These were taken today. Behold the cause of the vast majority of delays in my posting and creating art. I'm gonna work on getting my computer set up near my bed so I can draw without ruining what is left of my spine. :P If art were measured by the amount of personal torment required to create it, this would be my finest work.
Nobody told me that I would be able to see his skull, so instead of squishy adorable pre-baby pictures, I mostly got ghastly skeletal images(Happy Halloween?). I still think that they are cute, but I'm suffering a terrible hormonal bias. ;)
Let me know if this is too personal/irrelevant for my FA gallery, and I'll move it to scraps. I blocked out my full name, but I'm still not completely sure that it belongs on an art site like this.

Some of it is way scarier than my black and white skull-baby, that's for sure! XD Even still, I usually don't post photos of myself, or anything that's heavily related to my life away from the desk. I guess I mostly try to keep my submissions at least non-human. But I couldn't help sneaking this one on here! He wrecks my productivity, so I may as well get something post-able out of all these crazy appointments. ;)
Thank you! :D
Thank you! :D
more hospitals need to get a program that lets them add a beard or something on the monitor to all of the kids that they do an ultrasound for. that way they can lube up your belly and be like "ok lets take a look and ... HOLY SHIT! BY CELESTIA'S BEARD! YARRRRRRRRRG!" and then everyone will have a great laugh. but on a more serious note congrats. i think things will be awesome for you and the new addition ^_^
Total congrats, again! And I don't care what anyone says, this is adorable and I think deserve well a place in your gallery.
My little one's sonogram pics are precious. I don't think it's bias at all. Little ones in the womb are always cute. <3 (Sometimes the 4D pics are scary though. I never got any)

Thank you! ^^ I love all the pictures I've had so far, and I've had 4 ultrasounds total, so I suppose I'm lucky! I have 3 sets of images in my baby book already, and it's not even completely over yet. :P
The 3D/4D ultrasound images are so scary... They look like something out of a bad sci-fi movie! They're so expensive too. Many people have encouraged me to go have one of those ultrasounds done, but it just seems so pricey for something that looks so unusual. :U

I think they must be one of those things that only really mean something to the people involved. Some others seem to get a kick out of ultrasound pictures, but I don't think that they ever really meant much to me until I got pregnant.
I mean... they aren't really done for fun, either. First and foremost they are medical exams designed to help monitor development, and getting still images is kind of just a perk that you can request during the appointment for posterity.

Thank you! I think everything is going alright... I got a call from my OB a few hours after this exam and was told I needed to stay relaxed and not do anything physical. Then she booked an appointment on short notice to see me tomorrow. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong yet, but I think the umbilical is in a weird position and she wants to examine. If anything seems "odd" I'm supposed to go to the hospital. But she said that the baby himself looks just fine, and I seem to be doing fine, so hopefully things will sort themselves out and it'll all be okay. I guess I'll find out tomorrow! I really hope they don't keep me on bed rest or anything... >_>
You are most welcome! ^^
It is great to hear that everything is going alright so far and I do hope your exam goes well for you. I'm sure that you are so ready to hold your little boy in your arms and I know that it will be something you will never forget. I do wish the best for you these next few months and a lifetime of happiness with him. You really deserve it!

when is your due date if i might ask? mine is coming in feb this coming year. my doc was surprised how mush my little girl is running around inside and that i dont feel a single thing... and i watched the last u/s and just watched her flip, roll, kick and fight being bothered by the whole process and we were surprised i cant feel it. but whats ironic- come 11-11-11 ill be starting my 3rd trimester lol
Thank you! ^^
Aww that's very sweet of you, but totally unnecessary. I'd like to make a plushie for him myself, but I haven't had the time to do it. Maybe in the last few weeks where I'm just waiting in bed for something to happen! :P I plan on being really busy with commissions this month, so I doubt it will happen soon, but eventually~ There are only so many months left!

