NurseHeidi, this is for you. I know you've been DYING to see what my growing belly looks like (though I don't know why) so I took some pictures today of me. And I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow, so I'm calling these my 18 week pictures.

And if I may, I'll brag just a little. Because looking in the mirror trying to show everyone my pronounced belly, I was feeling just a wee bit..., what's the word?...longing for my old waist back, let's say. So I got out the tape measure (I know, I know, but it was a good thing). And I have a little sheet of paper in my bathroom next to where I keep my tape measure, of the measurements I took when I was losing all that weight. So I looked back to when I started and get this: my waist measurement NOW is 1/2 inch LESS than it was before I started losing weight. And my hips were 3 1/2 inches LESS now than before I dropped the 35 pounds! So even though I'm growing, it's a comfort (and amazing) to know that I'm still not to my pre-weightloss size yet! And proportionately, I'm right where I should be for being 18 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy. And if you don't agree, please, don't tell me!

You look so awesome, and are such an inspiration to me! I'm gonna lose 35 pounds too! Eventually!!!
Ok, I saw the pics over on facebook, but seriously... you are the cutest LITTLE pregnant girl. I am very envious, because I know if it were me, I would be far and above my pre weight loss numbers. Keep it up girl.
you really do look great. i'm a little jealous, but i know you worked hard for it. :)
Cute belly. Will be cuter still in five months.
You are such a cute pregnant lady! I too am jealous!
You look so adorable. Gaining baby is so different from gaining weight.
YAY! Thanks for the baby update- I love hearing all about it. It makes me miss feeling a baby inside. :)
You look absolutely FABULOUS btw. I know I have said it before, but I still can't believe how skinny you are. And that you are still smaller than you were is AWESOME. I won't even tell you how much weight I gain during my pregnancies. Luckily I do lose most of it after the baby is born.
I love how you took pictures of yourself in the mirror-so cute.
And I can't wait to hear what you are having-I will check back Jan 16th. I voted BOY-but according to the poll, most everyone has voted girl. Do you have a preference? :)
Hope you had a great Christmas and that you are over the flu bug. And I hope that you keep feeling ok now that you are heading into the last half of your pregnancy.
You are freakin' adorable! What a cute belly :). I voted pink...do I get a prize if I'm right?
Yes, darling - you are adorable! I haven't voted, because I really have no feeling one way or another. A girl would be really fun, though - then Sarah could have a little cousin friend!
I'm sneaking on here. I took it as an invitation when I got your Christmas letter :). I must say after not seeing you for what, 3 weeks, when I saw you today.. you are SO CUTE! Where'd all that baby come from?!?! AND I never realized you had lost that much weight! Did you do that all here?
I do look forward to visiting with you soon ;). Sorry I didnt get back to you for last month... we were already gone.
I think you your really good!
