I always said I would NEVER post bare belly photos - so have no fear, there are NO bare belly ones. But after all was said and done I did want to show the progression of the belly.

See? No bare bellies anywhere! I actually think I look about the same size in the last few pictures - I definitely never reached the "popping" point. My belly button got stretched out but stayed an "innie" the whole time.
Overall I really enjoyed the pregnancy. The first trimester was nerve-wracking and stomach churning. I lost 7 lbs during the first few weeks! The second trimester was a blast - I finally LOOKED pregnant and felt great. I only had a few weeks in the third trimester which weren't too uncomfortable. The most significant thing was that I developed pre-eclampsia during the last week or so. This meant that I was on bedrest for 2 days until they determined it was too dangerous to continue the pregnancy and Hannah needed to come out early. The last 2 days of the pregnancy were scary enough to balance out the rest of the "easy" parts.
