belly shot - 17 weeks


belly shot #3 - 17 weeks. getting bigger (in more areas than this)...as you can see from my previous post i had to purchase my first pair of maternity pants. i went shopping again today...and it sucked. really, i didn't enjoy maternity clothes shopping today! i'm just kinda pooching out...so maternity stuff sometimes looks a little silly. so i searched and searched for "cool" and fashionable items. i'm still a little unsure of my purchases...may have to make some returns. we'll see!

You're so cute! I totally understand how you're feeling though. It's that awful in between time where you don't look like you used to but you still don't look all the way pregnant yet. You're getting so close though & any day now it will pop out & you'll be like - where did that come from? You look great right now, so don't you worry. Oh & to answer your question about the maternity swimsuit, it's Ripe Maternity brand. I've found that it's not so much the brand that matters, but the style. The Target ones run huge & long though, so they will probably swallow you like they did me.

:) thanks for the comments!! when i look down i definitely look bigger than i do in the pic...! i know that any day now i'll be nice and round! :) it's kinda fun watching you b/c i know that's what's right around the corner for me! and since neither one of us have height on our side that helps more! :) thanks for the suit info! i looked at target this weekend and you're right! i'm too short for those! i loved yours!!

Hey Mandy! It's Sarah McKelvain, I stumbled onto your blog via facebook. You're looking great!! I remember exactly how you feel; I was at work one night, right at 17 wks pregnant and told a guest and she looks at my stomach, looks at me and says, "yeah what are you like 3 seconds pregnant!" I sheepishly scurried away. I'm glad you're feeling better! Maybe one of these weekends when the monsoon passes we can all get together. Are you guys finding out the sex of the baby? Oh and if you want check out Ashby at www.ashbyb.blogspot.com :)
