My belly is big.
I know, I know. I’m 32 weeks pregnant so it’s gonna be. But seriously, this time, I feel Bigg-ER than either of the other two times.
Oh and did you catch that? I said 32 WEEKS pregnant. And since a c-section* will more-than-likely be scheduled the week before my due date that means we only have about seven weeks to go. That’s like NO time really.
But back to the belly.
People are starting to stare at me when I’m out and about. I’m sure some of the dialogue going through their mind may include, but are not limited to,
“Dang, she’s really pregnant, hope she doesn’t have that baby here and now.”
“Oh man, do I remember being like her and it sucked!”
“Boy or girl? Hmmmm.”
“Wonder if there’s two in there…”
And when out with the boys…
“Breeder…”
Okay, maybe not that last one. But even having a third, I think some people tend to think it’s too many.
I took some pictures of my super roundness the other night before Tim and I left for dinner. And you can refer back to this post to see again how different my belly was with Little G. It’s really kinda crazy.
See what I’m saying? I mean I almost knock The B Man out everyday just walking in the kitchen at the same time. His head happens to just be at the right height. Poor kid. He may have to start wearing a helmet. Good thing he starts school on Monday. Less chance of incident.
Oh and I’ve officially gained 30 pounds. That’s gonna be fun to get rid of. WHEE!
But in all seriousness, I’m getting VERY excited to meet this little girl. My mother brought several girlie outfits for her last weekend and I have a shower coming up this weekend that I am most excited about.
So… grow on belly. A healthy little girl is all I’m asking for…
*For those of you who don’t know, I had a C-section with Little G not because of the baby but because of my own issues so that’s what we will do with this birth as well…

You are so cute! I had a girl first and I was huge! Huge! when I was pregnant the second time with a boy adn almost ready to deliver people thought I was 6 months pregnant. I carried very differently with the two.

Oh wow, Elaine! You look gorgeous! I love your dress and when did you get your hair done? It looks great.
These pictures of you make me want to go out and get one of those fake bellies so I can look this cute without the side effect of being pregnant… is that weird? Oh. Then never mind.
april says

Jen says
You look mah-velous!!! Very cute! Grow, baby, grow!
Erin says
You look amazing! I carried a lot like you with Tommy, though with Luke I carried like you did with G. I love your dress, too!
jenn says
You look very cute pregnant. I’m so jealous. I looked like a marshmallow or something equally puffy and fat. (I ended up on bedrest because I was so swollen everywhere. And because my blood pressure went way high. I didn’t enjoy pregnancy, but the end result is great.)
My Goodness says
You are adorable!!
But we should MAYBE get you a t-shirt that says “Yes, I know what caused this…and I like it!”
Heather's Hacienda says
You certainly have a girl belly!!! At least you carry it WAY better than I did!!! You look AWESOME!

You (and your belly) looks gorgeous! I can’t believe she’s almost here! 🙂
The part about Ben wearing a helmet cracked me up! 🙂
Mommy Mo says
I think your belly looks beautifully awesome and I do believe my belly was bigger than yours at the end. If you want, I can send you a pic of me at 40 weeks- GLORIOUS!

You look fabulous!! Beautiful!
Julie says
30 lbs is nothing! My best friend gained 45 with her girl and only 20 with her boy 🙂 You look amazing! My belly is ginormous as well with just one week to go but it didn’t start growing until about 5 weeks ago so I was getting a lot of the “is she pregnant or just really fat?” looks….hate those!
