18 Week Photo

from JoeUser Forums

I'm now 18 weeks pregnant...2 weeks away from the halfway point.  Time seems to be passing very quickly.  It's exciting to think that we will soon have a new baby in the house.


I have been taking a picture of my side profile every 2 weeks to see the changes.  I did the same thing with my pregnancy with Isabella, and afterwards it was really neat to look back at the pictures.


The baby is in a stage of rapid growth, so I expect to "pop" soon and look very obviously pregnant.  My tummy has definitely grown, but I think I am still in that stage where people who don't know me might just guess that I am a plain old fatty (which I am, but I'm pregnant, too!). 

I do NOT have a supermodel pregnant tummy.  I have killer stretch marks from my other pregnancies.  But you know what, it's a part of me, and a lot of other women have them too.  Maybe people should get used to seeing them. :p 


Here I am at 18 weeks into my 4th pregnancy:


22 weeks to go!

You look fabulous.  I loved being pregnant.  I think it's so exciting to know what's growing inside of you. 

As for the model tummy, those women aren't real.  I always hated those little basketball under my shirt pregnant women (maybe I was just jealous?).  You could tell I was preggers from any angle - lol.

Boudica: Thanks!

I do love it, especially when the m/s ends. It's about 95% gone now and I am HAPPY!

I definitely have the jealousy for the cute little pregnant women, although now I have noticed a lot of women are proud of NOT showing. There's actually a new term called "pregorexia" describing women who over-exercise and under-eat to stay skinny while pregnant.

Not me! I like having a big, round tummy. I think I feel best about myself when I'm like 7 or 8 months pregnant, haha!

BFD: :)

I love how the flash has completely blocked out your face.  Very cool...  Pregnant women look so alive and vibrant and smell awesome too.
