Putting myself on BLAST!!!

When I was pregnant with Abby (who is 21 months old), my belly was HUGE!!! Everyone thought I was having twins or a 20lb. baby. These pictures were taken in about a week before Valentines day. Abby was born March 15... so yes folks... I got bigger. I did have Diabetes with both of my girls, but this is abnormal, right? I put this on my blog for 2 reasons:
#1. I need to get a wedding dress and can't put it off any longer... I need motivation from ALL angles. Maybe if I can look at the havoc pregnancy put on strictly my belly, I can do a few more sit-ups, run a bit more, etc. Seriously, I carried ALL my weight in my belly and I still am - BOOO!
#2. When my kids are older I can archive this and say "see what you did to your mama?"





I will probably regret this, but I can find the humor in it and I have never had any vanity issues... maybe just a couple other ones;).
p.s. Abby was 7lbs. 10 oz. and 22 1/2 inches(tall, but not big:0)
p.p.s. Don please refrain from commenting or saving these pictures to blast me in a different way later.

I will try my hardest... but I can't promise that picture won't reappear sometime in the future. Don

Um...I think you looked great. Maybe because I get huge too...my frame of reference is way off.

You looked beautiful then and you are beautiful now. For goodness sake you were caring a human in your belly, give yourself a break.

Um, I think we all look like that a couple of weeks before having a baby. It's always so weird to look back at those pictures. I'll be looking like that soon. You are going to look beautiful in your wedding dress no matter what. I can't wait to see pictures. I will be either huge or in the hospital the time of your wedding.
