Here we grow again! New belly pics.

At around 4 months, I saw a pregnant woman who was about 6 months along. She was healthy and beautiful, but her belly looked gigantic to me and I wondered how on earth my stomach would grow that much in a mere 2 months.




But here I am now, in the middle of month 5, and boy am I growing! It's a little weird having this belly in front of me, sort of like I have grown an extra limb. I feel conscious of it all the time. In a crowd, I am protective of it, and at night, even in my sleep, I am always considering where my belly is and if it is safe. Every few weeks, it is as if my balance shifts again and I have to be very conscious of the way I am moving. If you've been pregnant before, you know how uncomfortable it is to put any kind of pressure on your stomach, so anytime I accidentally lean up against a table or when the dog jumps up on me, I definitely feel it.

What's amazing is that baby and I are just going to continue growing and growing for 3 1/2 more months!