I'm not sure! I've always believed in personal choice, so I will have to keep an open mind when it comes to his choices later on. My brother is a fur, and I've personally always just been a fur-friendly artist. Though I really do love the community. I certainly wouldn't mind if he chose to go that path! ^^
Aw thank you! <3 As many comments as I get, I read and appreciate them all, and I apply to as many as I can. You're never one in a hundred. :)
Things are a bit complicated right now... we're waiting on some testing and then the results of that, but hopefully we will get good news. Fingers crossed~

Man, I'm one of those like... super skinny people. Because of my metabolism, I haven't really gained a whole lot of weight(only about 10 pounds in the past 7 months). So when the baby moves around, it is clearly visible, and it is so creepy. I'm starting to get used to it now, but the first thing I thought when I saw it was "OH GOD, CHESTBURSTER."
I have sworn not to watch those movies until AFTER I am not pregnant anymore, just for my own psychological comfort. Haha

Hahaha XD OMG yeah I'm a skinny bitch too (black effing hole)
My niece and I were watching this show "I didn't know I was pregnant" and i'm like BULLSHIT how can you not......ohhhhh
It showed these chicks that were like 93lbs and had a baby and had NO idea didn't show bellies nothing and I'm freaking out going
OMG what if I am!? and my niece was like "No, if you had pains it'd just be gas lmao"

The pain, man. Everyone talks about the pain of childbirth, but no one bothers to mention the solid 9-10 months of aches, pains, and discomforts that come even before that. AND THE PAIN OF NEGLECTED WORK. Oh jeez. I never thought I would miss being able to work for 20 hours without falling asleep or taking a bijillion food/pee breaks. I figured I would miss all the joys of being a stupid young punk, but nope. I just miss my productivity.
At the same time, it's so worth it~ <3

Oh yeah. Even though I love my little bug, she still takes up time even after she came out! Haha. I only get two hours to work on something before I have to stop to feed her. However, at the same time, I'm glad, because I need to take more breaks with my cronic wrist pains (oh the joyous pains of being both a mother and an artist).
I wish you all the luck! Just remember, pack your hospital bag one month before the due date, listen to your body during the birth, and never forget that if baby's cries ride your nerves, he's too young to be crying just to annoy you, so take a breath, walk away for a moment, and come back when you're head is clear. Oh, yeah, and never forget that some one will always be willing to help if you just ask- babies are contagiously cute.

Man, I am terrified to see how little time I will have once this baby actually comes! Things will be crazy for a while... especially if he turns out to be premature. I think being an artist just doesn't lend itself well to also having a family. Sometimes it seems that art can be as demanding as any kid. It would certainly be difficult to balance the two!
Thank you for your advice! I'm so new to this, and all my experience with children aside, I can use some wise words from someone who has been there and done it. Especially someone who is also an artist!

It was the most Halloween-y ultrasound ever. My boyfriend walked in with a big happy smile, expecting all the vaguely pudgy cuteness that anyone would expect, and that smile dropped to the floor for a good 30 seconds before he could get past the skull face. He was like "Is that his skull? Why can we see his skull? Why does he look so scary?" I laughed pretty hard at his expression.
I just figure that for a skull face, at least it's adorably proportioned~

Haha, the best advice I can give is to settle EVERYTHING ELSE in your life first. Pregnancy is way easier if you can relax and not spaz over everything else in life the whole way through. ;)
I was probably a lot like your boyfriend for a long while. Somehow, once the baby was in the picture I completely changed my mindset about the whole thing.
Thank you! I'll try, but I suspect my poor bones will never be quite the same after this. XD Though I'd be happy with one good night's sleep at this point!

Great advice!
I shall keep that in mind from here on.
Just hope I can at least have one before I'm 40.
Right now, though...I need to finish school. :3
Just don't overdo it. If you need help with anything, just call for help. Nobody can resist helping pregnate ladies in need of assistance. x3

Haha, sounds like you'll have no trouble knowing when the time is right. ^^ I'll admit that I jumped the gun a bit. The pregnancy is no less wanted, but I certainly haven't made it any easier on myself by having a little unplanned surprise so early in life! :P I've had a lot of loose ends to tie up.
Ahh... I am more prone to over-working myself and pushing to exceed my high expectations than I am to anything else. Say what you will about those who skirt by with the bare minimum, doing too much is probably not any more healthy. ^^' I'll make sure to take your(and others) advice when I'm told to take it easy for once.

