We just got back from our cruise yesterday and we had a great time! It was very relaxing and we ate like crazy...I feel like a stuffed tamale. I'm glad to be home, though, and ready to focus on studying and finding out whether the little bean is Nicolas or Emma in less than a month ![]()
Here are my "belly" pics from the last month...it feels kind of silly since I know that it's not a real baby belly (since the baby is still down low in my pelvis), but there's definitely a little bump there and it grows by the week. I think it's a combo of bloat, weight gain, and maybe all my organs slowly starting to shift upwards to make room for my growing uterus. I think so far it looks like I'm carrying high, but I don't know if that really counts yet...I think when people comment on carrying high or low they are referring to the actual baby/uterus and not the early pregnancy bloat! LOL.

You look great Jen! Even though it's a month away, I'm going to vote girl and say you're on team Emma
Hope you had fun on your cruise!
Thanks ladies!!!
Lily, it's seriously more of a time of day thing for me than a day to day thing. I feel like it fluctuates so much depending on what point of the day I am. In the morning, I don't look pregnant at all. But throughout the day, the more I eat, the more the belly grows! After a big dinner, I seriously look like I'm 5-6 months pregnant! And then the next morning it's all gone again.
Cynthia, the bathing suit is Vix (https://vixswimwear.com/). They are the ONLY bathing suit tops right now that fit me, because they make them in XL/D cups. Most big-cup bikini tops are ugly...they are really frumpy and basically look like plus-sized bras with underwire and thick straps. These are the only cute, sexy, triangle-top type bikini tops that I've found that actually fit my boobies. Unfortunately they are SUPER expensive
I can only afford to buy them on sale (when they're around $80), and I was only able to buy two and just had to rotate them throughout the whole cruise. They are soooo worth the money though...they are incredibly well made and the material feels like silk.
You look great!!! Keep it up!!!
