I LOVED looking through all these beautiful bellies and I hope you do too!

Here’s Joy at 36 weeks with Baby #3.

Here’s that lovely bump again getting a smooch from Big Sister Sage (5) and Big Brother Thomas (3).

Here’s a cute bump from Mama Ashlee’s perspective…what a great shot! Love the belly freckles too!

Meet Kendra and her family of FIVE! That baby is getting some hands-on lovin’ from the whole family. 🙂

Here’s what Mama Jolene shared about this next photo: “Here I am w miracle number 3 at 27 weeks 3 days. I had severe Pre-eclampsia and signs of HELLP syndrome early on. At 23 weeks 1 day they insisted I deliver. As you see here I refused and kept my healthy happy baby growing inside to 36 weeks. I surprised and confused every Dr who heard of my case. I also had Gestational Diabetes and started insulin this very day. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl at 36 weeks weighing 7lbs 8oz and 19 inches long. She’s now a happy 7 month old Princess weighing in at 16lbs 2oz and 25.2 inches long.  We bet all the odds!” What a fantastic story Jolene…thanks for sharing!

This is Mama Copper’s Christmas photo from last year…too cute!! She said being pregnant was a magical time in her life that she really loved. Yep, you definitely look like you embraced your beautiful bump!

Here is Felicia’s favorite belly shot with baby getting some TLC from big sister!

Here are Holden’s (great name by the way!) parents when his mama was 8 months pregnant with him. I adore this family photo. <3

Here is Melissa only TWO days before she had baby Peyton who is now 10 weeks old. Congrats Melissa and weclome baby Peyton!

See that tan hand on this mama’s belly…that is MY hand. This was the very first time I felt my little nephew kick. Such a sweet memory and so glad my little sister took this photo.

And another from later that same day…I love this picture for so many reasons! My sisters, my newphew in utero, and baby Izzy in the sling kind of mimicking a little baby bump…all good stuff! 🙂

Here is a photo Diana took of herself at 40 weeks pregnant with baby #1. Little did she know she would be pregnant for TWO more weeks before her daughter made her appearance.

And I guess I will share one from each of my pregnancies….I admit I kind of miss being pregnant….

35 weeks with baby #1

28 weeks with baby #2. My hubby took this one at home while we were just goofing around with the camera.

28 weeks with baby #3. I was at a concert and taking a break to stretch from all the dancing!

A BIG thank you to everyone for sharing your baby bump photos with us! This week’s winner of 25 Milk Miles is…Kendra! Congrats Kendra. 🙂

Ready for next week’s Fan Photo Friday assignment? I was drawing a blank for a topic so I asked my 5 year old what readers should send me photos of. He suggested a “horse”. So using his suggestion as inspiration, next week’s Fan Photo Friday is Furbabies! After all our furbabies are important family members and often times are the first “babies” we care for. Please send a favorite photo of your furbaby to sarah@momsmilkboutique.com by midnight CST on Thursday, July 26. Please include any information you would like included with the photo such as pet’s name and signifigance of photo. I am curious what unique kinds of pets some of you might have…any snakes or ferrets among us? We shall see on Friday, July 27!
