How is that baby belly coming along? Got any stretchmarks? Getting any "you're huge" comments? Post your belly pic!
Re: ~November Ninjas Monday Check In~
Large and stretch-marky indeed! 33 week pic in siggy and stretch mark pic in my blog!
In one day, I had two people tell me I'm ready to pop, and one person SHOCKED when I told her I was pregnant. Gee thanks, lady, did ya think I was just fat?
I feel like I am getting bigger by the second, but everyone says I am all baby and look small for being 34 weeks. (Trust me, I've seen the scale and my butt- that is not true!)
Choosing something to wear to work from the dreaded maternity clothes is a constant challenge. My shower is Saturday, and I still need to find a cute top for that (already know I am definitely, definitely wearing pants!).
No stretch marks yet...knock on wood.
I've had stretchies since about 12 weeks!
Been getting the "You're huge" comments for a while which I don't understand because I am not very big at all.
Here's my 34 week belly pic (please ignore the messiness in the backround)
I'm measuring around 38 weeks so I'm getting a lot of "you're huge" comments from people. When people find out my due date is Nov. 4th they tell me I'm going to deliver early which isn't helpful.
While my actual belly is huge, I've been lucky and the rest of me hasn't gained as much. I've got stretch marks returning from high school days. They had faded to white and are now getting pink again. They have started on the hips and haven't made their way all the way to the front.
I feel huge, but everyone says I'm small. ?DH thinks I'm smaller now than when I was with Layla. I do have stretchmarks though.. I had them with her, so I knew I'd have them again.?

I just got stretch marks on my belly last week
I've been going nutso with my palmers lotion. I'm sure they'll get worse, but I keep hoping that they won't get too bad! The don't even come close to comparing to the ones I have on the front of my thigs and inner thighs, those are freakin hideous!
I've gotten a couple "oh, you poor thing" comments when talking about due dates, but I've also gotten several "I know people that are waaay bigger than you" and most recently "you're such a cute pregnant!" (as if 'pregnant' is a noun, but whatever, it was a compliment)
My belly button still hasn't really popped though. It's about as flush as it can get, but it's not out yet, which I am happy about.
I love my belly, even though it is harder to manipulate myself through the world these days with it. I don't love the peach fuzz, though! Luckily I haven't had any stretchies yet. I am a bit surprised, because I do have some from puberty on my upper thighs/hips, but so far so good.
This pic is from last week:
I feel like I am getting bigger by the day at this point. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable but I know that I only have a few weeks left to go so that is keeping me going. Most people say that I'm all belly, but there are a few people that LOVE to tell me how huge I am all the time (my annoying female manager). Some days it doesn't bother me, but other days I want to yell, "What the @*ck do you think happens when you get pregnant? Of course i'm getting bigger." So far i've been lucky and haven't found any stretch marks, but i'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch as I know that they can magically appear right at the last minute. My 33 week pic from last Wednesday is in my siggy below.
The belly is getting large!! I do have stretch marks - some small ones on the front and lots on the sides (closer to my hips). I hate them!!!!
I saw my brother for the 1st time this weekend since July and the first thing he said was "Holy Sh!t - you're huge!!" It was funny b/c I know he didn't mean anything rude. My response was "well, there is a human growing inside of me!"
The only one who is saying that I'm huge is myself. I'm awfully down on my appearance these days. I have had quite a few strangers give me the "any day now" comment recently. Hmmmm...
I have not a single stretch mark - I'm hoping it stays that way.
Here is my 35/35 picture. I'm not the happiest camper.
Belly is much bigger this time around... at least it feels that way. As of my last appointment I was measuring about 6 weeks ahead so at least there's some real evidence to validate my feeling extra big.
I've got bunches of stretchmarks... not sure which ones are left overs from before or which are new, but there's a good bit of them there. And yes, gotten quite a few comments about my size...grrrrrrrr.
30 week pic in siggy - I need to update with a new one soon.

It's getting big. I really need to take a 33 week picture of the belly tonight. I haven't gotten any "you're huge" yet and if I did I may just slap someone! Oh and no stretchmarks yet!

Baby belly is coming along well! I do not have any stretchmarks yet, but I'm not counting on that to continue. I have some on my hips and boobs already from puberty, so I'm sure more are on their way!
And I get huge comments daily. People freak when I tell them I'm not due tomorrow. LOL. Most recent belly pic is in my signature, taken today!

The baby belly is definitely coming along! Not a lot of comments on it so far, except for my lovely DH, who reminds me every night, "whoa, you got quite the baby bump honey!". Of course he means it in the most loving way possible. Oh yes, it's stretchmark city on the front of my belly. Fun stuff!
Here's my latest bump picture, not the greatest shot, but it's something. It's from my shower on Saturday:
I don't think anyone in my office has ever seen a pregnant lady before cause they all drop their jaws when I tell them I'm only 32 weeks- still have 8 to go. My belly is WAY bigger this time than last time but I look about like the rest of you. I don't have a camera at work and don't bump from home.... I'll get a belly pic on here someday.

For the most part, its all good! In the past four weeks, the belly hasn't gotten much bigger, but I feel like she has. Also, she's dropped a bit. She used to lay pretty high.
No, stretchmarks yet! I hope that they don't come out soon bc we are taking belly shots next weekend!
Some people say that I look huge, but I really don't think that I do. But, then again, these are people that don't see me on a daily basis. Here's what I looked like now, even though this was two weeks ago....
