[week 24]


Life is going well over here in and out of utero-land. I had my last every-4-weeks prenatal appointment, from the next one on it's bumped up to every 2 weeks!.... because I'll be in my 3rd trimester!!! Next appointment I also do my 1 hour glucose tolerance test. Man, I want to pass that test. If I don't I suppose it's with good reason. I am measuring well according to my midwife, so all is peachy!

Can I just mention one little teeny tiny minuscule gripe?! People sometimes tell me I look like I have a small bump...not showing enough for the number of weeks that I am. I think they mean well, but I can't help but have a little fear pop up in my head...what if my babe isn't growing like she should?! Yikes. Should she be bigger? That is a possibility in pregnancy. Or should people just think twice about what they are telling a pregnant woman who is whacked out on hormones?! I think I look like a blimp... a bountiful child growing blimp. But perhaps that's just me!

  1. You are such an adorable pregnant person :) p.s. don't worry about your bump size! I am sure your little girl is perfectly sized in there!

  2. i have to say - when i was preggo and people told me i looked itty bitty (those comments stopped as soon as I hit the 29 week mark...by then everyone thought i looked like a blimp too) I LOVED IT. Hahaha...I'm not sure there is anything a pregnant woman likes to hear in reference to their "size" - it's all too touchy.

    I will say this...you are ADORABLE...and I love that you take your pic in the same place every week :-)

  3. i think that people should think twice- when my best friend was pregnant, random people would always stop and comment and go into long drawn out stories- i know they mean well, but sometimes it comes across as a little off putting. everybody's body is SO different- which is a beautiful thing. so no woman is going to show the same way... you look great, and sounds like you feel great- so that little spud is surely happy and cozy!

  4. If it's any consolation, I think you've grown a lot since last week. Don't listen to others.

  5. Everyone's baby abs belly grows differently, people shouldn't make you worry. It is all based on their opinion. One people might think you are tiny another might think you are huge! I just looked at my 24 week picture, I was about the same size and I was growing two! People thought I looked huge! You look like a beautiful pregnant person. I hope you pass the glucose test too. The restrictions were hell from me! I love food too much and lived on ice cream and oreos for most of my pregnancy!!! Good luck :) my advice and my moms who is a nurse, have an egg and some cheese the morning of the test anything too sugary will not help the cause, but I am sure you know that ;)

  6. you are beautiful! take anything people say now and after the baby is born with a grain of salt. Well meaning people can drive a preggo and new mommy crazy! i think it is the hormones and the lack of sleep that do us in.
