the cutsie stage
OH BOY
Yes, 30 WEEKS! i look FULL TERM plus some! 10 more to go..... (shoot self in head)
Look at my freaking thigh in the far right pic.... i was HUGE.
I delivered at 37 weeks due to preeclampsia. I had an amniosentesis (spelling) done and Braylee's lungs were MORE than ready so i was induced. You can read about my very easy, smooth, fast delivery {{HERE}}
All those prego pics WERNT EVEN THE WORST PART!!
you ready for this???
Now for the swollen feet...........
I almost cry looking at my poor swollen feet.
I was LITERALLY a walking, talking, ginormous oompa loompa water balloon!
even my nose got fat.
WAAAAAAAAAAA!!
This scares you looking at this post huh?!
Well imagine how i feel, cuz i went through this misery! And to think that i might possibly go through it AGAIN?! Im praying that having my thyroid under control that this wont happen.

I'm not going to lie, the feet scare me, lol!! But I think you look very cute in the rest of the pics-yes your belly is HUGE but it looks like you were pretty teeny everywhere else. I didn't feel very cute when I was pregnant either-I gained 50 pounds! (And when I was discharged from the hospital, I had only lost 6 lbs, haha!)
Oh girl you looked great pregnant!! Even the swollen feet and all =) Trust me I have had to very rough/complicated pregnancies so I know what your feeling!! But its seriously WORTH IT ALL!!! =)
Not gonna lie... your feetsies were tad swollen. Lol... But you were rockn some adorable pinky polka dotted tootsies! I feel your pain, I am freaked the heck out for the same reasons, when it comes to being pregnant again. I gained like 30 pounds, but had SUCH a hard time loosing it. (stupid thyroid)
You were a beautiful preggy lady, you really were!
Oh the feet. I remember this.. My nurse at my NSTS would sit there and do this to my feet and her eyes would get big. haha
I swear the second pregnancy is soo much better, in different ways it's still hard but I think your next pregnancy will be better for you!
It was super worth it in the end right? i mean, look at cute Bray Bug. Love herrr
Oh you poor thing. I didn't have that picture perfect pregnancy either. I didn't get that big, but on my small figure the weight was too much. I hurt all the time. Not to mention I was in and out of the hospital ever few weeks going into pre labor. Not fun. I hate all the women who have those perfect pretty pregnancy.
I'm so glad I'm not a woman. Seriously.
I had horrible pregnancies weight wise and can so relate to these pics. My feet were worse after my c-section. Even so, you looked very cute pregnant. :-)

I got the same way with Jordan. I barely have pics of that pregnancy, b/c I grossed myself out (not saying you gross me out, haha!!) . I gained so much weight & also had those swollen feet! After Js delivery while he was getting all cleaned up, the first thing I looked at were my feet, & I couldn't believe how the swelling just disappeared after popping out a baby ;D
Okay I am so laughing at the Ooompah loompah comment, did I spell that right. I am following from the weekend blog hop. Hope you'll pop by and follow too!
okay OMG i was the EXACT same way!!! i got HUGE! and i'm only 5' tall! people would literally do double takes. and always would say "whoa, you look like you're ready to pop!" haha hate that! and my feet got the same way!! it was awful! i had sciatica really bad and could barely walk. i'm glad you had an easy delivery at least because mine was awful. 2 days of labor ending in a c section following a week stay in the hospital because i lost so much blood!! ahhh. the thought of doing it all again scares me!! but anyway. that's funny that your daughter has the same shirt! it totally is from crazy8!! your little girl is SO cute!!!
Omg! I thought my feet were swollen! You did look great pregnant though.

oh my! I would be nervous to get pregnant again too! you really didn't look as bad as it seems to you, but your poor feet! Must have been so uncomfortable.
You poor thing. I had a tough pregnancy with 10 weeks of bedrest and the swollen feet and hands. I can definitely understand what you went through. You were SO brave to photograph it all. Stopped by from the FInding New Friends Blog Hop. Following!
My feet were just like that! I also had preeclampsia. For the past 3 weeks of my pregnancy I had to wear knit bootie sock things because I couldnt get my feet into shoes. On my way in for my emergency c-section at 37 weeks I walked through a waiting room area to get into the maternity area barefooted. As I walked . . no waddled through I heard ppl saying "oh the poor thing" , "Oh my God look at her feet" and "her feet are so swollen!" So I truly know how you feel.
OMG I so understand what you went through! Your preggy pix are so cute! Yes, you were big, but I feel like we always think we are sooo much bigger than we really are. Now your feet....I SO HAD THE SAME THING!!!! Like, it was so embarrassing! I was so scared that I would be like that forever and ever! I will tell you that the second time around, the swelling wasn't so bad. I was BIGGER, but my feet didn't swell till the last 5 weeks, which wasn't so bad.
I'm 5'1" and I gained 60lbs with my first baby due to preeclampysia. It was horrible…and my feet were swelling out of crocks…I so get this!
I searched for 'swollen feet pregnancy' and found your before and after picture which has really put my mind at ease. I had slender, defined feet (I also had ankles once!) but at 7 months pregnant, they currently look like I've had an allergic reaction to my ballerina pumps! I guess it's just one of those *many* things to put up with until the real joy begins =) Anyway, thanks for your post. I like how 'normal' you write things, unlike other mummy blogs I've looked at.
