Aww crap, someone remembered. Ok, ok. I'll take one tomorrow. I'm more like 23 weeks at this point...
(PS for all the grumbling, I'm touched that you're interested. )

I've been wondering too! Some of us don't forget things like that! As soon as I saw Ginger's 38week pic I immediately thought....hmmmm....Where's Jenny's pic! We can't wait! I'll be looking for it tomorrow girl!!!!

Post a pic! Come on, if you do, I'll post the one I have holding my shirt up where you can see my ACTUAL stomach. A sight to behold!

You have no idea how much I hate having my photo taken. I made my husband take about 15 until we found one that was tolerable.

Well, you should see photos 1-14 before you say that.

Not at all how I remember your profile pic to be when you had one up. I have no idea why you were so against posting your pic! You look so pretty! Preggers and all! Thanks SOOOOOOOO much for posting one. It's so exciting seeing all these pregnant people(probably most exciting cause it's not me...hehe .Been there, done that!)It definitly brings back memories. They were happy ones. It's such a wonderful experience that you will cherish FOREVER! When are you due again???

That's really sweet. Do you ever get used to the kicking? I'm still having a hard time getting adjusted to that...
And I am due Dec 27th, so not for a long time.

Having a hard time ya mean with it kicking in the ribs and stuff? I don't remember that bothering me so much as the stretching that my belly did. I had horrible stretching pains with each child. Around the sides of my belly, kinda lower. I had to wear this belt type thing that I got from JC Penney's or somewhere for a few weeks until the stretching pains stopped. Both my babies were kinda big(at least for me since I'm 5ft, 90lbs)so perhaps it was inevitable that the stretching would happen. The first one was 8lbs 2 oz (and two weeks late)the other was 7lbs 13oz and 3 weeks early! Anyway, no worries though, I never got a single stretch mark on my belly. Now my boobs.....we won't even go there!!!!
The kicking though does slow down as you progress. There simply is no room at the end for the little bugger to kick. And actually at the end you kinda want the baby to kick cause you start to get paranoid when you don't feel movement It's all worth it in the end!
So you have 4mths to go yet?!?! It will be here before you know it. It goes fast. Christmas baby eh? Do you live in a state where it snows?

I've had two babies. Both were big boys but that doesn't excuse how much weight I gained. I gained 48 with the first and 52 with the second. I was big all over. Big arms, big legs and ankles, big face. BIGGG...and not so lovely looking. But I see now when I look back at those photos, that I looked a lot better than what I thought I did at the time. I swear pregnant women inherit the anorexic's brain for awhile...thinking they look fat when the rest of the world looks at them as beautiful pregnant women. Truly...you look great.

That really bothered me too...although nowadays, not so much kicking as general moving around and squriming, which can get a little uncomfortable especially because this baby particularly favors the right side of my belly and chooses to put his/her whole body there. A lot of times I look down and my belly is completely lopsided!

No... it's not where he kicks, exactly. It's just that it feels very strange to have something kicking you from the inside and I can't get used to it. I guess he'll continue getting bigger and the sensation will change again anyway!
Nope, no snow here. Last year we had half an inch of ice and the city shut down.

Wow! You look great, but you look so different from your old profile pic. (Besides the whole not-being-pregnant thing, I mean.)
Thanks for sharing!

Just wait till you get the kicking in the ribs, ye-ouch! I swear my son could get his toes actually into my ribs. But the payoff in the end is great, even now when he's 10 and a little mouthy at times, ha ha!
