    Good for you with the weight gain! I gained 45 with Z & then 22 with Micah & 24 with Tabitha. I started about 10# heavier with M & T than I was with Z, though. Pregnancy weight....fun. :grumble: Some people (like you & I) are just meant to have big babies! All of mine were born before their due dates, too. Don't listen to other people. I got the twins comments a lot with all of them. I just carried them RIGHT out front. People are jerks when it comes to pregnant women sometimes. Are you planning on having your third soon or are you waiting a couple years?

    I got the opposite. People asked how far along I was and when I'd tell them, they'd say, "You're not that big!" I wanted the big baby bump so that always pissed me off.

    I wanted to get to the point where when I was standing in line at a store, people would glance nervously at me thinking I could pop at any moment. No such luck. A few days before Harley was born (She was 9 days early.) I asked my mom how big I looked and she said maybe 7 months. Here's a pic about a week and a half before Harley was born.

    And that was how big I looked at about 20 weeks. I kid you not. I was a HUGE pregnant woman. I'll see if I can dig up pics. I had TONS of braxton hicks contractions with Micah & looked the biggest with him, too. I scared people daily. I'd all of a sudden grab my stomach b/c I'd get these HUGE contractions (that meant nothing) but they'd take my breath away. I cleared lines at the store, I tell ya! LOL

    Looking at that pic again, my back hurts for you. Did she lay into your back?

    My back really started to hurt the last month. But mostly, she just kicked my ribs and gave me heartburn.

    This is the first belly shot I took. I was 25 weeks. I was so excited because I finally looked pregnant. Looking back, I barely did!

    Oy the heartburn. :frown: Pregnancy is such a wonderful thing, but I'm glad I won't be doing the 40 week sentence ever again. Having the kids so close together really took a lot out of me!

    I love the new av, Lori! that baby of yours cracks me up!

    hehe. I love it! You look pregnant! Just not "me" pregnant. LOL That's it...I need to find some pics. I have a bunch from my 1st pregnancy but I hid from the camera after that. :bigsmile:

    I was uncomfortable the last month. People would ask me how I was feeling and I'd say "I'm done." But other than that, I loved being pregnant (even with the morning sickness and heart burn.) I can't wait until I'm growing the 2nd one. Well, I want Harley to be 2 or 3 before #2 is born but you know what I mean. I really loved being pregnant.

    That's her "What the hell are you feeding me?" face from her 1st cereal tasting yesterday. :laugh:

    I did! I got a little bit on my finger. I licked it and about gagged. I should've known. I made it with her formula and I know THAT stinks. I fed her some today and she didn't make that face again. So I'm glad we got the shot yesterday. She would take a bite today and then kinda poke her tongue out. So she didn't really eat too much of it.

    I made Dave take a picture every week or so from 25 weeks on. My mom never had any pics of her pregnancies and I knew I'd want to look back on mine. Plus when else in your life are you HAPPY to gain weight? You want to keep pictures of THAT!

    Harley was 7 lb 3 oz. She was born September 3rd. Even in western PA where winters suck, July and August are hot. I worked in air conditioning, live with central air, and have AC in my car and I was still miserable just walking outside from house to car to work.

    I told Dave I want our 2nd baby born when Harley is about 3 but I do NOT want another September baby. So the 2nd one can't be born past June at the latest. :laugh:

    brace yourselves. 24 weeks pregnant with Micah. Dripping wet from sweat at Zeke's b.day party at the end of July. I think it was like 92 that day. BAH!

    I work in recreation outside during the summer and I was put on light duty due to the weather so for the last 2 months I worked I got a desk job!! I stopped working 3 days before I had ava. Planned c-section so I knew how long I could work.

    I have a bunch from when I was pregnant with Zeke, but I can't find them anywhere! I think they're on my other computer. :grumble: With Micah I just got soooooo big (and I was incredibly emotional with that pregnancy...lots going on) that I didn't want any. Of course I regret it now. :cry:

    and THIS, my friends, is why people stopped taking pregnant pics of me. I think I was about 20 weeks here. No joke. You can see the belly...it just didn't stop. Oh, yeah. This was Micah, too.

    For me, I'd just sat down at home to a late Arby's supper. I just finished my curly fries when I felt like I peed myself. On the way to the hospital, I sat on a towel I'd had in my car for like a month. (It was my 1st baby. I was REALLY prepared.) When we got to the hospital I waddled in with a soaked crotch. Even in my nervousness about labor, I found humor. I told Dave, "This is SO gross!"

    (I feel bad for the other black-teamers who read our baby convo tomorrow. :noway: Sorry guys! :laugh: )

    one thing I noticed about the two pics you have posted they are with FOOD!! Pregnant girls sure like their cakes!:laugh: :laugh:

    LOL Sam! I didn't notice that! HA! My b.day, Doug's b.day, Zeke's b.day & my mom's b.day are all in July...and I'm the baker in the family. LOTS of cakes in July! In the second one I'm like, "don't touch my cake!" but I think that one was Doug's. hehe

    Lori - that's hilarious! My water broke on its own with Zeke at 3am. I thought I peed the bed but shot out of bed so quick, I didn't get any on it! Oh, wait....I was sleeping on the couch... We didn't leave right away, though. I wanted the least amount of time at the hospital as possible! We didn't get there until nearly 11am & he was born at 2:54 pm. With Micah, I was 10cm & they had to break it. Tabitha...*shudder* I don't want to think about. Worst labor of the 3. The mid-husband fromt he hospital (I call him a worse name behind closed doors) had to break it the rest of the way (it just had a leak in it) when I was about 5 cm. I still hope I never see that guy again. I'll punch him in his man business. Seriously.:grumble:
