Oh goodness.
There is nothing more tortuous to me then people taking my picture while I’m pregnant. I hate it. Thus, there are a significant lack of preggo pictures of me floating around these days. And while I’m usually the first one to mug for the camera, I’m hiding even more recently.
I’ve entered the big zone. As in, “my belly is totally bigger then my butt and people are asking me when I’m due and I’m tempted to lie so they won’t respond with a gasp” zone.
Let’s face facts- I get big while pregnant. I don’t know how or why because I don’t eat my face off (I promise!!!), I work full time at a job that keeps me walking and on my feet almost the entire day, I wasn’t big before I got pregnant, and I actually measure a little small for how pregnant I am. Yet, I look huge.
But I’ve been promising a belly shot and so….
TADA!- it’s crappy quality but, in my defense, no one has been home to take my photo before I change into my pjs (read: 7pm), so I took it in a rather dirty full length mirror with my Blackberry.
But you get the gist. Here I am- dirty mirror, fuzzy picture, and all- in all my pregnancy glory. Makes me think maybe I should consider getting professional belly pics taken if this will be my only memory of pregnancy.
Be kind, friends. Be kind.

Lovely! I too am one of those women who just get really big while pregnant. By 7 months I am MASSIVE but then the exponential growth tapers off. You look great, though! Own it!! 🙂

You don’t look “huge” at all! You look fabulous! Second babies apparently “show” sooner than first ones anyway. I definitely look much bigger than I did with my first but have gained exactly the same amount of weight so far.
Lori says
You look absolutely perfect – you’re beautiful, inside and out!
Erin Little says
Fabulous! You won’t regret professional pics, I love mine and they’re a bijillion times better thane the 3 photos my husband or mother took!
Nancy says
jealous! you look great. enjoy every second of it. There is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant and happy woman
Laura says
I think you look great, and I would have guessed you to be around 24-28 weeks, so I don’t know why people would be shocked. You don’t look big at all!! (you want big belly? I could email you a pic of my 42.5 week belly carrying a 10lb 4oz baby…whoa…big)
Sara says

Sarah says

Sarah says

Christine says
Aw I love it!!
You look fantastic – and HONESTLY – you’re not that big! You look perfectly pregnant!!!
Chris says
You look wonderful!!!!!!!
Lisa says
The baby belly looks fabulous to me!! I would definitely consider professional maternity shots…I’m sure you’d love to look back on them later, or perhaps show the boys how it looked when you were pregnant with them : )
Ruth (aka Grandma) says
Isn’t your belly supposed to be bigger than your butt @ 26 weeks???
You really don’t carry your pregnancy weight anywhere else….just your tummy.
You’re adorable!!
