Feminine Friday is sponsored by The Barefoot Mama.
First, I must take a few sentences to praise my very praiseworthy husband. Ara has been sick with a fever for two days now and I was up last night with her. She ended up sleeping sprawled across my chest which didn’t provide a whole lot of restful snoozing so I was fairly dreading wake up time 
. Little did I know that my husband was going to wake me up with Breakfast in Bed for no other reason than to see me smile. Sigh…I’ve been sighing and smiling a lot this morning and surprisingly don’t feel a bit tired!
Second, Feminine Friday. Kelly from the Barefoot Mama requests pregnancy pictures so here we go. An interesting journey to say the least.
Warning- a few pics show a bare belly. Which looking back I am not crazy about but they are the only pics I took at that stage.
I think pic above was at 8 months pregnant.
Picture below is my only good pregnancy pic (I was on bed rest and/or catheterized for most of my pregnancy so I really didn’t take many pictures.) Some one pointed out later that a certain finger is sticking down and it looks bad. I had no clue! I was just holding my bottle that way. Goodness I am full of horrible pics to show you today!
Aralyn Elizabeth makes her appearance:
The most beautiful baby I ever laid eyes on.
Oh my! I just love the pictures. Especially of the one of you looking at your girl. How precious! Bare belly shots, in my opinion, are the only way to get a clear picture of how big the belly really is! LOL. So no worries there.
Hopping over from Kelly’s…
She is just gorgeous! And I love her name!!
JEN!
Seriously, could you be any more adorable?! You are the ultimate preggo! I love your big smile and the belly shots! I have a bunch of bare-bellied ones, too…Brynna can attest, she’s seen them all, LOL!
Aralyn is a gorgeous doll of a gal.
