Week 24 Pictures

Everyone says that all women handle pregnancy differently.  We have different body shapes, so its no surprise that different bodies look different during pregnancy.  Well, this pregnant body is just getting wide.  Lukas must be sprawled out rather than curled up like a little ball, because my stomach still isn't looking obviously pregnant (unless I'm derobed or wearing skin tight clothes, which rarely happens outside of the confines of my house...)  It's true, I see people looking at me funny, wondering what's wrong with my stomach.  It just has this bloated appearance.  I can hear the mental conversation going on in a person's head as they pass me...they wonder about my wardrobe choice and lack of flat stomach in these outfits.  I know I should not complain about this, but its just odd.  Before you're pregnant, you wonder how you'll handle it.  And sure enough, I'm gaining weight (or girth, your choice) in my booty and thighs - the place I always put on weight when I fall off the healthy food wagon and exercise bike.  Luckily my face is staying slender and nothing seems to be swelling up yet (fingers crossed they don't).  My rings still fit and are even loose some days.  But my feet, they are growing longer and a tad wider.  My shoe collection is feeling lonely since they are slowly being abandoned.  I may just have to buy them some new friends to keep them company!

On anther note, Mr. Cob totally disagrees with the above statements and noted this morning - "You definitely look pregnant."  So maybe I'm delusional.  It's quite possible.
