28 Weeks, still standing


So, the "Wow, you must be due any day now!" and "Don't have the baby in the restaurant!" comments are getting a bit embarrassing. Even when I went for my seven-month OB appointment, the nurse said "Whoa!".

My doctor was more reassuring. She did say I'm measuring almost three weeks further along than I should be, but she's not going to worry about it yet.

Maybe Kickbaby (as Berry has named him) is just showing off. He doesn't seem at all concerned that, with only two months of pregnancy left, his mother has had to drag her reluctant self out and buy bigger maternity clothes.

I'm hoping – in vain, I know – that all this growing will slow down soon. I don't know how much bigger I can handle...

  6. Oh, you look so beautiful!
    Sorry about all the embarrassing comments. I'm sure many of us have been there!
    Just take it easy, and enjoy your last few weeks of peace!

  7. Oh my gosh, you look adorable! You do not look very big to me. I think people just feel like they need to say something and it's not always the most flattering something. Best of luck to you!

  8. Look on the bright side: you're carrying all that baby weight in your belly and nowhere else from the look of things!

    They didn't have cute shirts like that when I was pregnant. :-(

  9. My pregnancy was the exact same way. I got so sick of the "are you having twins?" comments.

    My baby was 10 pounds though!

  10. Oh, it wasn't so long ago I heard similar comments. Also include "Are you sure you aren't having twins?" uh, yeah.... hilarious.

    Well you look like you're handling it better than I- judging from your outfit the weather is nice so that's got to help a good deal.

  11. You're doing it in style though Helen! Looking forward to seeing the Kickbaby (aww!) belly in another few weeks. Sounds like Berry is looking forward to meeting her little bro :)
