Growth Spurt

I'm not sure if its normal but it seems I woke up today exponentially larger. My first hint was when I sat to put my socks on and had to struggle to reach my foot. Then Jack saw me and gasped. Its a beautiful thing of course, to grow, but I'm wondering if scientists at NASA are wondering who ate Jupiter:
Feeling mighty full-term looking despite two more months to go. (knock on wood)(salt over shoulder)(insert superstition here)

Incidentally, was watching a show on Kangaroos. [our Bravo channel got canceled] They get to watch their babies and cuddle while they gestate them. Having major pouch envy.

  2. it's weird how that happens, you don't notice your growth for weeks and then all of a sudden you look in the mirror and your like "WHOA". but you look great, i don't think you look too big at all, you look just right!!

  3. I exploded at 32 weeks. Maybe I should post my belly shots a little bigger rather than as one teeny weeny collage. Had almost nothing showing till 22 weeks, then things got a little poochier, and then between 31 and 32 weeks, all of a sudden the belly was there. Or maybe the abs finally gave up the ghost?
    Glad to see sunflower is thriving!

  5. You look amazing!! Congrats congrats. Looks like you are wearing jeans in this photo - are they super low rise, or do you have a belly band? Just wondering for the future - you look great!

  6. LOL, I think I got bigger over the weekend too!! I asked my husband last night if it was just me or if I looked bigger and his eyes got wide and he said "No, I think you grew."

    I am feeling LOTS of hiccups and when he moves, he MOVES, like kick off/shove off swimming.

    Your belly looks great though!! I seem to grow rounder and not out. *sigh*

  9. You are so beautifully pregnant! Thanks for posting the pic, it's adorable. I'm thinking the whole overnight thing has to be the way it goes because if I keep not growing at this rate, baby is going to be a little cramped (as will be my lungs and other organs). So glad all is as it should be - hope you're enjoying your new look!

  10. You look adorable -- not huge at all! (Although I have my 41-week-sized belly for reference.) :)

  11. Love it!

    And totally understand, I feel *huge* and remember waking up one morning and feeling that it happened over night. Everyone around me is full of comments, and while they're kind - It bugs me that no one blinks when I lie about my due date (saying it's Friday instead of 3 weeks from Friday) - based on my size, it's believable!
