Everyone's bellies look adorable! It's been fun watching them all grow! I've got to get a 24 week photo today at some point. No stretch marks yet and I never got them with my son, but of course I was 21 when I had him. I wonder if I'll get them this time since I'm older.

24 weeks and 3 days! Crazy, it doesn't seem like that long ago that we first found out we were expecting again! I guess having another little one to chase around keeps you busy enough that the time seems to fly by!

I totally agree. My first pregnancy went by so slow! This one is zooming by! Having another one to keep us busy must be the reason!

Berrymomma - we must live near each other. We are having the same weather. BRRRRRRRRR!

 

aHikaru - You look adorable!

 

Trisha - I feel like I have gotten either heavier in the last few days or my pubic bone/leg muscles have gotten weaker or baby is just lower more often. Trying to get up off a toilet is ridiculous right now, haha.

 

Philsbabymama - I have days (like yesterday) where I feel so stirr crazy  but then today I was on the go all day and looking at things I have left to do and get it seems like just the perfect amount of time left.

funny you say that :) everytime my mom see's me she says "double D's!"... I def was a DD for about a month after DD was born when my milk came in, so I could be bigger than I think.

I was talking to DH tonight about feeling big and itchy and decided to take some measurements. Hips 41", belly 41", boobs 40". I guess I am pretty well rounded. lol.gif I need to buy a bra BAD! I have yet to buy one this pregnancy and have just been going back and forth between nursing bras and sports bras but they are not the most flattering.

if you measure around your boobs (loosely) write down that number, and then measure tightly under (in inches) then if the 2nd number is odd add 5 and if even add 4, then take number A and subtract from it number B (+ the 4 or 5) and the difference is your size..

 

aa -1

a 0

b 1

c 2

d 3

dd 4

e 5

f 6

g 7 etc

 

for example im 26 around my ribs (altho creepin up to a 27 now through preg but 32s are still too big) and thats an even number, my boobs measure 37.

 

37-(26+4) = 37-30

 

                 =7

                 = 30G (30 being the number around the ribs +4 of course)

 

once u get used to it its soooo much better doing it yourself.. u can check your size often and also if you watch the videos about fitting and its basic rules you can become your own expert bra fitter .. i also fit half my friends hehe.. discovered most are wearing the wrong size bra.

 

Baily.. wow how are you feelingg with that? you should measure your boobs following my above method.. its much easier and less stressful then "geting fitted". .my bellys grown a bit more but is still only 32 inches.. altho midwife did fundal height yest and it was 25 so it must be my lengh!

very precise info, I just do it the way they do it at victoria secret...for example, my ribs are 28 inches and boobs are 31-32 inches, just subtract 32-28= 4= D.

 

1=A

2=B

3=C

4=D

 

so im between a full C and small D, which is def bigger than I originally though, prob cause i'm so petite.

Is that how you size your bra? I had no idea! That should cut down on try on time for me next time. I hate bra shopping! haha