mo meed! enjoy it. motherhood truly is the gift that keeps on giving. i'm 23 with a 6 yr old and i've done everything i said id never do for my daughter. she is unique, eccentric but a girly girl none the less and as much as i tried a guns and roses and the offspring theme she chose tinkerbell and barbie. shes my little princess.
I believe you when you say it! It's strange to think how much I have changed since becoming pregnant, and it has only been 28 weeks... I would do anything for him, and I've never even seen him. Somehow it doesn't matter. There's something about being a mom, or a parent, that over-rides the need to serve any other purpose in times of need. However small or great the need may be. :)
That's so soon! You must be so excited! :D
I'm doing okay as far as I know. Some painful cramps, a bit dialated, but the baby seems to be fine. There's a chance of premature labour at 28 weeks... So I'm being closely monitored, tested, and drugged. Everyone is waiting on some test results right now that should determine whether or not I can go home, or if I have to be transferred to a special unit out of town for premature infants, or if I'm just going to be here until the baby comes, or what. It's all up in the air right now. I've paid for 24 hours of internet usage so I can keep on top of my messages, but I'm unfortunately stuck in a maternity ward.

Adding my congrats, they're lovely pictures. Reminds me of my own pregnancy, I loved seeing how much my body changed (not to mention how nifty it is watching the wee one rolling around inside you and shifting your abdomen around). :)
There really isn't anything quite like being pregnant. Probably one of those things you either love or hate, though. *laughs*

Thank you! It is really neat watching all the changes, even in spite of the various pains and discomforts. It's really quite remarkable seeing the baby develop, grow, and move around... It'll be all the better once I can hold him in person!
I'm not sure! I can't say that I really either love or hate pregnancy. It's got a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes I hate it, and other times I would never trade it in. I've never regretted it, though. For all its trials and tribulations, it is ultimately worth it, at least this once. :)
I admire those few who can fall in love with every aspect of it. ;) You're lucky to be so open to change!

I would have to say that it is worth the pain so far, but I also have to admit that it is a LOT of pain. I obviously have yet to experience the pain of childbirth itself, but I would hazard to guess that it's not the worst part. The worst part is the slightly lesser degrees of pain that happen constantly day in and day out for months. :P I guess it's less about the pain and more about the endurance.
It's kind of different once you're in it though. Somehow, because it's all in the name of a very climactic purpose, many women can tough it out. I suspect that if it came down to it, you would be able to do the same. :) The hormones help too, by making everything a lot less scary. ;)

Epidurals help a lot, too. :D The real pain comes after that, when you have no forewarning that you're about to wet yourself, almost no bladder control, and you have to fill a squirt bottle with soapy water before you go so that you can clean up afterwards. x___x Oh, the joys of being a new mom... I don't miss it. <.<
Lol that and not being able to walk very well to the bathroom were the worst part. And if you get the epidural, listen to them- don't chow down on ice cubes. First thing I did when I got to my recovery room was revisit all the ice I'd chomped. x__x Then tried to walk.... that was amusing. ^^; Apparently being able to wiggle your toes and (vaguely) feel someone poking your leg doesn't mean you can stand.
AWWWWWWWWW how precious! I'm so happy for you!!! That's so weird... you're yet another artist who is in the process of having a child...
I just had IVF done last Thursday. I'll find out next week if I'm pregnant! I can't wait to get an ultrasound like this of my own!! 8D
Congrats!!

He's technically due January 24th, but I'm 1 centimeter dilated already... So he could come at any time. Hopefully later rather than sooner, because it looks like I haven't dilated any further in about a week.

(It means the cervix is opened a bit to get ready for birth. For me, 1 centimeter, or half an inch. x_x It sucks, and kind of hurts sometimes. It hasn't opened any wider though, and my water didn't break yet. You'll find out yourself when you get there, for sure. :P)
I kind of thought he would end up in there longer, if anything. But I'm really small, and I haven't been able to put on much weight and I've been under a lot of stress at home, so I think that's why he will come out a bit early. Thanks! Hopefully he will stay in until the due date! ^^

Oh no!!! Stress??!?! :( That's really not good......... have you ever tried meditation before? I find it really helps me... I used to not be into it when I was younger, but a lot of friends and my husband, too, were urging me to try it more (especially with all the IVF stress, and my ovary problems prior to all of this)~ Just last night I tried doing some guided meditation... I felt so relieved afterwards!
If you do try, I hope it helps things a bit... I get worried when I hear about premature babies. I'm wishing you the best... Sending positive vibes your way!!!

Thank you! :D Yes, we've decided to name him "Kyle Matthew". It's common maybe, but it's a good versatile name that's easy to spell and pronounce. My name is all french and many people can't pronounce it properly and even less spell it correctly, so I wanted him to not have that problem. :P
