Three Ways to Make Me Want a Baby

1. Have a baby within 50 feet of me.

2. Go shopping (browsing) in Macy's baby section.  Can you say ca-ute?

3. See a perfect baby belly.

The kids and I went over to cousin Leah's  yesterday.

She asked if I could come and take pictures of her flawless baby belly (my words, not hers) and I said yes.  I tend to do that when anyone asks me to do anything. 

I told her I had never taken pregnancy pictures before and she just shrugged and said, "You cant do any worse then my husband."

Ha!  Love it.

She has about two weeks left… I am SO excited!!

Is that not the most perfect baby bump you have ever seen??  She should be on the cover of magazines!

So yeah.

Its pretty safe to say I have baby fever… but thankfully, Leah will be having her baby soon, so I will get to hold a precious newborn!

Do you think that will help my baby fever or make it worse? ;)

    It will most definitely make the baby fever worse! :) Beautiful pictures – you are talented in so many ways, my dear!

  2. I get serious baby fever when I hold a newborn. And then a sleepless night gets me over it. Although one day I think I’ll be up for #4…

  3. Renee says:

    I’ve got the fever as well…to bad I can’t afford another :( Good job on the photos Amanda :) Nice baby belly Leah. May you have a speedy painless delivery!

  4. Bethany says:

    I’m jealous. Not a single, itty, bitty stretch mark. That’s just not fair. Nor is the fact that her belly button is still cute! Wowsers. You did a great job on the photos.
    On an entirely different note, I miss seeing your posts. :) Good to hear from you again.

    Worse…it will make your fecer worse :o )
    Some people are so brave to take pictures like that, I just cannot. Cannot. I can’t stand looking at them (not of others, of myself).

    ha i just posted not long ago about baby fever. I had it bad after I took some pictures of a baby from our church. Well.. she was already three months old but she still gave me some baby fever. http://libby-bonjour.blogspot.com/2010/02/photobucket_16.html
    great job on the pictures! love belly’s {pregnant belly’s I mean} too!

    And by “fecer” I mean “fever”~~~ Oops

  8. Jessica says:

    The cute baby clothes make me want a baby sooooo badly!

  9. Amanda says:

    It made mine MUCH MUCH worse. But now I just have to wait another 7 1/2 months. We took the plunge and are having number 5!!!

  10. Kate says:

    She certainly does have a perfect baby belly! Oh I miss being pregnant!!
    I think it will make your baby fever worse ;-)

  11. BigMamaCass says:

    Oh my goodness that IS the perfect belly!! My pregnant belly would have scared small children. LOL

  12. Kristin says:

    Holding a newborn? That will surely make it worse! :-)

  13. janis says:

    It will make it worse – I was just starting to feel and then a friend had a baby in Jan – now it’s in full force!!! lol

  14. tracie says:

    Great pics…nothing more beautiful than a mother to be.
    I wish I had another child. I really wish we had had one when our kids entered their teens…then I wouldn’t be facing this whole empty nest thing soon. It stinks.

  15. Kari says:

    Um… I”m sure it will make it worse!!! Unless, of course, you spend a lot of time over there at night and remember all the sleepless nights!
    Great job on the pictures… and…wow.. I wish I looked that good at the end of my pregnancies. :)
    Blessings to you,
    Kari

  16. Well, it might make it worse. But just think about how she has to stay up all nigh with that cute crying baby and you get to go home, get all snug in your covers, and sleep soundly through the night.
    More things to ponder when coming down with a baby fever:
    *sore nipples
    *leaky nipples
    *8-10 diapers a day
    *ginormous maxi pads for at least 2 weeks
    *hemorroids (not that I got them)
    *wearing maternity clothes till your baby can talk (not that I did)
    *spit up
    *the way spit up smells
    Did that help?

    Worse, definitely worse.

  18. Londa says:

    Wow…had a touch of baby fever until I read The Lumberjack’s Wife comment! That’s too funny…and scary! My sister has a newborn foster baby that is absolutely beautiful–getting a good baby fix but definitely makes me wonder about a #4! Well, we’d have to say #4/5 — we have 50% chance of having twins again! Guess I’m content again!

  19. Josanna says:

    Um, yea, I’m thinking that it might make it worse. At least, that’s what it would do to me. :)
    For me, tiny little baby dishes and clothes do the same thing…

  20. Grapefruit says:

    That really IS a flawless baby belly!
    Gorgeous photos, Amanda!
    Is anyone venturing guesses as to what she’s having? I think it’s a boy.

  21. ali says:

    There is nothing wrong with baby fever, just sayin’…

  22. mindy says:

    I am convinced that we were cooked in the same batch. All three are checked on my list, and Old Navy and Target are tow more places that make my uterus hurt. I like the fever, my hubbs.. not so much. ;)

  23. Katie says:

    I’m too close to that recent trauma. Seeing a baby belly makes me cringe. Ugh! How uncomfortable she must be! She looks great though!

  24. Make it worse… For Sure!!!

  25. Beautiful photos!
    And I am sorry to say but it is going to be worse…I have baby fever just realizing that my own is no longer a baby! :)
    Blessings, Kristin

  26. ClassiclyAmber says:

    Aaaaw~! What a cute baby belly! So are you gonna take the baby’s pictures, too [and post them]?? Oh my! I would love it. And I don’t care what The Lumberjack’s Wife says. Hehee. Those rough times only last a short season – but there is no greater blessing than a brand new sweet lil’ bebe!!
    Yep, I’m well on my way to full blown baby fever. =-)
    And you are, too, my friend!! =-D Let’s bask in it!

  27. Luciana says:

    I think baby fever it’s going to be worst, two friends are pregnant and I’m even more anxious than they are. I can’t help it!
    Thank God I’m getting married this year, so I can start dreaming about my own baby =)
    Beatiful pictures Amanda!!!

  28. Melanie says:

    Great job on the pics:) IF I have another, I will take some maternity pics…to celebrate the last!

  29. Cop Mama says:

    Are you kidding? A newborn is going to make it way worse! I know, I’m at that bubble right now trying to decide if we are done or not…leaning more toward the done!

  30. Michelle says:

    Made it worse. It always makes it worse for me. Then I cry a lot and get over it. Then look at Gary, then John, then I thank God He knows how much I can handle!

  31. christy rose says:

    Wow! What a beautiful baby belly!!! I think it will make it worse. :)

  32. Christy says:

    Beautiful belly! I had belly shots taken with Emma and my dear friend took out ALL the stretch marks, I can’t imagine the hours THAT took! LOL
    Oh and obviously everytime I get baby fever, I get pregnant (as long as hubby’s home and not deployed)…I seem to get it HARD when they hit about 2!

  33. Margaret says:

    I hope it makes it better…There’s only one of you, you know. :D
    ~M

  34. Lindsay says:

    Um, worse. Definitely worse! Trust me. I’ve been holding my OWN every day for the last 7 months and I still want another…they say you “know” when you’re DONE. Well I haven’t gotten the “done” memo yet, and obviously neither have you. Now go. Rub hubbies back. Now! :-)

  35. BJ_Mama says:

    GORGEOUS BELLY SHOTS! Don’t kid yourself though, it will definately make that fever worse! ;)

  36. Gina says:

    Worse! I’m visiting from My Cup 2 Yours

  37. Julia says:

    i’ve been having baby fever too!!! ;)

  38. Nanette says:

    I think it worked… just took about three months! Congrats on your new edition, btw. Funny how baby fever crept up on you!

  39. Wanita says:

    Good point. I hadn’t tgohuht about it quite that way. :)
