Fat and Happy

We've almost made it to the 36 week mark and Mei-mei continues to score 10 out of 10 on her bi-weekly tests!  Yesterday I got the annoying and worrisome "You're so small!" comment again while at the grocery store.  Am I? You can see for yourself by looking at a few of the maternity pics from last week.  I think my belly looks fine for 35 weeks along and the rest of me looks pretty fat as well, especially my face.  I'm hauling around an extra 40 pounds.  Oh well, I'm fat and happy!  And I have an effective weight loss plan.

Q and I both measured our girth last night and I'm sorry to say that Q still has me beat by four inches.  His weight loss plan has not been so effective.  Perhaps it would help if I found a better hiding place for the delicious cookies I baked.

No, this is not us.  Our bellies are WAY scarier.

Seriously - you're not big enough for people?!? I have huge breats and wasn't slim to begin with thanks to IVF, so I think you look much more pregnant than I do even though we're both 35 weeks. And did you see that sentance - we've both made it to 35 weeks!!! SQUEEE!!! :-)

I think you look great! Perhaps I should take a few pics this week, too. =)

36 weeks - amazing! Love the maternity pics - your family is beautiful! And that's hilarious that you both measured your bellies... I may have to do that with the hubs! So very close!

I think you look absolutely beautiful (and, for my two cents, not fat at all!). I'm so happy you've made it this far and that all is going so well for you!!

I think you look great - not fat at all! And I'm qualified to say that because I have known you for a loooong time :) Yay!

HOORAY!
that's funny, but at the same time not, that your husband's belly is bigger. It is always so hard to hide treats adequately enough.
