Soooooo
At 24 weeks...
Just noticed tonight that I have popped again seemingly over night!
I am so off balance lol
I seem to resemble more closely to a beached whale or hippo these days!
Its very strange to me. I had a 26 inch waist before I got pregnant (my average standard MMA cage fighting sturdy frame)
And now you ask?
Well I couldn't tell you because I refuse to touch a measuring tape lol
But best guess its closer to 40 since last time it was over 30.
But I am embracing it the best I can!
Who else has noticed that they are really starting to pop?
Anyone still attempting to "hide" their "bump" or "hippo cushion" as I lovingly call it.
How do oh feel about your new frontal counter balance?
What does your bump look like?

I can no longer hide it at all even if I wanted too!!
I have a love hate relationship with my lack of flexibility and inability to touch my toes! I know my lungs are not enjoying it at all! I love it because it means I am another step closer to my baby boy!
My hippo cushion looks like a basketball under my shirt lol. Seriously I am round! And I have an outie now! So weird! I have yet to develop a linea negra or (knock on wood) stretch marks. I have a tattoo on my lower right hip too that seems to be fairing rather well. My bump is all baby!

If your comfortable post some pics of those b-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l baby bellys!!
Here's me...

Your belly is so cute!! I love it!

Mine if someone doesn't know me/know I'm pregnant they probably just think I gained weight. I think it's cute because I can see the difference in myself. But bare it looks weird because I still have my "B-Belly" crease. My button hasn't popped yet.

I don't have a bare picture and am not really comfortable with it since it's still kind of flabby. But you look great!!!

[HippieLove]

You look beautiful hun, you are all belly I have my moments, my belly seems to fluctuate, I'm so tiny this time compared to my other pregnancys though.. Maybe similar to my first but I was alot skinnier at the start compared to my 2nd and 3rd so that could be why. I haven't taken a recent belly pic I will soon and post it.

I've started waddling. And grunting and groaning when I get up from a chair.
This post made me want to do a 6 week/26 week comparison. *shakes head*

[TuckrLeesMommy]

Awe! How cute!
Isn't it amazing tho what the human body can do?
I mean there is a mini person in there growing and moving right now!
Im still fascinated by that concept lol which is Probably why I haven't had to many objections to losing my in shape cage fighting body (yet)
My objections are with my clothes for not working with me lol!

I too have begun waddling and grunting and making all kind of weird goofy sounds when doing things that are totally involuntary lol! Everyone seems to get a kick out of it tho.

Very cute! I'm still not showing all that much! But I'm finally starting to "pop" a little

[georgiabrit]

I noticed the other day that i now have the pregnant WADDLE! Definitely popping way out there, with lots more room for growth, so i know it's just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger till people start saying "oh my goodness haven't you had that baby yet??"

[newmommysarah]

haha i think i grew a month preganter overnight last week, there really is no hiding it anymore
i went form this at 22 weeks....


....to this at 23 weeks!

I think your belly is darling.

[MosaicWife]

I think I'm faring pretty well for my third kid. I won't be able to update my belly shots till I get my laptop fixed but I took one at 26 weeks at the doctor's office last week and put it on FB. I don't think I've grown much since then. I was able to fit in a pair of size 11 pants yesterday, with the rubber band trick of course.

[aarafko]

What a cute belly!

I went from this at 5 weeks to this at 26 weeks.

[TuckrLeesMommy]

Oh my goodness just went thru my pics and i found this! I had almost forgotten what I looked like! This is normally what I looked like before I got pregnant! Amazingly I'm alright with my bulbous transformation lol. How I feel after on the other hand...well we will see!
So this was me yesterday (same pic as above)


And this was me before


Big big change! Gosh now I really feel like a hippo! You can see how my tattoo on my hip used to almost be hidden be my jeans lol now its barely covered.

[Sherry777]

You have a great body before and now!

[junie22]

You looked awesome before, but your bump is totally awesome now. And you will get back into shape after the baby.

I also am carrying all out front and can't believe how big my belly got so fast. Here's my 4-week and my 24-week. I'm only up 11 pounds, so I really feel like 80% is just right there in my belly! I'm embracing the bump.

[TuckrLeesMommy]

I love my bump I embrace it. I am literally all belly! All out front!
Does anyone else have balance issues too? I waddles and almost topple sometimes lol my center of gravity has shifted dramatically lol

You are too cute by the way
All these beautiful bellys
As great as I looked before, there is just something beautiful and amazing about a pregnant body. I thought they were cute before I got prego. Now I think it's doubly true!
