24 week belly shot


Actual belly shot at 24 weeks!!! The hand is hiding a new stretch mark :)


Here is the full body shot. I swear the belly is much larger than it actually looks in this picture. I know it doesn't seem big, but it is. I think that I am measuring smaller than the average person at 24 weeks. It's because of that torso and all the room Peyton has from top to bottom. She doesn't have to stick out. It could also be the size of those OVER THE SHOULDER BOLDER HOLDERS! Yeah, 42G and sticking. I am actually looking forward to when my belly sticks out further than my breasts.

I had another first this morning. When I woke up I was laying on my right side. I rolled over to my back to stretch out some (and let things "fall" back into place) and there she was still stuck on my right side. It was the neatest thing. My belly was totally lopsided and I could feel her on my right side. It must have been her butt or her head because it was hard and round!

Also, she's starting to kick much more. Like the kind of kick that stops you in mid-sentence. It's really cute, but catches me off guard. Hopefully some other folks can start feeling her kick. It's still pretty low so it's kind of awkward to say "hey, want to feel below my panty line?" I haven't attempted this yet!

awwww...you're changing so much while we're gone! WOWSERS! You look STUNNING! I'll say it again - nothing is prettier to me than a pregnant woman!!! Okay, maybe I think my daughter is pretty adorable, but other than that, a prego belly is the best! I can't WAIT to feel the princess kick!

You are three weeks ahead of me! Your belly looks great!!

I feel my little girl kick all the time, and you're right, it does stop you mid-sentence! It's an unexpected shock sometimes!

I haven't been able to make my husband sit down with his hand on my belly long enough to feel her kick yet. Hopefully soon! My mom felt her kick on her birthday though!

You'll notice as you get bigger that people don't even ask... They will just walk up and start rubbing your belly! At least that's what I've seen and heard. Luckily haven't experienced it yet!!!!!!!

1. You look great.

2. I am with Rachel, I LOVE pregnant bellies, especially if I know the person.

3. I can not even comment on your boobs because it is shocking! I remember the excitement when my belly FINALLY surpassed them :)
But where do you find 42 Gs? (FYI- my friend who has a 6 month old and is nursing is in Is. Seriously.)

4. Stramgers WILL come up and touch your belly. It is awkward and I always wanted a Don't Touch shirt with an arrow to my belly.

5. Duh! You look GREAT! Happy and healty and just a cute little tummy. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Girls for all the positive and funny comments. I think it's more interesting to track the size of my boobs than my belly :)
