  Woo hoo!  Hot momma!  My neighbor invited me to go swimming yesterday and I told her I didn't have a suit to contain all this *motioning belly area*.  

  HAHAHA that's great. I realized in the dressing room that I may not be perfect, have a perfect body, but I have gone through a lot to bring this baby boy into the world and I am proud of every stretch mark, ounce of cellulite, and curve that is on my body. I have common sense in that I know what is appropriate for a public pool haha, but it makes me feel cute!! So I'm gonna show off *all this* and be proud!!! okay, I'm off my soap box now!!

  I was significantly overweight for a while, then lost 85 lbs, then gained back 40 while TTC, so in addition to what pregnancy itself has added, I have a lot of rolls, flab, stretch marks and loose skin.  I laughed when my SIL told me pregnancy would "ruin my body" because it wasn't exactly pristine to start!  Anyway, I'm pretty open-minded about who should or shouldn't wear bikinis in public, but I would not count myself in the "should" group!  However, I think its adorable when pregnant women (who are not me) wear bikinis!  You should celebrate that body and I am proud of you for going for it.  (I've also seen BPF pics of you and I can assure you that you would look much better in a bikini than I would!)
  
  Yay @CaitNMatt!

  Good for you! I have been avoiding the swimsuit purchase, but I know I'll need one for the hot summer.

  Good for you!!! I rocked a bikini on vaca in Cali this past winter, even at the pool at the Ritz with MH's coworkers and boss (who is female and has 3 kids). No one had issues with it and if they did no one would dare say something to a pregnant lady.

  I think pregnant women in bikinis are absolutely gorgeous. Also...the boobs!

  I wore one last weekend at the beach (at 35 weeks). OK, to be fair, I wore a coverup over it while walking on the beach but took that off to go in the pool at the hotel. But I DID NOT let my husband take a picture, as much as he tried.
