Alright, so here's the thing. I forgot to take a HDBD pic today, mostly because I've been spaced out since I worked this weekend and forgot it was Wednesday. So the only pic I have is one I took on Monday, in my bikini, after I laid out for about an hour. I sort of had this realization that I would probably never look this good in a bathing suit again (and I sure as hell don't look as good now as I did 10 years ago), so I might as well take a pic for posterity. So anyway, I present to you, bikini HDBD pic (If you are offended by bellies in bikinis, LOOK AWAY NOW!!):

I think you look great and if it wasn't for all my extra me and stretch marks from DD, I'd be in a bikini by the pool everyday. I didn't do my normal get brown as a brown person March tanning bed spree which is the only thing that covers my stretch marks, so no bikini for me this year. Sad face.

Aw! I think you look great! I cannot wear string tops; I feel like the strings at my neck will slice my head right in two!

Helloooooooo nurse!
Heh heh, now I have the Tiny Tunes theme song stuck in my head.
Last night I was reading my 20 week update email to DH and it said something along the lines of this week we probably have more activity between the sheets. Then we had this awkward moment where I looked like this:

I also hate the bikini strings tying at my neck. Voila, solution:
That's life changing! I imagine because some women care more about tan lines than comfort.
I'm ALL about comfort! Thanks for the tip!
No problem, it has seriously changed my bikini life. After having one of these, I cut up all my halter-top bikinis and make them into these cross designs--beware if you try this at home, some seamstress skills are required, and you'll never want to wear a halter-top bikini again.
please tell me you pulled a Kim K and photoshopped yourself! jealous <as I think about what fatty food I want for lunch>
Ha, I'm too poor to have photoshop. BUT I will say that the lighting right there is particularly flattering, AND just be glad that I did not post a rear view pic, because it ain't so pretty. There is also some strategic standing and angling of the thighs going on. I just figured I'd document it before the jiggle and dimples that is on the back side of me migrates to the front side, which I know it eventually will (thanks, mom, for passing on the cellulite gene).

Not as cute as you in your sexy little bikini guuurrrlllfriend. Work it momma!
Haha, thanks! Funny thing, my mom now emails me every Wednesday and asks me to send her my HDBD pic. I sent her this one, and she responded, "Oh my!"
I usually post my HDBD on FB. I should take a bikini shot just for shock value, and dedicate it to sleepy!
Do it! It's empowering! Until your mom says, "Oh my!" anyway.
A week or so ago, I said to her that maybe I'd go to our local pool to cool off. She said, "What would you wear, a special suit?" I was like, nah, probably just my regular bathing suit. She seemed very skeptical that it would fit. So when I sent her the pic, I was like, see?? Still fits!
Weight loss/gain: up about 12 pounds, mostly in my butt (yuck)
Maternity clothes: pretty much, expect for some normal shirts (like the one in my picture)
Symptoms: horrible back pain! and heartburn
Sleep: so so. We moved into our new apartment this last weekend that is right next to TWO train tracks. I am slowly getting used to the horrible noise all night. Also my back hurts really, really bad sometimes when I am trying to fall asleep

Wearing a regular shirt, getting pretty tight but it is one of my favorites.
You know what sleepy, I was going to get a special suit. But you've kind of inspired me to throw caution to the wind and work the pregkini. Petdoc, i love your picture. I love your dress. And I especially love your toilet.
How far along? 22 weeks, 4 days

What I'm looking forward to? Visiting my family down home next week
What I'm nervous about: My next dr visit glucose and blood testing
I'm 19 weeks today! I've gained circa 14 lbs ughhhhhhhh why!?!?!?! So I broke down and ordered some maternity pants, shirts and dresses from ON and bought more yoga pants and work out shirts today. I've been really constipated and crampy, having dizziness and headaches, ravenous like it's nobody's business and my boobs are the size of my house. JOY. I sleep ok, but my hips and legs start to hurt in the middle of the night and I pee a million times! Best moment this week was seeing LO last Friday! She is a girl and name will probably be Sawyer Lynne. She makes me crave cake cake cake this week!! Belly button still in (for now). I miss wine and margaritas a lot this week and my old body! Looking forward to hitting 20 weeks and the half way point. Nervous about this fever I've had for about 3 weeks now... I've been seeing a lot of specialists and been poked and proded for days with no significant findings... next step amnio ( super scared and hoping it won't come to that!!!

I can't even manage to look that good in a bikini PRE pregnancy lol
Maternity clothes: bottoms, but not necessarily tops.
Symptoms: swelling feet and ankles, but the compression stockings have been a HUGE help with this and don't look that bad. I also have quite a bit of rib pain that I just haven't been able to figure out how to alleviate, and it just keeps getting worse.
Sleep: Pretty good actually. The only thing that has affected it recently is the plague I am suffering from.
Best moment this week? Feeling more movement AND knowing it's movement.
Sex of baby: Girl
Name of baby: Evelyn
Food cravings: Nope. I am still having a hard time just figuring out what I do want to eat.
Belly button in or out? It's on its way out for sure.
What I miss? Going through an entire day without feeling uncomfortable.
What I'm looking forward to? Buying all the nursery stuff I have picked out. I have kinda been holding out over an irrational fear of jinxing myself and the baby.
What I'm nervous about? Adjusting to life with a baby.
*ETA: I CANNOT get my pic to load on here. It is driving me insane! <insert pregnant woman rage>*

Same situation here. Sorry hubs.
I also hate the bikini strings tying at my neck. Voila, solution:

Tightens down if you need it to, but the pressure isn't at your neck. Why are all bikini tops not made this way??
That's life changing! I imagine because some women care more about tan lines than comfort.
I'm ALL about comfort! Thanks for the tip!
Shoot! I never realized you hadn't posted to HDBD before? I feel like I've seen you bc of your picture in your sig. Nice bump lady!
