I officially feel HUGE

Today I am really feeling the burden of a big belly! I get winded climbing out of bed, it hurts to sit down because my ribs are being pushed up and out, I look like I'm 80 when I try to bend over, my back is killing me, if I burp - I almost throw-up (my stomach is in my throat), if I cough or sneeze - I pee my pants (we've already discussed that) ect, ect, ect. I could think of a million other things to complain about, but I won't bore you. Max is in Chicago all week and I was just talking to him on the phone and I said, "I feel so huge today!" His reply was, "Well, you are!" Thanks babe, love ya tons! He told me if I haven't realized it yet, I should except the fact and that it's only going to get bigger. Thanks for keeping me level headed, I need that sometimes! The worst part, I still have 15 1/2 weeks left of growing! Ouch!!!!
Here's a picture I took tonight, I've been taking pictures all along, maybe I'll post them now.


So here's where it all began, this is 4 weeks (3 days after I found out)
Goodbye flat tummy...


6 weeks


10 weeks


14 weeks


16-18 weeks (can't remember!)


20 weeks- I have tons of belly shots from New Zealand, but they are all on Max's computer and I keep forgetting to download them to mine and then he keeps going out of town, so stay tuned, hopefully that post will be soon!

24 weeks (you've already seen the damage)

I know in 15 weeks I'm going to look back at this 24 week photo and think, "I was sooo tiny, what did I have to complain about?" But for now, it hurts! So I'm going to complain!
On a positive note, I get love taps (if kicks and punches can be called that) constantly from this child, I think it's my most active yet. I enjoy it, even the painful ones, because I know it's in there thriving! I like to compare my belly to watching a bag of microwave popcorn popping, you can always see it moving around if you watch closely. Fun times. Now I'm going to take all my meds so I can sleep tonight! Sweet dreams! :)
