Belly Shots

Zack has been talking for months and months about how we need some pictures of my enormous belly. So one night I told him if he wanted pictures, he just needed to get out the camera sometime and start shooting. He took me at my word and these are the results. Not exactly the most flattering pictures I've ever taken, but what can you do...
This shot is poking fun at every professional photographer whose pregnancy pictures I've seen online. Apparently, if you go to a professional, you must make a heart on your belly with your hands, so we did our own version...

Then Zack started having fun. He was working with a rather reluctant model, so all things considered he did pretty well... notice that the shirt (which is a maternity shirt) barely covers the belly... I am constantly pulling at shirts to keep the bump all the way covered...

The happy father self pic...

And this one captures kind of the opposite of what I see when I look down...

Zack says he wants to do another photo shoot, but so far the camera has not come out again, so I thought I'd post what we have for those of you who are curious.

What We're Reading

Zack is on deployment and mostly devotes his reading time to reading the news.

Anne: Recently Finished: Mockingjay I actually just read the whole Hunger Games series actually. I found it very difficult to put down. It reads quick, the characters are strong and interesting, and there's never a dull moment.
Currently Reading: Ratios The author calls this an anti-cook book at one point, meaning that it helps free cooks from the necessity of always having a recipe. It discusses how ratios make up all cooking in one way or another. It's a slower read, since it gets a bit into the technical stuff of cooking, but very interesting to consider.

Ela's current favorites: Sweet Pickles Shes discovered Zack's old collection and she loves any book about animals.

Princess Charity's Courageous Heart I was at the Christian Bookstore picking up my Bible study book, and she said she wanted a book. It's hard to argue with a child who's begging for a book, especially when one has a 40% off coupon, so this was the book she ended up with. It's actually very cute, with a good message.

The Berenstain Bears We have the whole collection from when Zack was little, and she loves them, though I'm not sure she really follows the finer points of the plot.

Lily's current favorite: Baby Faces Lily's into board books and babies, so there you go.
