I was having a think about a chat I had with Toni_akl about our bumps, and was happily thinking I could go along and just take one photo a month to show the difference in size and growth / shape etc. However, Toni said she might be taking photos every couple of weeks and so this morning, I thought I'd take another one... as it is a bit harder to compare when you look at it every day !
Well... let me just say... Holy Cr@p !! Here is the first photo I already showed you guys, taken on January 15: 
And here is the photo I took today, Feb 1st: 
I brought the two photos together a bit earlier and now I'm like...  No wonder I feel like I'm starting to waddle 
This also brings me back to the whole train of though of "This baby is gonna be HUGE !!'  Well, maybe. I know mums size when pregnant isn't always in proportion to how big bubba turns out but... eep  I've also still only gained 2kgs since we found out I was pregnant, at least according to my last weigh in with my midwife, being at 74.5kgs as I last recall, and then measuring in most recently at 76.5
Anyway... feedback, stories, and of course more bump photos would be greatly welcomed !!!!!  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

You guys all look so neat.
I never took one of me pregnant with the twins i kept meaning to but forgot all about it. The only picture i have is on my dad and step mums video camera and i didn't realise how big i was until i saw that, man i was huge, so big that it didn't even look nice. ------------- Kelly, mother to 4 wonderful children. http://lilypie.com">

Tastic, you actually made me chuckle... probably a nervous chuckle, but hey ! We're not 100% sure, but my anatomy scan is due on the 15th, so we'll know for sure by then. So far nothing has freaked me out too badly, but I think if there was two in there it would
And thanks to everyone else as well, I love coming here coz it is always reassuring coz everyone else either is or has been in the same boat !!
Right now however, I need to put my feet up and have a nice cold drink... had another hard afternoon doing chores and shopping for more baby stuff ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

We've been taking photos every three weeks or so, though I don't think they really do justice to how much change has occured between 30 and 36 weeks!

I don't have any preggy bump pics with Maya, and I so regret it. I thought about it but never got around to it. We have one pic of me on my birthday when I was around 7 mths, but you can't really see the bump.
By the time she was born I looked like the hindenburg coming in to harbour... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

It's nice of you to say so.. I still have days where I wonder where all the baby is! It's still hard to believe that there is a whole human in there, even with 2 and a bit weeks until EDD :D -------------

Ok so it hasn't quite been two weeks yet, which is the frequency I decided on for taking 'bump' pics... but I caved and took another one today, here is the sequence so far:
15 January 2006
1 February 2006
12 February 2006 
There is no question about the fact that I adore my bump, but as with last time, I'm sitting here going !!
Anyhow, that's the latest update - hubby and I went to Pakuranga Plaza today and I bought some of the Glassons Breast Cancer tshirts, then we went "window shopping" for kitchen appliances in Farmers, and a bit later on we are going to go into town for a bit to check out the Chinese New Year Lantern Festival... mmmm, dumplings... ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

| Im soooo relieved you have such an impressive bump. Mine has popped out majorly (second pregnancy) and Im going to be 19 weeks on Thursday but there is a lady at work who is exactly a week earlier than me and she is hardly showing. I know its her first one and she is quite little but I was starting to feel like really down about it because I feel like a fake! |

LOL Janine you must have read my mind, I was thinking about that very thing this morning !! It's starting to get a little *too* tight, but I don't want to have to take it out at all !! So now the question is where do I find the flexi / longer ones ?

quite a few piercing shops have them anyway - they are just flexible plastic - and actually - sounds icky - but sporting shops sell the exact stuff they are made from - it's like really thick plastic fishing wire - so if you get really stuck go ask there - , sterilise it, cut it down and your normal ballbearing things will just screw onto the end, cos it's pretty soft. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
