Jer and I attempted to take some professional-ish looking pictures of me last night. I wanted at least one halfway decent pregnancy picture and I think we got a couple that are pretty good. We obviously know nothing about taking pictures, so we didn't do use any fancy techniques besides the black and white setting, but they're still pretty nice pictures.
My favorite:
In one of Jer's dress shirts w/ an exposed belly:
Yes I am aware that I have a slightly misshapen belly, it just ain't gonna pop out:
The way overused picture that everyone does, but it's easy to do so we did it:
There were a few others, but they're pretty similar... And dang did my arms get chubby(er). Guess that happens when you stop doing any sort of arm exercises for several months!
We may try a few other things this weekend. We started to get burnt out after awhile last night so we quit.  We want some nice outdoor pictures, so hopefully a few trees will really start to change before I pop and we can use those as props. If not, no biggie, we'll just get pictures of the baby with the trees!

You are so beautiful pregnant. I think these are the first preggy pics I have seen of you! How are you feeling? Do you think baby is coming early or over due??? Any names picked out?? And what about the nursery??

Gotta love the flat spot!  I'm constantly getting comments on it at work... They're totally amazed that it never rounded out or whatever. Just let it go people! 
Angela, I have a bunch of belly pics up in the WTTC Grads belly photo subforum, but most of those I took of myself in the mirror. Nothing fancy.
As for when the baby will come... I think sometime between 38-39 weeks, so in the next week. I don't know why I think that, I haven't really had any signs, it's just what I have in my head. I guess we'll see!
The name is picked out, you'll all get to hear it soon. And yes, we have a boy name picked out too - just in case.
The nursery is done! I love how it turned out. I still need to snap a few more "after" photos and then I'll share the album with you all.

My belly has a kind of flat spot on it too, but my flat spot is also like 10 shades whiter than the other skin on my belly. It looks so weird, and oh yeah the stretch marks have arrived as well! I think that pregnant bellies are always beautiful in spite of being so weird looking sometimes! What impressed me about yours is that your belly button isn't even close to popping out, it still looks normal.
Great pics. I especially love the first one, you look very maternal!
