If you have ever taken a pregnancy picture of yourself to post on your blog, then you just might know a little bit about the elusive pregnancy pic. It's very fickle, folks. I'm just glad that I am pregnant in the days of digital. My baby bump might not have ever seen the likes of the blog world if we still had film cameras doing all of the heavy lifting.
Anyhoooooooo, I thought you might like to see all of the pics that we took trying to find a decent one that I wouldn't mind posting. This might defeat the purpose of the 10 minute photo session I put Noah through. But what can I say? I'm a chump for making you laugh. So, laugh away.
The cheekbones almost saved this one. They almost redeemed the bad lighting on my other cheeks.
Seriously, I'm serious. Seriously. Maybe those veins on my right hand need a stern look to get them to stop protruding.
Back to the other side. This is actually the same smile that I used in my fifth grade school pictures. It's just a classic. It also works in nervous situations.
It looks like I am saying, "Who me? Sure. I guess you could take my picture. Well, gosh, I'm just a Mom. Shucks, thanks for the picture."
Is it too much trouble to just get one decent picture???? Just one. Pu-lease, picture powers of the heavens, just grant me a decent picture.
Fine. We're in a pinch. This will do. It's the best we got.
Current Weight: Ha! You thought I might tell. Oh, no no no.
Breathing Ability: Slowly declining. I currently get winded after two bowls of cereal.
Fears: That the hips have spread and flattened my rear, thus giving me "Mom Butt." Consequently making me the perfect candidate for Mom Jeans (Don't forget to push play).
Wyatt's Name Choice: Baby
Calvin's Name Choice: Calvin. **Side Note** He has changed his name to Donkey Kong and sees no need for his given birth name. He has generously decided to donate it to the new baby.
Noah's Name Choice: Still likes Linus and Cy.
My Name Choice: I'm holding strong to Lucas Cruze Shafer.
Energy Level: Still very high.
Current Cravings: None.
Items Needed to Complete the Nursery: None, seeing as there is no nursery room, and that this is the third boy born in the same season as the other two. This poor child will probably not own a single thing that hasn't already belonged to someone else.
Hiccup Alert: He seems to get them every few days around 10:30 p.m.

Have I ever told you how much I love your blog? I get giddy every time I see a new post because I know I'm in for a laugh at the latest Ms. Shafer's line of whittyness. This one takes the cake! My new desire in life is to become as clever and funny Katie Shafer. *notice I said desire- that means reality kicked in real fast and said "aint gonna happen-but what a good idea"
My MIL said she was told that if your baby has hiccups that means he will be a calm baby. My kids both got hiccups in the womb - and they were great babies.
Hey, we might be moving back out to your side of the country. I'll let you know the details when we find out later this week.
Awesome. I am so sad we live far away, I think our boys would be BFF. I don't know if it's funny or sad that I can relate to your posts so much. Love the mom jeans commercial!
Ah. Katie, you are so funny! May I give you a picture taking tip though? Have Noah stand up while taking your picture. It looks as though he was sitting down, and that is ALWAYS a bad angle for anyone. Your angle should always be from above. It helps get rid of any double chins(b/c you're looking upward, not down), it helps slim the body, etc. If he isn't much taller than you, have him maybe stand on a small crate or something, so he can get a better angle. Are you coming to Knoxville anytime soon? I'll take some for you! I love pregnant pics!!
Cy - Wyatt, that could be a monthers nightmare with the way mom's old mix up their kids names. You would call Wyatt Cy and Cy Wyatt and then call them both Cyatt!
You are hilarious! I like Lucas. That's great. :)
Oh you are so funny! Gotta love the "mom jeans"...ok they are hideous, but it makes me laugh! Just as long as you don't have to buy the "Ooops, I just crapped my pants!"...I think you'll be ok!
Gosh, I love that video.
I have to say, I like lucas the best. "Katies" Have better taste. Sorry, Noah.
You are HOT!!
Will you call him Luke? Or Lucas? I like it. It reminds me of the 80's movie...called Lucas. I wonder why. I've seen that movie 50 billion times.
love you!
Katie, you have the only blog that I actually LAUGH OUT LOUD almost everytime I real it - you really should write a book! I would buy it :) You look fabulous (and I love the name choice - adorable!)
I love the million plus one pictures you took. Looks about like my photo gallery, except you had a more patient photographer. Ha! You look great. I like Lucas too.
Oh my heck...you crack me up...move back...we've got to hang out more often...seriously, I am still cracking up.
Donkey Kong...ah man, LG has always wanted a son named Donkey Kong.
If I had any elimination power...Linus is out...seriously?
Lucas is beautiful...go with it. Classic yet still yuppyish....and it goes perfect with the other boys' names.
And, you look great...but are sure you aren't having twins...and that was a joke..it's my favorite thing to say that to pregnant women...esp when they have a cute prego belly and don't just get wider like me when I am pregnant.
You are one hot mama (cubed)!
Look at you and your cute baby bump! You look fabulous!!! You are one of those lucky pregos who look like they are hiding a basketball under their shirt! Sooo cute!!! I love the long hair! It has grown a ton since I last saw you! And HELLO... you live in NYC... what better movie locations then that? =)
