Pregnant!!

Well, here I am (the bottom picture) exactly six weeks to the day, almost to the minute, before having Christiana. The top picture is almost exactly four weeks before. These were taken in our house, you can see our work in progress, one is of our kitchen and one is in the family room. I look like I was going to have her the next day!! I would get so many comments from people, like "Are you having twins?" "I bet you are so uncomfortable!" "You must be having a boy because you are sticking out so much!" "You can't even tell you are pregnant from behind". As you can see I am wearing the same shirt in each one because I didn't have many shirts that fit!! A week or two before I delivered Christiana I had to go to the mall and find some more shirts that would be long enough to cover my belly. I knew I had to when my longest maternity shirts weren't covering my belly anymore and some of my small students could see my belly. I basically had to find dresses. I heard a couple walk by me and say, "Oh my gosh, did you see that lady, her belly was sticking out so far." Needless to say, my skin and ab muscles are still recovering. Many of my friends that were pregnant at the same time would say they wished they carried like me and didn't gain weight or expand lengthwise. If they saw my skin they might change their mind! The great thing is that is all worth it and my pregnancy was really good, I wasn't very uncomfortable. Another great thing is that skin is amazing and it is actually recovering.
