Well, the important thing is that the baby is happy.

A lot of that is because it's your third baby too. Both my sister and I noticed that our body 'remembered' being pregnant very quickly with the third baby, and we got bigger much faster. So it's normal. *grin* Baby's happy - and that's want counts.

Third?! My second pregnancy my body didn't forgot! I must be lucky. You look good hon! Don't let anyone tell you different.

*forget* that is.. :\ hehe

Every woman shows sooner and looks bigger with each pregnancy that she has- even skinny chicks (and they usually show even sooner and show even bigger than heavier women).

Still doesn't make it any easier to look at yourself in the mirror and go "holy fuck! If I am this big now what the hell am I going to look like at 8 months!?" I avoided all mirrors during my last (3rd) pregnancy because it seemed that as soon as I saw the two lines on the HPT, my belly poofed out and I looked 5 months pregnant. Ugh- can't wait to see what pregnancy #4 will look like.. ;-)

I know you are always down about your size, but I have to say, even pregnant, your shape looks damn fine in my eyes.

thank you! I know I'm down about my size, but truuuuuuuust me, that diagram was totally me TRYING to be funny.

It's ok to laugh.

I thought it was funny!

No doubt, it was hilarious. Although, I kind of expect that now since just about every-other post on your blog gives me a some giggles. Just thought you could probably stand to hear the first thought that went through my mind before I ever peeked at the chart. You are adorable and quite a nice size, in my opinion.

That is NOT huge for 4 months. Especially with a 3rd pregnancy. You look great...with the pregnancy I am the same way I am showed earlier (my 3rd as well) In fact I had some rude comments at 5 months asking if I was due that week...grrr.

Yeah hard to tell who had 3 hours sleep...shoulda read -with this pregnancy I am the same way I showed earlier....

I am laughing so hard at your pretty diagram!

you are so adorable. you really, really are.

Well at least you haven't lost your fashion sense...

White Bra...Black Shirt?..C'mon now. I even know better than that.

In my defense... I had just bought that shirt and was trying it on. I wouldn't actually wear it out with a white bra!

Sorry but, I didn't see the belly. I was too busy staring at your rack.

Awww, lookit you! You're gonna have a baby! :) I love baby bellies. :)

And your diagram made me laugh. Nearly out loud, even.

You look just fine...hell, don't feel too badly, that's what I looked like on my FIRST pregnancy! (First and last I might add).

I gained 80 pound with that little shit and went from a size 5 to a size 16 in 9 month. The stretch marks didn't get *too* out of control on my stomach, but my ass, boobs, thighs, hell even my armpits took a beating for ****'s sake. :)

So let it be known, by looking at these pictures, I think you look absolutely great, and you don't look at ALL like you started out overweight.

Yvonne, my dad told me that if my job was to shovel shit I should concentrate on the shoveling and not on the shit. Well, your job is to have a baby and that grows your abdomen. So concentrate on that baby and not on that abdomen. After the little one is here you can drop that extra weight and get back to your formerly buff self in a few of months.
I was away for a few days and got behind in reading so let me say this about your post on your (former) church. That type church is perfect...for some people. Some must have that structure around them but not everyone. Find a good church that believes in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit but without so many structures. They do exist and there are many who are very accepting of people who are not into leagalisms. I wish you success in your search.

i love the baby! it's so cute!

Your Baby is a Girl!

With diagrams like that, you should teach sex ed. :)
