Yesterday I was 34 weeks along and at my next appt. I'll be 36 weeks and into weekly appt. schedule. I love weekly appt. towards the end but it's a love hate thing because you usually get checked which I hate. Anyway I had to stay outside yesterday afternoon while Shar pulled the weeds because Marcelus wanted to be out there with Shar but Sharrid couldn't watch him good enough to make sure he didn't go into the road or anything. It was hot so after a while, I was dying and decided to put my bathing suit on. I wanted Sharrid to take pictures of me with it on anyway because I'm sick of the pictures not giving me full credit for this nasty low as it can go belly! My swimsuit is not Maternity, I don't have one but it's a Tankini so it worked, I just couldn't keep the top down well. Ha Ha. I must say that although I'm white as a ghost, my body aside from the belly looks pretty normal. I tan really well, just never get the chance anymore. Yesterday at Duderbugs while we were walking out, someone I don't even know yelled from a nearby bench "You're having another boy, aren't you?" and I said yes, and she said "yeah I knew it, you're carrying SO low!" and all I could say was "I know". Everyone at church says this to me every Sunday, you know I get the regular when are you due question...but mostly comments about how low I am carrying. At the rate I'm going, next pregnancy I'll be carrying between my legs! I wanted pictures in the swimsuit because when I wear clothes, the great majority of my belly is in my pants, it's not fair, it's like hidden. Speaking of pants, yesterday I wore a green pair of Maternity pants, and after I got them on (I was not about to try to get another pair on) I said to Sharrid that this was the last time I was going to be able to wear these...that's how low I'm carrying, when a pair of Maternity pants don't fit you anymore, you know that's not normal. I have not boughten any Maternity clothes this pregnancy and have had very little to work with. My mom got me a pair of jeans and 2 long sleeved shirts thank goodness, those pants have a hard time staying up too! I've decided though for the last few weeks I'm going to go to Walmart or something and buy a few T-shirts out of the boys section...oh, one little tidbit from my appt. I'm measuring a centimeter big, so she said it wasn't that big of a deal but I'm measuring at 35 weeks, not 34. Well, it's a big deal to me. A better chance of going early!

You are a brave woman! I'm just like you... I carry VERY low, but I did it with all 4 of my pregnancies and I have one girl in there... so, you never know.... I've gotten all the same comments as you about how low the belly is. By the time I got to my 3rd and 4th pregnancy, I had to use one of those belly belts for support. They are the BEST! They seem like they would be uncomfortable, but they are just like wearing a good support bra... makes a world of difference in how you feel at the end of the day!
forgot about those. i am so getting one next time!
Yeah those are great! I got one with Levi and it really helped, although it itches a little- I suggest wearing it over your undies. Yeah you look normal besides that huge low belly! Haha. I don't think I'd be brave enough to post myself in a swimsuit- pregnant or not!
Yeah, I carried low with Matthew and Hannah so not necesarily a boy thing. Those maternity belts do help though. I'm with Connie, I wouldn't even post pictures of myself not pregnant in a swimsuit, but you look great other than that big belly!
If you just cut off your big tummy, you would look exactly like you always do! That's insane. Who gets pregnant and doesn't change body shape. NOT ME!!!
yeah I actually think my body changed more with Marce, I had more "fat back" as I call it and my face got pretty chubby! Remember mom? haha
You are all baby!!! You're still just as skinny as I remember you, but with a pregnant belly. I'm so excited to "meet" Phoenix (through pictures).
You are one Brave Mama! You look fabulous! Wish I had your backside! : ) Anyway, I wish you the best...I have a few Boy clothes that were given to me, pretty much hand-me downs. Are you interested? Let me know. By the way we are naming him Henry after Henry B. Erying. My favorite apostle! 3 more weeks to go! YEAH!
Lexie, those pictures are awesome. I carry real low with my kids too and I know how you feel. I understand now why fat men where suspenders! It's the only way to keep things from falling down to your crotch.
I actually went to Target looking for some suspenders but couldn't find any. I mean, I know it's not the 80s anymore...but still.
You're almost there. Just another month, or two!
and yes, your body looks totally normal everywhere else. You look awesome! (even if you feel huge). I'm sure you'll bounce back that first week.
