24 Weeks It Is

Ha! Gross picture I know :) After weeks of debating about due dates, my OB finally decided to move my official due date to October 23rd. Which is all fine and good.....except for that I thought I was almost 27 weeks along! So all of a sudden I am only 24 weeks and pretty discouraged. I already feel uncomfortable (which I don't really remember feeling for at least another month with my first pregnancy)...I know , cry you a river....trust me I have. I don't remember feeling so chubby last time....I mean I knew I was big and pregnant but I didn't feel chubby. And now I am only 24 weeks!?!?! Crap! I am not really looking forward to the next 3 1/2 months.... What makes it different? The exhaustion of taking care of another little one? Lack of money for new maternity clothes? Less time to think about the exciting daily growth of toenails and hair? I don't know but it is different.
Here's to secretly hoping that my OB is retarded and off her rocker or that the baby comes 3 weeks early again.

Hang in there! I have felt the same way with my second. I could have sworn I was popping out at my first appointment and wearing maternity clothes way earlier than the last time. I have felt like a cow this time. You are not alone, however I think your view of yourself may be a little distorted because you are looking amazing in your pictures. I hope your OB is wrong too and I hope the time moves more quickly for you. It will be here before you know it!

OH, that is so brutal to have just lost 3 whole weeks! I feel your pain.

oh that is just plain mean, Even if they moved it up a day I think I would have slit my wrists. ; ) and I guarantee you are not chubby, you are beautiful!

i have never understood the moving of due dates.... oh well. im so sorry!

for what it is worth- i think you are darling pregnant. come over to my house and i can show you some awesome pics of when i was pregnant with sophie and was super toxic and gained 75 lbs. at least it will make you laugh to see a real chub.

hang in there my dear!!!

I think that you look FABULOUS! At least your chubbiness goes away... my pregnancy chubbiness lingers for about 9 extra months around my belly (affectionately known as "the muffin top"), bum and thighs. Ahhhh... only 4 more months to go...

And OB's can be so cruel sometime. We're hoping for "an appropriate arrival" for little Mini-Maci. Hang in there!

Were so close now! Do you know what you having? Were having another Boy and so excited about it.

You are gorgeous pregnant or not! And by NO means chubby! Congrats to a healthy pregnancy so far, right?!!

I don't think they should be allowed to move due dates back. It's just not fair!! But I also don't think that girls should get to look as fabulous as you do pregnant. So whatever!! Hope you're feeling good!
