feeling HUGE

So, i am in need of some positive re-enforcement. While at the gym yesterday i saw this cute little pregnant girl who from behind you couldn't tell she was pregnant. I am guessing she was about 6 or 7 months. ALL BELLY. I left depressed, as i am NOT ALL BELLY. 2nd time around my hips got wider, waist got thicker, butt feels larger and yes there is definately a belly there as well. I feel much different this time around. I spend many hours in the gym each week, eat very healthy (besides a few treat splurges once a while) and still don't feel like a "glowing pregnant woman". Who else felt this way with the 2nd? Its crazy. HEnce, the NO picture blog. Maybe next time.....

I can't image it on you! Especially because you are being so good! I felt that way my first pregnancy so I'm sure my second will be even scarier!

I'll bet that 10 other girls at the gym went home feeling the same way after seeing you. I think that all pregnant woman feel the same no matter what. You look great and you are amazing! Hang in there!!

I think i need to diagnose you with a little bout of "head crazytosis"....yes, this is a disease for people who only have a problem in their head, but it really doesn't exist!!! Not that I know from experience or anything since I have never been prego, but from the pictures you have put up you look absolutely FANTASTIC - in fact, better than half of us that aren't prego, so I have to agree I think Mary is right when she said 10 others probably went home feeling as you did after seeing you!!!! YOu are the cutest, and I was wanting to see more pictures of you and your cute bump!!! Also, loved the pictures of Owen's b-day and the fact he wanted BUGS on his cake!!! lol
xoxoox luv you, hang in there, i am coming in to town nov. 3 -- yeah!!!!

Being a mommy and prego isn't easy, but it will be worth it when you see your little babe. Your family is just darling

I agree with mary. You are such a cute girl but this could mean you are having a girl. Girl's take all the mom's good looks...but my boy is this time around too. So hang in there. You are gorgeous!

Just remember with Izzy people thought I was having twins when I was 6 months along, and she was my first. Can't wait to see how big I get with number 2

Whatever you are the cutest person I know--- I always wish I was as cute and stylish as you! So I think that you have repressed memories of how you might have felt the first time around because I am only on baby number one and I am feeling like a blimp- I have just decided to think it is funny!

Linds, you have got to be kidding me! When I saw you a couple weeks ago, the first thing that came to my mind was how fantastic you look pregnant! You are too cute, and remember it's all worth it. These little one's are so amazing and worth every bit of weight put on! It comes off!

Linds I am feeling your pain! I work with a girl who is 2 weeks ahead of me, but she carries her baby more in her back so she looks way tinier than me who carries low. I feel like a giant blimp everytime I work with her. Ha Ha. I think it's mostly just us pregnant people that feel huge, and other people think we look "cute". But I have for sure been feeling the way you have been feeling lately! I keep thinking what on EARTH am I going to look like in 3 months right before she pops out!
