I don't usually read that blog, but I have really been enjoying pics from the Haven conference, so I went to check it out.

OMG, Katie. We get it. You're pregnant. You don't need to stick out and cup the underside of your belly in every. single. photo.

Though she had some ridic cute pics of YHL's Clara.

Lol

I was thinking this exact same thing the other day.

[sailorgray]

I always laugh when women do that. I am sure I have plenty pics of me doing it, but it really just looks like you are holding your crotch.

[hymen]

I always preferred to rest my hands ON my belly. *sigh* I miss my built-in hand rest.

[emoflamingo]

I think it's a force of habit. At that stage, I was doing it because I just looked fat otherwise. There's no mistaking me for fat now but I definitely think that factors in. You show so much faster with your second that I always felt like I just looked fat until I "rounded out" in the belly.

[peach]

Pregnant women always worry that in a photo they will just look fat, not pregnant. I think it's pretty much instinct to put your hands on your belly to say "Hey, there is something in here! I don't normally look like this!" in photos.
My hands were all over my belly when I was pregnant. I LOVED having the belly and could not keep my hands off of it.

[pinkeggs]

Yeah, I've been pregnant twice. I loved my bump. There are, however, many photos of me where my hand is not planted on my pelvis lol

[emoflamingo]

I catch myself doing it now lol. ESPECIALLY if I'm wearing a dress. I'm huge and dresses don't go back under the belly like a shirt and skirt do, so I feel even bigger.

Had the exact same thoughts when I saw her post. Every. single. pic. Though I get what the other ladies are saying, if she didn't do that she might be misconstrued as fat...

[housegeek]

I totally didn't stand like that when pregnant hah. And there's no way she just looks fat, that belly is either a tumor or a baby! Of course I didn't even look pregnant until like, 7 months, so maybe I just didn't have the time to get into the habit

[princepissedalot]

I totally get why women hold their bellies when they're pregnant (especially in photos) and I usually find it adorable, but I think in this situation it comes down to Katie Bower being the issue. She's on the same irritation level as Sherry for me (actually she's more of an irritant) and oh god looking at pictures of them together...

Flame away, but I do not think YHL's Clara is cute. AT ALL. And I feel kind of bad saying that about someone's little one, being a mom and all. But yeah, not cute.

Saying someone is not cute is a whole hell of a lot better than whatever person called her Fug. Now that she is finely getting hair she's getting cuter, some babies just take some time to become cuteys to people that don't know them.

If I liked John and Sherdog (cringe) and hung out with them, I would probably adore the girl but I'll agree she's not winning any beauty pageants this year.

Now RubyCube and BabyWop...those little girls are fabulous!!!

I am one of the first to criticize YHL (or say I love something when I do - guest room!)

But Clara is freaking adorable. WORM BIRTHDAY PARTY!

She is definitely getting cuter now that she has hair, but she is not ugly!! Some kids go through an awkward looking stage until they grow into some of their features. Clara obviously has Sherry's wide mouth full of teeth. But I think when she's a little older she's going to be a very pretty little girl.

What bugs me is they way they plaster her face and everything about her all over the web. One day when she's older she may stumble across the mean comments about her being ugly, and that's probably going to hurt her very much. For that I think J&S should be smacked upside the head for overexposing her.

I agree, but so many other bloggers do it also and should collectively be smacked. Will bower is frickin adorable, but I'm sure he has a hater out there somewhere, or House of Smiths her girls are all cuteys, or Kelle Hampton. Maybe they think no one will hate on their precious little bambinos?
