I look like this now:

I feel like I can’t get much bigger, but I know that I can (and will).

You look great! You may not feel it (or maybe you do…I have never been pregnant, so don;t know!), but you really do look fantastic!

Being pregnant is definitely uncomfortable – especially at the end. But believe me, it won’t soon matter. The sheer joy of a baby will erase all of that in a very short time. Of course, I can’t speak for once they grow up… heh heh.

I think you look wonderful. I had two white maternity shirts and one black like the one you have on and wore them under everything! They were the only shirts that fit me in the end:( You are almost there though!
I love those rings too.

I remember that time (x 2). It ends faster than you think. I also have to comment on your ring. Very cool.

I actually think you look like you’ve lost weight. I mean, of course your belly is bigger, but your arms, hips, face, etc. all look thinner to me. I lost weight while I was pregnant, too. (Not on the scale, but you know what I mean.) All those calories you burn making a baby!

you do look adorable!
but as much as people might say it will go QUICKLY..lol you feel like it will NEVER end! lol or at least i did :)
and to be honest..you look like you’ve lost a little weight (not in the belly) but in other places..cute cute :)

I agree with Jules. The first thing i noticed is that you look thinner and that surprised me because it is supposed to be the opposite!! I swear i am not telling you this just to make you feel better. By the way..the “&” looks like a pregnant woman.. is that why you took the picture there?
Happy pregnancy!!

Holy mother! That girl is getting big. I agree with the other girls (and that happened to me too), you’ve lost weight everywhere else it looks like. That belly has gotten a lot bigger in just two weeks!

Making it Lovely February 17, 2009 at 7:56 pm #
Yes, we’ve picked the name already! I won’t be sharing it on the blog though until she’s arrived. :)
Thanks, everyone. I think I just look smaller in proportion to my bigger and bigger belly. Well, that and my skirt is more form-fitting than the loose dresses I usually wear.
And I love that ring too… it has a bunch of fabric scraps and little baubles hanging off of it.

You look beautiful! :) I love the belly.. I held my son very “in” if that makes any sense and it was SO uncomfortable. So accept that small blessing as you begin to run out of room. :) The ring looks very cool. A close up would be awesome! :D

You look great!!! I love your outfit, I wish there were better clothing options back when I had my son (16 yrs ago). Definitely avoid the urge to take a bath. You will probably get stuck in the tub like I did!!!

Hey, you look great. The last bit of pregnancy is rough, especially physically and emotionally. I have never slept so little or been so on edge, I don’t think. Be good to yourself, relax, and just focus on making it, whatever it takes. So happy for you!

Just think….. soon you’ll be able to pick things up off of the floor without letting out involuntary sounds. I know that’s what I looked forward to with both of my pregnancies.
Echoing everyone else, you look fab, sister.

I’ve been reading your wonderful blog for a while, but this is my first time to comment…I hope if the stork ever finds me, I will look as cute as you!
Also – I loved your recent post on your bedroom and have been working diligently to recreate it for myself. Pink, brown and orange are my absolute favorite colors! Thank you for your creativity and sharing your home with us.

As someone who’s never been pregnant, my first thought on seeing your photo was “ouch!”
You look beautiful – your silhouette is gorgeous.
Good luck with these last few weeks :)

You look Fantastic! …and rather artsy next to the big ampersand. It mirrors you at this stage so beautifully. Was that on purpose?

I, too, noticed the similarity between you and the wall hanging!
You are coming right along and looking stunning. Love the ring!

You look adorable. And slightly bewildered, like how am I supposed to walk around and act normal when there’s a baby growing in here? So cute!

Um, ok, so last time I made this comment, I unintentionally pissed off the person, but here goes anyway!
You are bigger than I was at 40 weeks! Whhhheewww! There. I have said it. Honestly, I had to stick my belly out until 37 weeks in order for anyone to notice I was pregnant. I enjoyed those last three weeks of people rushing to help me SO much. Just two more months before your little bundle gets here! Hang in there and use lots of lotion on that belly.

You look so good for being 32 weeks pregnant! I remember saying I didn’t think I could possibly get any bigger around this time, and yet I think I did! Hang in there!!!

I remember two months before my due date people always looked kind of scared around me, like, “um, are you on your way to the hospital right now?” I was huge, but I’m only 5’1″ and had a 9 1/2 pound baby; there was nowhere for her to go but out.
I know it’s uncomfortable, but enjoy it. You look beautiful!

Are you blowing your belly out?? Just kidding- it’s SO fabulous to get to have a big round happy belly and for once NOT be trying to conceal it!!

I’m right there with you, only 2 weeks behind! It’s amazing that we’ll be getting bigger! I’m hoping your pregnancy goes smoothly. I’m under constant monitoring now but I’m hopeful that everything will turn out well. Good luck!

Just wait – a couple more weeks, and you can make your hubby put your shoes on for you. It’s the little perks that get you through… :^)
