Yes, I know, I'm huge

So compare the below picture of me at 28 weeks to my picture at 24 weeks. What happened? I seriously doubled in size! I know the picture is blurry and I've got red eyes, but it's the best we've got!

Oh well, at least I'll have a big, healthy baby boy. I doubt we'll have to worry about any "failure to thrive" here!! As big as I feel, I'm right on schedule and I'm dead on with my measurements (even a tad small if you can believe it!). It's just pretty much going straight out in front of me, which I'd prefer to the belly spreading all around the sides!

I'm now officially in my third trimester and right on cue my hands have started to feel a little swollen. Gotta love it. Other than that, my raging hormones, and the mad sciatic nerve in my behind, I have nothing to complain about!

You are not huge. You look great! Seriously...so pretty. Isn't it fun? I have to say, I loved my second trimester but my third wasn't as bad as I expected. I actually really enjoyed it. So hang in there...and good luck with sciatic nerve.

You look so cute! I'd say the depressing part is when it starts spreading to your hips and butt and face. Nothing wrong with a nice healthy belly.

Emily, you look great! I know the feeling of having the tummy just go straight out...it is what I tend to do, but I have to say you definitely look much better!! I hope things keep going well. Kick your feet up when you can to keep them from swelling as you get farther along.

Emily - You look great! And can I just say I totally relate with the sciatic nerve!!! I can't even roll over at night! Lets hear it for healthy baby boy's!!!

SO very cute!! I can't believe you have just over two months to go. Where has the time gone? You look fabulous! The sciatic nerve really is a pain in the behind, huh. : )

Thank you everyone for your nice comments! I remember Janette telling me one time that no matter what anyone says, a pregnant woman will always think she's HUGE! Honestly I didn't expect anything else once I learned that X was 9 lbs 8 oz and that huge babies run in the family.

Emily, don't believe what I said ... you're BEAUTIFUL! WAY WAY WAY cuter than I could have dreamt of being while I was pregnant!

Erin said...

Hi Em! You look wonderful! Such a cute prego mamma. And what a cute skirt on you!

Lizzie said...

Are you kidding? You're adorable!

You're so cute! I agree, I don't think I have ever heard a pregnant lady ever complain of being too little. But for your sake I sure hope that your babies are just a little bit smaller than X was ;) (my babies both reached 10 lbs around 3 months, I can't imagine giving birth to a 3 month old)

Wow, it seems like your second trimester has gone by so quickly! And seriously, I think you must have doubled in size, I'm always surprised when I see you! But you do look great. Glowing, just radiant.
