While I’ve been tracking my maternity fashion on this blog, I’ve also been tracking my actual belly growth for a super dorky book I bought at the beginning of this pregnancy:
I’m not the type to “scrapbook” (I still haven’t finished my stupid wedding scrapbook. Wait – I meant stupid scrapbook of my wedding… my wedding wasn’t stupid…
But I couldn’t resist this book. While I don’t understand how women know they’re pregnant from weeks 1-8 (they have pages for your belly shots), I do like being able to track my belly. So anyways, this is a reflection on my belly growth since it has now reached a point where I feel like it gets in the way. Actually – it has been getting in the way for awhile now…
Week 8:
Week 23 (a little more than halfway):
And this week (week 36):
I still haven’t gotten any stretch marks so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things stay that way. But it is crazy to see me with a flat stomach. I almost don’t remember what my body was like prior to this pregnancy! I think it’ll be nice to be able to bend down though… I kind of miss that.
Love this post! I had the same book with my first pregnancy, and it really motivated me to take weekly belly shots. Such fun! You look awesome BTW!
So cute — the book idea AND you!
You look AMAZING!
If it’s any consolation, your stomach is still smaller than mine! lol
I had that book… never did anything with it.
You look amazing and I’m totally jealous of the fact you’re just going to pop back to your normal size… helps that you run like every day though and I just sat on my a**.
You are one darn gorgeous pregnant lady!
Cute cute, so darn cute!
whoo that’s a huge belly! congratulations you. and no stretch marks?! YAYS.
Beautiful belly!!!!
It’s amazing how much your belly has grown. Coming from someone who is not a mother: pregnancy is effin’ magical to me.
Also, no stretch marks?! Did you make a deal with the devil?
Dude that last photo of you is GORGEOUS. You are so pretty and amazing for carrying a baby and bringing it into this world.
