Face #1: Content
Some days I feel content, like nothing can touch me. My cervix will NOT shrink. My baby WILL be full-term.
Face #2: Eeeewww!
This face is reserved for such phrases as ,"this house is filthy!" and, "what is that smell?"
Face #3: Holding my breath
This is for the days where I am holding my breath until me next cervical measurement. Dear Lord, pleeaase let my cervix stay long and closed!
Face #4: Oh, you don't saaay!
This is for the plethora of unwanted pieces of advice. Of course as soon as a woman gets pregnant, people are full of suggestions to do/not do this or that, to eat/not eat this or that, lalala. Is there anything left to do if I take all the advice?
Face #5: My cervix is HOW long??
This face is for the doctor's eyes only. It is the shock of finding out that my cervix is more than a centimeter shorter than it was two weeks ago. AAAHHH!
Face #6: FINE (Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional)
This face is for the times when I feel the aforementioned feelings, but say that I feel fine. Yeah, sure, I am FINE.... why do you ask?
How am I feeling today, you might ask? Well, to be honest, I couldn't really tell you if I tried....

Krys, I think you know me well enough to know that it was supposed to be funny....
You rock. Thanks for being there for me!
Becci...
This is the first time I have looked at your blog since before I came to visit you with Debbie Smouse and it was SO good to see you still have your sense of humor! I lol'd about your blog and the pics. You seem to be staying really positive, and I bet that helps in your situation. I'm SOOOO excited that you and baby B have gotten this far! I really wish I could have visited you more and gotten to know you. The couple of weeks after I saw you were crazy... trying to pack and prepare to head back to Alaska (where we are now) while dealing with some family sicknesses. Anyway, you truly are amazing to me for what you are going through for this child! I pray for God to bless you and your family above and beyond all that you could ask or imagine! I'll be rooting for you for the next 7 weeks!

LOVE the faces. We really do know the spirit behind them, too!
We are on your team, Becci and David. Hang in there. I am sure you have a face for that expression, as well!!
You are both doing great and this little baby is lucky to have you for her parents. Give her a little pat from Grandma Hesselman, okay, Becci? Love, Mom
What I think is interesting is how those pictures were taken. I was playing with the continuous mode on our new camera, which takes 2 pictures a second. When I started taking pictures of Becci she just spontaneously started making all those faces. So all those faces you see were made in about 5 seconds or less. She laughed so hard when she saw those pictures...and then you see what she did with them next.

Becci that is too funny!! I know it must be so tough for you having to go through this but you are in great spirits!! Its really nice to see :) Hang in there!!!
Great faces Becci! I had to laugh when I went down the list.
Sorry that your body is being a pain for you and doing all these weird things. I hope that it all works itself out and that your baby stays in there til she is a week late. ;)
Take care and know that you have all of us out here to give you support when you need us. Keep up the good sense of humor too.
Becci, are you an actress?! You should be...
LOVED it! thanks, david, for the explanation, as well...that was interesting!
LOL Becca I wanted to be, but the drama teacher at my HS picked favs and I was not one of them. He said he had to pick the people with the most talent. Whatever. I didn't like him anyways.
Hi there, just found your blog via babyblogarama.net.
Those pics were super cute, hehe.
I hope that the next 7wks (praying for more) go by quickly for you. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like. I had a blood clot found at 8wks and the radiologist said to go on bed rest until i speak with my dr and that was only 4 days and i was crawling out of my skin!
Glad all is well so far with you and your baby, and praying that things continue to progress well. :)
Take care.
I have something very similar on my blog called the "Many Faces of Pregnancy". lol And here I thought I was the only one thinking along those lines. :) lol
