here's my 25.5 wk belly pic. for those of you who look and feel 8 months pregnant

[pixiedust]

Okay, I can't be the ONLY one looking at those other belly pictures thinking I looked like that about 2 months ago? I could use the excuse that this is my 3rd munchkin and 8th pregnancy but umm... I looked about like this with my 2 girls as well. I look pretty normal, mabye even small until I hit 5 months. Then I start getting the "when are you due" and "is it twins?" comments? And of COURSE EVERYONE thinks it's a boy (even with my two daughters) because apparently I carry huge in the front. Oh well... at least it's obvious I'm pregnant huh?

Oh, and I DO realize you can see thru this shirt.. I had a looser fitting tank over the shirt but took it off for the pic. : and I promise.. there IS a bit more of a def. between the boobs and belly IRL

oh my gosh! I think you look GREAT! Definitely pg, but not huge :

[mikaylasmama]

You look great! I think you look just right for 25.5 weeks.

If it makes you feel any better I get the "are you sure there's only one in there comment" from everyone. People say so you must be due soon and they are shocked when i say i am due mid Nov.

I have the opposite problem.. I don't grow out wards very much and I just look fat. Be proud that you actually look pregnant! Although, it does shelter me from coments and strangers rubbing my belly, however, it does come with people avoiding eye contact (apparently it's not okay to look a fat woman in the eyes).

You look great. I'm carrying just the same, and people keep telling me I'm tiny for 25 weeks. Which I, of course, think is hilarious.

[sorteep]

I think you look great and I LOVE teh shirt!! definitely slimming!

[LittleBrownDog]

Suzanne, I always forget that PixieDust is you and then I saw your pictures and was like HEY! I know her! :

I think you look fabulous!

[Valerieg]

You look great! I was anticipating this enormous belly...but you look right on for 25-26 weeks. I like the second picture too...nice top!

Its funny what people say about PG bellies. Some people comment on how tiny I still am and others tell me that I'm either due in Oct or having twins.

Sometimes I think people talk about our bellies just to strike up conversation with us about something they know we're interested in.

You look great! And not huge at all. Pretty much the same amount of belly as me, I'm 25.5 weeks too. And everyone keeps telling me I look small or not that pregnant. I guess it's hard to have perspective when it's our own belly. I feel huge already, until I see a woman who is truly 8-9 months pregnant... then I remember how much huger I have to get!

[mittendrin]

You look just fine and perfectly normal for 25 wks. I don't see a giant belly, really...

[Monkeybutt]

You look hot!! Did stacy make that shirt? What a small world!

[*Lindsey*]

I don't think you look huge at all, mama. Just right!

[Grace24]

That's about where I'm at too, at 24 weeks today. You look great! People say silly stuff...it seemed like I went from "I can't even tell you're pregnant" to "Are you 8 months?" overnight. You can't win.

[kathteach]

I gotta agree, you don't look huge at all, you look just perfect!

[myjulybabes]

You look fabulous!

[Lexi_029]

You look adorable!

[Argonaut]

I don't know... You don't look that huge to me! Then again, my belly is seriously freakishly gigantic, and I'm not even yet 25 weeks..

Sorry this picture is so blurry, but you can at least see how huge my belly is.

I get SO many comments about how I have to be due sooner, how I look ready to pop, etc. I just tell them I always get huge because I grow huge babies (DD was over 10 lbs).

[pixiedust]

thanks guys.. but it really does look bigger IRL I think LOL.. oh well.. nothing I can do about it so I really dont' care this time around... I guess that's the advantage to it being my 3rd pregnancy. I know there is NOTHING I can do to change what shape I'm turning into so I just don't care to much about it

[crystalalene]

I think you look right on for 25 wks.
I get the twins comments at work a lot but I think people can't remember how very big full term is!
I keep telling them that I can't set a cup on it yet so I've got a ways to go.
