1) Post a pic of yourself pre-pregnancy (if you have one). Tell us about it.
Both photos are from H and I's wedding in Hawaii in 2013. Actually didn't have many other shots since then that are full body!
2) What did you do (activities, events, hobbies, etc) pre-pregnancy that you don’t do now due to pregnancy?
H and I are big craft beer enthusiasts so that's a big one that I miss. The other big one is physical activity. I still try to stay active now, but I was quite a lot more active before. Things I do less of now: The big one is Muay Thai (errant kicks to the stomach and all..), long-distance cycling, bouldering.
3) Anything you’ve discovered about yourself during the pregnancy?
- Not drinking beer is not as difficult as I thought it would be.
- I'm self-conscious about my body. I still find that I try to hide under loose shirts at work and feel awkward when people look at my expanding belly. I know that this is a special experience and that I should be proud... but I guess I just haven't embraced my body changing as fully as I would like to!
- I'm looking forward to experiencing the process of childbirth! Strange eh? It's due to reading about Hypnobirthing and relaxation techniques, and I feel empowered with what my body can do! 4) What is something you cannot wait to do after you have the baby?
- Have a full pint of beer! - Get back into the climbing gym! - Experience life as a family of three!
Oh and for kicks, this is what I look like now on a recent HDBD:

Three pictures! One from Cuba, one from Vegas and one from Mexico!
2) What did you do (activities, events, hobbies, etc) pre-pregnancy that you don’t do now due to pregnancy? The first three years of marriage, me and my DH did A LOT of travelling! I miss picking up and leaving whenever we like, but now due to baby on the way, we bought a house and are saving money for our little babe!
3) Anything you’ve discovered about yourself during the pregnancy? Oh how priorities change when pregnant! I have discovered how amazing the woman's body can change. It is so cool and even though I'm huge, I love it.
4) What is something you cannot wait to do after you have the baby? Go on family vacations!! How fun!

@igsdesigner last year I was in a private Facebook group for Insanity. Daily posts of encouragement or bitchin is what kept me going to the end! I would love to be able to do something similar here afterwards(for whoever is interested).
robotpcr-- you are like a real like Princess Merida!
freddyisready- that is not at all what I thought you looked like. I am in shock! I guess I just aleas pictured Liv Tyler behind the keyboard, haha
Lol. Now that we aren't on TB, I'd like to change my avatar, but I know its so confusing to people when that happens, lol. I feel like we have a bit more privacy here, and that people I know irl won't find me.
1) Post a pic of yourself pre-pregnancy (if you have one). Tell us about it.
Both of these pics are from weddings from this summer.
2) What did you do (activities, events, hobbies, etc) pre-pregnancy that you don’t do now due to pregnancy? Nothing too much has changed. I work out a HELL of a lot less (read: I used to work out)... That's probably the only thing that's really changed... Other than drinking too of course.
3) Anything you’ve discovered about yourself during the pregnancy?
I can have fun at functions and gatherings without drinking! That was honestly one of my biggest worries pre-pregnancy was that I was going to be dull at parties while everyone else was drunk and fun. I never got drunk pre-pregnancy, but just having a drink or 2 would loosen and open me up a bit. But I've found out that I can still have just as much fun completely sober!
4) What is something you cannot wait to do after you have the baby?
Drink. Have sex in any position I want and have it comfortably!!! And lose weight. I've been fine embracing my bump, but now I'm starting to gain weight elsewhere and it's making me self conscious... I'm told I don't look pregnant anywhere else but my bump, but I think it's just bc I know my body l and I can see all the other changes.
1-On our honeymoon in Mykonos Greece. Got pregnant 2 months later with DD
2-After DD, before finding out I was preg with DS. I was maid of honor at my SIL's wedding
3-The end of this summer when I must have just gotten pregnant
ETA: I have been trying to upload pics for days but it hasn't worked. I downloaded the app so I figured I might as well try again. Still not sure if it worked!
