The Big 5-0

This pregnancy I cannot count how many people have commented on how small I am. While I feel nowhere near small, I do feel smaller than I was when I was pregnant with Adelaide. So I decided to do a little test.

Knowing that I have gained a whopping fifty pounds I decided to do a comparison. I found my "post-baby" picture taken 1 year after Adelaide's birth and compared it with my most recent "belly shot." I was amazed to see that I don't look like a woman who's put on 50 pounds! I was beginning to feel like a moose when I read of other moms in my online group who had gained much less than I. Some of them had gained as little as 9 pounds and where well into their 3rd trimester!! But after looking at my pictures I'm beginning to feel a little proud of my weight gain-at least I hide it well. And praise the Lord for breastfeeding, I'll be back in my pre-baby jeans in no time!! (I hope!)
