This was actually a few weeks ago...I was maybe 20 weeks. My DH insisted we have 'music time' with the baby. Here he is playing a thumb piano on my belly.

Hey Ladies!  If you would like to win a baby hammock, be sure to check out the Pregnancy Photo Contest.  I think some of your photos are fantastic!

Sweethuck- the baby music picture is incredible!!  What a wonderful moment to share.

 

You all look amazing!  Once I am done house sitting I will upload a picture of my bump.  Haven't taken any pictures this week and I wonder what the changes will look like.

Bumkinsmom, I like your photos, especially the last one, the cow looks straight at the photographer thumb.gif

Strawberry is quite the charmer when it comes to photoshoots. She kept rubbing her head against me trying for pets though so it was quite difficult to get a good shot, my daughter thought it was hilarious.

Here's my photo from 19w and change at the top and then from yesterday at 21w1d on the bottom ... excuse my attire, I have on non maternity clothes and the pants are probably being worn for the last time.  They are really squeezing the bottom of my stomach and the top is a freggin large because the medium was getting too tight around my belly.  So instead of them letting me wear something flattering they just gave me a large shirt.  While it fits with room around my belly it's like a tent every where else :(

This is from a week and a half ago, so 20ish weeks.  Need to take another soon as I think I have grown quite a bit this past week!

Tenk, that`s a big change :) You belly popped in 2 weeks

post #212 of 538

So here's my picture from today at 21w3d for comparison to the 19w picture, I have on the same comfy outfit versus the outfit I'm wearing that's cutting off my circulation in the other one LOL.

 

 

 

And here's the one again from 19w so you have a side by side.

 

Top is 21w3d bottom is 19w + and I can still see the change, it just doesn't look like the picture with the work clothes on :)

That really was the case for me  -  my husband was out of the country traveling from 18 to almost 21 weeks, in which time I went from looking a little bloated to BAM pregnant!

26 weeks!  Baby did some serious growing this week....I can definitely feel specific body parts and different kinds of movement than before.  Is anyone else feeling super sexy?  I'm really loving my body and feeling good at this point.

I do love how I'm feeling too.  I love how my belly looks.  I would feel sexier if my hips/ ass didn't also get so curvy.  I guess that is what happens when you gain more than just "baby weight"....  I don't like how it makes me feel ashamed/ self-conscious.   *sigh*

I'm going to say that it's not because you have gained more than you should, JNajla, and I totally DON'T understand how women can go with ONLY gaining 25lbs ... seems so impossible!!  Today I weighed myself 152 @ 22 weeks up from 136 starting weight so I'm up 16lbs so far and my ass and hips are bigger too.  I just can't seem to find the happy medium with it and this is the 7th time I've been this far along :(.  I think the way your body grows is just genetics mama.  You look BEAUTIFUL though!!

The ones who only gain 25 pounds were very likely very, very sick in the first trimester. (Raises hand!) Don't be jealous of that...I'd rather feel better and gain 40+ pounds...although at this rate now that I'm feeling better, I may be right on track to do so. :P

 

All pregnant mamas are gorgeous, IMO. :)
