9 Months in 1000 Pictures
If you haven’t seen 9 Months, 1000 pictures yet, it’s time to step out of the bubble.
There are so many pregnancy time lapse videos on YouTube, and I don’t know if this was the original, but of the ones I have seen, it certainly wins bonus points for creativity, forethought, and music choice.
Maybe the setting could have been nicer, but hey, I’m just being picky 😉
So when I first found out I was expecting, I wanted to do my own one of these.
It’s not easy. Hubby and I lasted a day.
Between little arguments of what to fit in the screen, getting exposure and focus correct, and being frustrated that well, I was looking pasty and just generally unattractive compared to my visions of the video.
I know it’s shallow, and totally not the point of it, but all I saw was poorly fitting workout shorts, fat thighs, an ugly backdrop, and a general look that screamed ‘cheap home video.’
Considering all we had to do that day was take a photo, it was such a stressful and disappointing experience that we gave up and I haven’t seen the camera since.
5 weeks on, I’m not showing yet but seeing my belly ‘fill out’ and I’m ready to try again. In a new outfit, new setting, and hopefully, it’s going to be as awesome as I envision.
We’ll see…
