I think I'm in that phase of pregnancy where I always feel tired, actually I'm not sure I ever left it.

I think I need to find pictures of me where you can see my body from Month 3 and Month 5.




Me, Toko-san and [livejournal.com profile] becroberts , believe it or not I was pregnant in this picture, almost done with week 5! :D (this is technically in Month 2)


Me, [livejournal.com profile] yanchamonkey and [livejournal.com profile] muscatlove from almost done with week 17, believe it or not I was nearly done with 4 months of pregnancy in this pictures!


Me and [livejournal.com profile] dilettantka



Me and [livejournal.com profile] hinoai

There pictures were both taken when I was almost done with week 24 in Month 6! Notice how much larger my belly looks. and my boobs ;;_;; For those curious, according to my doctor I only weigh 1 pound more than I weighed in the first picture as of my doctor's appointment last week.


Me! From yesterday, which was the start of Week 28 and the first day of the 7th Month and the start of Trimester 3! :D

Some of the glow might be sunburn >>; I had a pretty good one for at least half of my trip to Japan, but I'm doing much better now because I have my parasol. :D

I think my belly totally looks pregnant now! BTW are we still getting together either Friday or Sat?

Sat should be good for me. :) I just need to figure out if I need to do some grocery shopping in the morning fast, since I know we are probably not making it to Coventry this week end. I think I have a family get together. (I also might look into doing some tomorrow, I don't know depends on how I feel post my glucose test. ~.~)

I have some fresh veggies but I never know how long they will last. I'm trying out some corn I bought in MA on Sunday.

I know, I'm pretty happy with it! My Mom took it and I think I'm actually doing pretty well with the pregnancy now. That and I think my sunburn is mostly gone so I can go back to my normal ivory complexion lol

Tomorrow is my glucose test. meh.

*hugs*

Yeah, I heard the same thing too. I can't remember what week I was in that picture, so here is one I remember for sure...40 weeks (Noah was born at 41 weeks 2 days):

BTW I wonder if that old wive's tale about how you carry affecting the sex of the baby is true, just using you and I has examples lol. As you can see I carried extremely low when I was pregnant with Noah who is obviously a boy lol, and you are carrying rather high and you are having a girl! So between the two of us anyways, the old wive's tale holds true that low=boy and high=girl.

Ah well, I'd really love to know when the other picture was and how close it is to where I am since I like comparing myself to other people. It's a bit harder with a picture from week 40 since I'm not going to be there for quite some time yet lol

I always think of myself as carrying low. ^^;

I hear how you carry is an old wive's tale much like a lot of other things, like your complexion etc. Supposedly a heart rate over 140 is also a sign of a girl which happens to be true in my case but not always.

Maybe the other one was something like 30-35 weeks? I found some that are actually labeled for you:

http://figured.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/21-weeks-blue-tracksuit.jpg

Yeah it's definitely just an old wive's tale, I just meant that for us it seems to be true lol.

IMO you are carrying high, but not like, super duper high lol. Just compared to how I was you are ^^;;.

Ohhh thanks, it will be interesting to see what I look at week 30 and I think I wasn't showing as much at week 21.

I'm reading through old wive's tales now, some are true for me, my legs are thinner now actually, others are not, my skin looks great! lol

No problem :). Once I started showing it kind of went from 0 to 60 lol.

I guess the odds of it are that some old wive's tales will end up being true lol.

You are looking so cute!

Annika is a Swedish name and feels common here in MN. Did you ever read Pippi Longstocking? Pippi lives in Villa Ville Kula with a pretty wild garden and her pet monkey and a horse on the porch. Some ladies from "social services" come to investigate how she is living (alone)... she has lots of adventures and fools a lot of intrusive adults. A brother & sister live near Pippa and play with her and have adventures with her, but they live mostly conventional lives. The neighbor girl's name is Annika.

good books - around third grade or so, more for girls.

Hahaha, I feel like I am growing a lot, but I think some of it is in my head. I'm just now pregnant looking vs before when someone had to know.

It's still hard to believe I am in week 28!

I have to scan the one from my cousin's wedding since I think that was from Month 5. I know I do tend to take a picture for each month so I can get it in my pregnancy journal.

The month 3 picture doesn't show my belly though, not that there as anything to see yet lol

Thank you! *blush* I just think I'm starting to look pregnant which is very happy.

I've never read Pippi. I read a weird selection of children's literature, I think the only really girly books I read were Frances Hogdson Burnett.

I figured Annika was some sort of Scandinavian name and that was why it was used in MN. But it just goes to show what is considered exotic and normal can vary based on common ethnicities in an area. "Chaya" is one of my sister's Hebrew's names and "Miriam" is one of my cousin's, and if you don't know a lot of Jewish people I am sure both names sound weird. (And Chana is my grandmother's middle names in Hebrew, mine is the less popular Chava.)

That is such a cute dress in the last picture! See, those first few pics, I'd never have suspected pregnancy. (Well, in the first one, even you didn't know...) Even the one with Eda, because of the angle it's not really visible. I can't believe it's only a few months left to go! *hugs*

*hugs* I can't believe how far along I am! One of my friends from high school had her daughter early @ 30 weeks, and that is like 2 weeks from now!

I'm glad you like the dress, I adore it! :D It's one of my favorite pregnancy outfits. I got it for $20 or $25 at H&M and I love wearing it. I have a few different colored tank tops I change it up with since it's a little too v-necked for my to wear it alone. The one with Eda and Jamie are only a few minutes apart, it's all in the angle. XD;

But I hope to try to take pictures on a more regular basis now to show off my expanding body lol

Awwwww, I look particularly unpregnant in that picture since it was pretty deep into the pregnancy weight loss.

Oh I am sure I will be hating the back aches, I bought a belly band to help, but it's so warm! I am not so worried about my ribs breaking, there is still plenty of room for belly growth with me. I don't want to be so much bigger, I just wanted to cross the line to where strangers might know I am pregnant. As I learned yesterday, in the right clothes I can still easily hide my pregnancy. >>;; I'll have to do two pictures where what I wear either hides or emphasizes the bump.

BTW did the person you work with find out what she is having????

The teen age Miriam we know goes by Mimi. (she doesn't like Miriam so much it seems... probably feels old).

We just met someone yesterday who has a teen Miriam who goes by Mimi, but I always think first of my cousin who uses Miriam. She's 20 or 21 now and just had a daughter, Tehmema.
