I keep thinking I look the same, but I look back at pictures from just last week and am shocked at how fast I am growing. Because it's happening so fast, I don't have time to mentally adjust my self-image and am constantly shocking myself in mirrors, glass doors, etc. Who is that big girl? Oh yeah, that's me.
I am starting to get the random comments in grocery stores and in town: "Oh, you're almost there!" Actually, no, 2 more months. But thanks for the encouragement.
Luckily no one has taken to rubbing or touching the belly. Just blatant staring, which I expect in public. But at work, my co-workers see me everyday. It's not a surprise, but they still continue to have conversations with eyes averted to my belly. Yes, I know, it surprises me too how big it has grown. At least she'll be a healthy big girl?
Last week:
Yesterday:
It's time to say good-bye to these little guys:
But really, I'm not complaining. I feel lucky to have such an easy pregnancy. The worst symptom has been the blow to my self-esteem. But I have no sickness, no heartburn, no headaches, no issues to speak of at all. I sleep well and have relatively good energy for the amount of weight I have added. The only thing I have started to notice is achy joints, back, and reduced lung capacity which have slowed me down quite a bit. But we girls get by.
Here is this week's official photo:
Any guesses on birth weight yet?
