my strangely pointed belly...its so funny looking from this angle...i tell people, "i'm having a football, it must be a boy!"
keep in mind i'm sick and overtired as an excuse for that weird look on my face...
i have been able to eat ok lately although i have pretty bad heartburn some nights...almost makes me stop snacking in the evening...so far i am still having a slow weight gain which i am very pleased with, although there's still time to get huge!!! last week several men made remarks along the lines of: "WHAT?!!! 8 more weeks! How many are in there?! Are you sure its not twins!? WOW!!" to which i responded, "I'm going to get ALOT bigger." or "Oh, sorry, i mean, "what are you talking about? i'm not pregnant."?"
whatever...thats the plight of the pregnant woman...other people's comments. of course, my lovely massage therapist said "i can't believe you only have 8 weeks left, i mean you're all baby! All up front."

Hey Amanda, hope you feel better soon. That's a pretty cool belly I must say, very unique! I wonder what makes every woman's prego belly different. Is it the position of the baby? I don't know.
WOW... how is that baby laying? that's amazing. aren't the unsolicited comments about one's pregnant belly ANNOYING?! maybe still ok in the first pregnancy, but thereafter i found myself avoiding people who might comment for fear that i might just SNAP. it's so wierd that during what can be a very sensitive time, it is culturally permissible for anyone to say whatever they want about your shape. odd odd. no matter. you have another BABY coming! YAY!
well, at least i can make fun of that crazy belly of mine!
ya, today in the dr.'s office, this preg lady said to the receptionist, "wow, you're really big already!" and i said "thats not very nice!"
but she was due in 2 weeks so i guess she gets grumpy points allowance :D for discomfort.
i guess it's possible that baby is transverse, do you know which way he/she is pointing? it's pretty easy to feel it for yourself, round and hard is the head, round and squishy is the bum, and all those little pointy things are arms and legs :)
but anyways, it's really irrelevant to strangers, but happens to be one of those things that every stranger feels compelled to comment on, huh?
Yeah, definitely more pointy than the last pregnancy. Interesting.
