Belly Measurement!

I'm a little behind on these this pregnancy (what with a toddler and work and a dissertation and all :) ) - so here goes.

Current belly measurement (at 36 and a bit weeks): 44 3/4 inches - I made it to 46 inches two weeks before JJ was due, so sounds right on track (even if I FEEL huger)

Weight: 215lbs (that's a gain of an even 25lbs for the total pregnancy)

Grow baby grow!

I am on self-prescribed bed rest today due to having some nasty cramps this morning and some contractions on top of that. Pretty sure it's just dehydration from the weekend (I tried, but just didn't get enough water in me). Feeling a bit better now, although still nauseated and and achy in my lower back.

How big around are we today?

43.5 inches around! Hooray for the glorious baby belly!

Measurements and Back to the Gym

Called the doc to see if I can start working out again - got the green light! Whoohoo!

Belly measurement today: 41" Boob measurement today: 46"

Baaaaaaaaaaby Belly!

Measured my belly last night at the belly button - 41.5 inches. Yikes! It wasn't that long ago that it was only 29 inches. Say "hello" to the baby belly! My favorite thing right now is for John to come up and rub my belly and say "Baaaaaaaaaaaaby belly" Makes me giggle everytime

Definitely "popped"

Well, it's official - I can't zip up my pants any more. The baby bulge went from hardly a bump to "boom" - hello I'm a belly. Almost overnight, amazing! I need to go by maternity pants right away. Nothing fits that fit last week. What a weird thing!
