You've got the Cutest Little Labor Face
I decided to take part in a photo tag. Stefanie started it over at Adventures in Babywearing. Check out her new profile picture... she looks like a model for goodness sakes!
So all those who take part are supposed to post a 'belly shot' from when they were expecting. I've posted this picture before but here it is again... in all it's un-retouched glory.
Not only is this a photo of me pregnant but I also happened to be in labor and only about five hours away from giving birth. I like to call my expression my 'labor face'. You can see I have the exact same expression earlier in the day both here
and here 
during an outdoor church service and potluck lunch which followed. It could also be called the 'Holy Crap I'm about to become a mother!' face.
Miss A was born naturally at 3:14 AM at 8lbs 7ozs. I still can't believe that was nearly two years ago. And when I think back to how she was in those early days - stubborn and sometimes angry at the world, I realize that not much has changed. For some strange reason I find that kind of comforting.

So funny -- esp your expression in the first photo! Were you REALLY in labor??? :)
I certainly was. Like I said, about 5 hours away from giving birth.
Time flies doesn't it? I love the 'labor face'!
I love it! I think I know that face!!! Wow- in just 5 hours you were holding your sweet baby... I do miss that feeling *sometimes* ... thanks for playing along!!

Oh, that's awesome! Just hours from giving birth... such a scary and exciting feeling.
Great pictures!
Hahahaha! A "labor face"..... is that anything like your "game face"?
Sadly I don't HAVE any belly pictures
that I can find without an hours long search.
LOL I thought maybe it was a "get outta my face with the camera" face. :)
I remember that morning, and that face. Wasn't I in your face with a camera too!?
Love the belly pics!
Oh, and I forgot you had short hair! I like it.
Great pictures! I was never brave enough to show my bare belly :-)
Your title captured my interest right away. I'm guessing you have a great sense of humor. The face is funny! You look great to be in labor only 5 hours away from delivery!
I so regret not taking more pregnancy pics, they are fun to look back at.
Thanks for sharing yours!
