Michelle Moore requested a picture so here I am at 4 months. I took the picture this morning before work on my cell phone. I’m kind of twisted trying to take the picture and show the belly side-on. I think you can see the bottom of my bra in this shot – boom chicka boom!
Baby Connell is the size of an avocado, Mama Connell has a rash on her belly, Papa Connell doesn’t want you to know that he watches Project Runway so keep it under your hats, the artist formerly known as andrea_collins is now andrea_grogan, and Eric is on his way to Newfoundland to charm the pants off everyone in Buchans!
The pregnancy week-by-week book I’ve been reading has “Dad Tips” included in each chapter and they are all as brutal as you think they are. Here is a sample:
- When you’re away from your partner call to check in. Well duh. Owen works nights 3 days a week and I work 9ish – 5 everyday so the majority of our communication is done over the phone. Next!
- Vacuum without being asked. Ha! Owen wouldn’t notice if the dust bunnies crawled into bed with him let alone vacuum without me throwing a tantrum. Onward!
- Rub your partners feet. They may be on to something with this one but after 8+ hours in trouser socks and shoes I don’t want to get near my own feet let alone subject Owen to them!
- When you’re away from your partner without access to a phone, have someone call and check up on her. Right. Any volunteers?
- Give your partner hugs & kisses for no reason. Oh for the love of Pete, if you need a reason to give your partner hugs & kisses, perhaps parenthood isn’t the path you should be on.
I have a obstetrician appointment this coming Monday and I’m hoping that Dr. H. will give me nothing but good news; that I’m fine, the baby’s fine and that the lower back pain I’m experiencing is only because of the way I sit at work – one leg tucked under the other one and completely slouched down in my chair.

I love that you are sharing so much of this pregnancy with us! I can't wait to see your belly at 8 and 3/4 months. Did you ever think of having a professional take pics of you while you are pregnant. Sheena did that when she was pregnant with her youngest son, Noah and they turned out awesome. She had only a white sheet and the setting was a beautiful rocky/forest type place on the outskirts of Gan. I'm going to see if she has one saved on her computer. If she does I'll send it your way so you can see the beauty of the shot.
Hi Jenn, a little late to be checking in....at work. I wanted to say that your belly picture is cute, and that I hate you. I am only 13 1/2 weeks and already my belly is twice the size of yours!!! So no photos of mine to be taken. Take care.
