My Pregnancy


So someone requested a belly picture and I promise I will get one up soon, but just not today. Everybody handles pregnancies differently. Some get a belly right away and you can tell they are pregnant from an early stage. I on the other hand, get fatter everywhere else it seems. I have to go up in clothes size and I'm sure people think I just gained some extra holiday weight. I actually just told my ward last week that I was expecting and they were all surprised. I'm not one to just sit in the back and do nothing either. I lead the music in Relief Society and get in front of them every week and they still didn't know. I'm not saying this is a good thing or I'm blessed in this way. I do get a very large belly by the end of my pregnancy. I'm just saying that I can still pass as not being pregnant but trust me, I feel pregnant. I actually wish that I was showing more so I didn't just feel fat. I am 20 weeks along now and we find out on Tuesday what we are having. Any guesses? Note to family: I will not be calling anyone (except maybe our parents) so please don't be offended and just check up on the blog as we will post it here.

BTW, did you know that on average, an elephant's pregnancy lasts 630 days? And we thought we had it bad.

I think it will be a girl!! We will see on Tuesday I guess. Good luck with the ultrasound. I'm sorry you feel fat :( Being pregnant can be so difficult!

I'm already offended!

I'm guessing you will have another girl too. And hopefully your belly will pop out any day now so you have something to show for what you are going through. It's miserable when you feel like a pregnant blob and no one knows you're expecting. XOXO

I totally hear ya!!! This is exactly how I feel, except the past four days I have totally started to show a bit!!! Its nice maybe I will get some extra help from everyone ha! I am feeling it though too, I look at pictures and I feel like my face is huge. I am glad I can relate to someone else! =) Thanks for the elephant statistic, now I have NOTHING to complain about haha!

Gaining weight is rough. It feels better when people can tell that you are pregnant- then you don't feel like you are just getting fat. :) I'm sure that you look much better than you feel. I am guessing that it's another girl- can't wait to find out!
