Awkward Pregnancy Photos
I didn't want to have any pictures of myself pregnant but a friend told me how much she regretted not at least having one or two shots because her kids wanted to know what she looked like when she was pregnant with them, so gave in and took a couple of mug-shot style pictures of myself so it was documented.
With that in mind, you may want to capture your pregnancies in a photograph to preserve the wonder of life so I chose a few gems from awkwardfamilyphotos.com for a little inspiration.
"Karen, seeing as you're pregnant, let's put you at the top of the family photo where the air is thinner. Karen? Karen?!?!"
I can appreciate what they were trying to do here but if your Christmas photo looks like it should have a "becka, becka, bow wow" soundtrack playing in the background, then you may want to reconsider the card.
I can't decide whether I like the garbage bag dress, the swamp or his black socks in the water better.
"That's it, Steve. A little further back, a little further. Now crouch down. Perfect!" I think the ex-boyfriend may have been the photographer in this one.
This reminds me of a picnic. A good idea in theory but an uncomfortable mess in practice. 
Words can't describe this photo. Oh wait a minute, they can!
Okay, I actually love this photo but the toe shoes are the real kicker. Ha kicker!
"It's going to be a good year, Laura. A very Goodyear indeed."
At first I thought "Nothing symbolizes maternity better than a watermelon and a gun" and then I thought "Actually, nothing *does* symbolize maternity better than a watermelon and a gun". Bravo Mad'am.
Like the previous Christmas card, if it looks skeezy when nobody is pregnant, then a baby bump ain't saving it so don't do it. A helpful holiday tip we can all tuck in our pockets.
"If I'm holding the baby then why do I still feel fat?"
Um, yeah. No. I'm just going to go with a solid no on this one.
Why do I feel like this woman was talked into this? I could see her thinking, "I'm just too tired to argue plus the kids won't be able to take off because hockey equipment will slow them down and I'll hold their heads. I'm sure it will look fine."
So get out there with your cameras and document your blossoming belly, you crazy gals! Happy snappin'!

A few people have past along some other great photos and I just had to share.
First let me say that this couple probably had one of the cutest babies on the planet because they have the sweetest faces so I just love how she's looking at him tenderly while stealing his gun. There simply aren't enough pregnancy/gun pictures.
When I first saw this I was beyond WTF? (and I went to art college) but then I was so damn impressed with this guys agility that I'd rock this over the fireplace!! With a gun, of course. On a separate note, the photographer that took this, Michelle Bates, has some really beautiful photographs on this site.
Lastly, I wanted to show you all a brilliant shots that these adoptive parents did. To see the whole series, check out the photographer's site. Do you think they would adopt me too because I love them. It's no naked headstand, but I love them.

The one with the naked guy is so many kinds of wrong that I don't even know where to begin.
Thanks (et al) for the laugh
I am laughing so hard I'm crying. These are awful...yet awesome all at the same time. WHAT are people thinking?! Obviously they are not thinking. Thanks for the laugh!
so, this is amazing. thanks for the chuckle!!
I could look at these all day! I have been sending the link out to family and friends. It is the perfect mix of ridiculous and awesome! Thanks for brightening my day!
O the hilarity!!! That made my day!!!
Oh this was just too funny for words! Thank you for brightening my day ;)
I wish there were one with the naked man holding the naked prego with a mirror behind them with the naked man in the mirror wearing a condom and looking wistfully backward toward his mirrored, cloaked self. Now, that would be klassy.
Are these comments supposed to be funny, insightful or just plain judgmental, especially since they are taken out of context by this blogger who had no other ideas this week. Out of context meaning they are being displayed in a manner in which they were not intended.
This gave me a very much needed laugh! Thank you!
So funny! Where did you find all of those? I'm sending your link to all my pregnant friends :-)
Would love to guest post this from you!
Hilarious, there are truly no words to follow this post
other than I want to host you on mine!
This is pretty damn funny. Bad Joo... I am in somewhat of an agreement with you. However, it is obvious that this blogger found all these photos online. Combine this with the movie Catfish, and many people will start making their photos private, or not posting ones they wish the world not to see all over the internet.
It amazes me at the crude judge mental people we are. Yes maybe these are not the type of pictures you would have taken...but..these are proud and happy parents to be! Trying to share/document their bundle of joy! Why do we find the need to judge and condem people for something like this?? Congrats to the people in these photos for taking pictures they wanted regardless of all the morons that are out there that will have crappy things to say!
I just want to say, no one wants to look at naked pictures of thier parents...ever. Whether they were pregnant with them or not. Bare belly: understandable. Bare everything: teenager's nightmare.
*their
DYING laughing here!!!! Each one was better than the last, so hilarious!!!!
I just wanted to clarify that Bad Joo made the awesome suggestion about the naked man photoshoot and it was Tom that wasn't impressed by this post.
I also wanted to point out that all these images were pulled from awkwardphotos.com where people actually submit these suckers and I didn't just pull them randomly off the web. The site is hysterical and I urge you all to check it out.
And hey, if you want to pose naked with a dead bird, car parts and a firearm – I say get down with your bad self – I'm not judging. Well, the naked guy, I guess I am a little. My bad.
Some things should be made fun of. Over and Over. Like... Alanis Morisette's lyrics to "Ironic", and everything about Dan Quayle, and the idea of a Jamaican bobsled team, and the way french people smell, and when babies bob around with huge eyeballs just after they learn to hold their heads up like they're really drunk.... and preggo christmas card porn.
Effing Love It. Love It. You could help usher in world peace with these, if we all just sat down together to laugh our azzes off together.
Awesome.. thanks.
Complaining commenters-please take the time to READ the intro. There is a website called Awkward Family Photos-most of the photos are from people uploading their own pictures. It's hysterical. The blogger says clearly that this is where the pictures came from. Duh.
I actually cought myself laughing out loud!!! What planet are these people from???
Thanks for the laugh!!
Perfect Christmas cheer! Laughng out loud to yourself funny. I think they are even better if your a parent.
Lighten up to everyone who thinks the author is "judgmental" -- geez
