re: Official June 2013 Due Date Buddies (Pt. 3)

Hi! Im Amy Cook. Im due June 21   and am having a little girl.

Quoting Ayzya:" I actually mentioned that I was going to do more walking but it was the nurse I was talking to on the ... [snip!] ... it could move up and out of the way so I think I just need to stay hopeful. I just.. have a tendency to freak out too much. xD"

Well smurf lol that sucks! But hopefully it gets better and you can start exercising again. 

Quoting LayLu:" I have no idea what that even means, did they not really give you any info? Is it something you should ... [snip!] ... first but I think walks would at least be okay. And don't worry about the weight gain girl, I've already gained 30 lbs. "

I feel like i have gained a ton.. my poor back hates me. people say i dont look that big.. but i had 2 random people come up and ask how far along i was.. i kinda was hoping i wouldnt have to deal with that lol

Quoting cowgirl mama *its a boy!*:" I feel like i have gained a ton.. my poor back hates me. people say i dont look that big.. but i had ... [snip!] ... big.. but i had 2 random people come up and ask how far along i was.. i kinda was hoping i wouldnt have to deal with that lol"

Hahah well I'm 23 weeks along and the other day while I was shopping for baby clothes the lady in the store says, "No going into labor here!" And when I told her I wasn't that far along she told me I looked like I was ready to pop. 

Welcome Amy! You're just a few days ahead of me.   More for team pink, that's awesome.

And yeah I am surprised that my stomach hasn't rounded out completely yet. I just look fat, but I don't think people feel certain that i'm actually pregnant yet.

These are some terrible shots I took of myself but I was trying to squeeze into my gown for Chinese New Year and obviously couldn't zip up my pants lol so it showcases just a big stomach but not necessarily a pregnant looking one..








So at least you ladies look pregnant and actually have people recognizing that you aren't just overweight. I've been keeping my hand on my belly as I walk around just to emphasize that i'm pregnant lol.. I'm so embarassed.. I wish my stomach would round out perfectly already.

My big belly..



Excuse my blurry face lol my mirror's high up and I was having to balance on my tippy toes while taking this pic hahah.

lol you look great. I'm jealous of all the cute bumps on here.

Ugh I feel huge and I keep convincing myself it's not all baby weight, I'm just getting fat lol I'm hoping that's just my paranoia talking..

HAHA! Im 24 weeks along and this weird lady came up to me and does this weird hand movements above her belly and said "Girl you need a sign that says BABY!!" the way she said baby came out like a demon i didnt know if i should step back or laugh at this weird lady.. then again she was asking someone about smelling dog food so idk lol

lmao
Weirddd..  

You know its the baby! I think you girls look healthy. We just want to be hard on ourselves because we are hormonal is all. Although we should be enjoying it and basking in the glow, I know it's too hard to not be self conscious, but we all could obviously use the less stress. I say if we have to do all the work of labor and baby care and picking up after the husbands amongst the millions of other things, nobody has the right to tell us how we should be looking. So be proud of those bellies ladies! You know it's a blessing. Small price to pay for such a beautiful gift of life and love.
