37 Weeks & Counting!

2012

I wholly realise that horizontal stripes don’t flatter burgeoning bellies and wide hips – but it was one of the only clean tops that covers my bum when I wear leggings, so there you have it. I’ve almost officially given up. I’ve realised that although I own quite a few sexy maternity dresses, there comes a point where you no longer feel sexy. Instead you start feeling what you resemble, which is a bloated whale of a mess. See my face? How big is it? I promise I haven’t stuffed cotton balls in my cheeks, but there they are. In all their puffy glory.

For a split second I considered sculpting my cheekbones out to mimic Victoria Beckham’s hollowed-out look – but then I remembered that the rest of me would still be in the picture. HA. And the only mirror in my house big enough to take a picture of me is in the bathroom. If I was too lazy to clean out the toys from the tub, I highly doubt I’d be in such high spirits as to ‘hollow’ out my cheeks and suck in that ginormous belly.

I’ve received my c-section date: May 10th, 2012!

Our little baby boy will be here, ready to take on the world!

Am I ready?

You look fantastic! The end of pregnancy is full of so many treats, isn’t it? I was a huge puffy mess near my due date with my last bebe. I felt like I just wanted to lay around all day long, but sometimes even laying around was uncomfortable. Oh dear! Can’t wait to hear the big news!

You look BEAUTIFUL! In fact, the first thing I thought when I saw the picture was “Holy smokes! She looks awesome! How come I look bloated all over already?!” LOL You really do look awesome!
