It was taken either right before or right after we got back from a brisk walk, a regular measure we took to help keep Leah&#8217;s blood sugar numbers down.  What a pain that was.  Measuring all her food, counting grapes.  Bah.  It&#8217;s not like Ava ended up being huge, after all that.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/170\/376209687_0c8bd66929.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/170\/376209687_0c8bd66929_m.jpg\" alt=\"Fake\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This is one of my favorite pictures of Leah, pregnant or otherwise.  They say that women take on a special glow when they&#8217;re with child, and my experience around pregnant women the last couple years confirms the old saw.  But Leah looks especially cute in this picture, I think.  Maybe it&#8217;s the playful pucker.  Or the hair.  That jaunty pose?  Maybe that little bundle tucked away there under her shirt.  A result of Leah&#8217;s bout with gestational diabetes was a fairly small weight gain during pregnancy.  You can see here that she was pretty much all tummy. <\/p>\n<p>From a technical standpoint, I love the light in this shot.  If I&#8217;d had a camera with a better sensor at the time, I might have even been to tighten up the focus a bit.  I suppose that&#8217;s why God created Photoshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This picture was taken on August 9th, 2004, just a little over a month before Ava was born.
