I do my best to look like a cute pregnant lady, and I think I am doing an okay job when I look in the mirror. Yet it never fails that when I look at myself in pictures I can't help feeling like I am not doing a good job. It maybe because I have gained about 12 pounds, which does not seem like very much but if it is true that the camera puts on 10 pounds that makes me look like I've gained 22 pounds. Now maybe I am holding on to that false mirror image of myself but I would really like to believe that I am not as big as I look in pictures. Even thought I know that I am pregnant and I am suppose to look big it has taken me a while to take a picture that I at least feel somewhat okay in. So I am sorry it took me so long to post a picture, but what can I say...I am vain, and I am working to overcome it.
Well, we're here in San Diego and the weather is fantastic! Julie is busy riding herd on our growing herd and Pat is plugging away at his Urology residency at the Naval Medical Center. San Diego is a blast and the weather doesn't get any better, so drop what you're doing and come on out for a visit! Not only can we offer a place to stay but we promise that you'll have a great time.

Your So Vain... You Probably Thing This Song is About You
I never thought of myself as a vain person. Even when in high school my sisters sang the "your so vain" song to me. I have recently come to the realization that I am vain. When I started receiving requests to see pictures showing my belly. I thought it would be no big deal. I love to look at my belly in the mirror, and to feel little Andy move around and I want to share that with my family and friends.

I think you are a beautiful expectant mother. Wait until you are in your fifties then look back at yourself and you will realize how great you look.
Love you,
MOM
You look wonderful. Glad you posted some pics.
you are not vain. i was DYING to see you! you acutally look smaller than i thought based on how far along as you are. a very cute baby bump and you look sooooooo lovely!
Isn't that so like us ladies? We whine the whole first half of the pregnancy about wanting to "look pregnant, darn it! Is that so much to ask?!" Then as soon as we do, it turns to, "Oh, I look so...so...pregnant!!" :) You are an adorable mommy-to-be, and the only thing that would make you cuter is if you were HERE in person. Can't wait!
I think you look absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see you again, babe. Love, Pat
Ahhh! He's a keeper Julie! You look great and we are SO excited to get you back out here...because I'm selfish. Let us know when you are coming back.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! JULIE! You're so gorgeous! I'm glad you shared these with all of us.
