fantastic. What a gorgeous shawl too, the colour is beautiful.
You look like you’re about to…..have a baby! How very sweet of B to assist you. Enjoy your down time and the weather we’ve been having! Rest, rest, rest.
You look stunningly beautiful! I did not look so slim at 36 weeks. I will say, that boy looks pretty low for 36 weeks. No wonder you’re having trouble walking. And Beatrix looks like she’s gotten over her disappointment that baby will not be a girl! And finally – gosh, she looks so big! I didn’t realize I’d been away from your blog for so long, but she’s lookin like a little girl and not a toddler anymore!
Love this! You, your baby belly, Beatrix, shawl, just everything! So much beauty in those photos 🙂
Aw, such beautiful photos! You look wonderful and your little helper is super gorgeous! xxx
Pregnancy is such a special time. You look wonderful just as you should.
The shawl is beautiful too, such a lovely gift.
You look fabulous and the shawl is a very special, beautiful gift 🙂
Adorable!
What lovely photos……a beautiful time in your life. Thank you for sharing this pregnancy with all of us. It has been so special. Blessings to you and your family. Easy labour also!
Oh…! I loved being pregnant! Enjoy the time as it will soon be a fond memory and you will soon be holding another precious wee one in your arms. Pregnancy becomes you Ginny, you look lovely with your new shawl.
Autumn is such a nice time to have a baby…of course so is Spring, Summer and Winter too!
Love the shawl and love the pregnant belly!! I think you and I must be due right around the same time – I’m due 10/29, but it feels like it may be any time in the next couple of weeks. I’m sure you’re feeling just about the same!! Blessings and prayers for a smooth delivery!
You are glowing! You look so happy and wonderful. I love reading about your family. Your blog makes me smile.
Best wishes for a smooth delivery. There will always be people with negative, hurtful comments. They’re just jealous! You have it all.:)
You are beautiful,pregnant belly is also awesome!!!!
Wow that shawl is beautiful….and so are you. Lovely pics. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are such a lovely pregnant woman! Cherished photos, for sure.
I think you look fabulous! Way to rock the shawl.
You look beautiful! 🙂 Thank you for sharing
You look beautiful…just beautiful. Your shawl looks lovely as well, but I like the baby belly better. I pray that your labor and delivery will go well and I can’t wait to see your newest miracle. Blessings Ginny!
Absolutely beautiful!!!!
You look beautiful and glow like a healthy pregnant woman should. I love your look out on life and following you and your wonderful husband and sweet children . I wish you health and easy labour . Blessings
You look so pretty! As we would say in the south, you’re not “swolled up ” at all! That shawl is lovely but not as lovely as you! You do look pregnant though. Good thing there’s a baby in there! Love & luck to you all!
I love your blog, love seeing pics of the kids and your amazing photography! Shame on the woman who was so cruel with her comments. Its wonderful that you are having a baby and you look great. Take good care of your self and just enjoy your husband, children, and how special you are! Time goes so-o-o fast, CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE BABY-LOL
oh ginny — you don’t look like you are about to….’know…. you look absolutely perfect. you look so beautiful and so healthy and so maternal and so wonderful. i can’t wait to meet your new baby. you and your family remain in my prayers! love, donna
DOH! You just said it was a gift. Sorry – I just assumed you knitted it 🙂
Thanks for sharing your pregnant self with us! You and the baby and beautiful! 🙂
I love your expression in photo #2 – it’s like “I dare you to say what I just told you not to say…” haha. Hoping everything goes well for you in the coming months – and great work on that shawl, it’s gorgeous.
You look so beautiful. It’s no fair, you don’t look PG anywhere but in that belly of yours! Can’t wait to hear about the birth and see baby pics. 🙂
Becca
You have a wonderful pregnant glow. I’m also going to ask if you’re sure you only have ONE in there.
My great niece had a baby boy last week. The dr. told them after the ultra sound that they were having a girl. Gracie turned out to be Jase!!! Guess he was hiding a little something on the ultrasound!!
Can’t wait to see your bundle of joy.
June
And such a wonderful sister Beatrice will be!!!!! You’re both beautiful!
You look fantastic! Amazing.
beautiful!!!
Ginny, you look beautiful!!!
You look gorgeous! I love pregnant mamas! Baby fever big time here… 😉
simply beautiful
Your pregnant self it’s sooo beautiful, you are very lucky for the family you have. Congrats!
You look absolutely beautiful. The shawl is lovely, too. God bless and prayers for a uneventful remaining pregnancy.
Ok, I might’ve thought something that starts with “p” but after I read what you asked of us, I decided to ask you if you’re SURE you’ve got only one in there!?
Congratulations!!! You look beautiful!!! I am going to put my guess in now that you are having a girl!!! It looks like you are alllllll baby. You look amazing!!! I will be praying for you, your family and the safe arrival your precious gift from God!!! Blessing!!
Wow – being great with child just suits you so well! The “holding up” up picture reminds me of how my son developed a habit of sneaking his hand under and up my shirt to rub my belly when I was at that stage of pregnancy. Then after the baby was born he kept doing it, going for my postpartum spare tire for comfort, I suppose. I was always amused by it. (and somewhat forgot about it until I saw your photo)
You are so beautiful! Such sweet pictures, and your gifted shawl is lovely!
