For Lindsey

Lindsey requested I post a picture of myself for size comparison purposes... since she did have a doctor's appointment today... maybe she is holding a baby and is smaller by now... if not... here you go.

This one was taken last night by Weston. He said I was just trying to look big by putting my hands around my tummy. I said I would only be trying to look big if I were actually sticking my tummy out, which I was not.


However, generally I don't look quite that big, I don't think, because when you move around you use your tummy muscles and it holds a little in. So here is a picture like that.


Now, when Eva sits on my tummy, it does hide it's largeness pretty well. You should'a seen me WITHOUT the swimsuit coverup.



So all these pictures were taken at 26.5 weeks. Just so you can all remember where I'm headed in my largeness, here is a picture of me pregnant with Eva at 40.5 weeks. Wow - I do get big. But I wonder why we think getting big while pregnant is so bad. Perhaps we should glory more in our abdominal vuluptuousness. After all being bigger than other ladies only means it takes longer to get back to normal size (at least in my case) and that you are more uncomfortable while pregnant... geesh... what's the big deal!! no pun intended... :)

You look FABULOUS! It's great, it makes me think that I MUST look that fabulous. I really need to take the side profile pic now. Not sure why it's in vogue to stay small; in my opinion that never made for a very healthy baby. Here's to little people getting big bellies!

Great to see your belly, thanks for the post.

Congrats on your bigness - I still think sit-ups are a possibility at this stage

Now if you just had vuluptuousness upstairs you wouldn't look so big in the tummy :) How do I know? Darn D cup!!!
