It is Wednesday again, time for some bumps! 😀

[muscari]

@starzia, ahhh I love your bump!! I'm so glad you did end up taking a bumppic, and thank you for sharing it with us I know your bump isn't necessarily making you happy at times so I know this is a big thing. But really, I think you look awesome! You have a beautiful bump. ♥

I'm sorry you worry about your boobs.. I don't think I gained much extra boob over the pregnancy but also been told that for some it just comes really late. I hope your doctor will be able to sooth your worries.

AFM, I have yet to take a pic this week, will post once I do!

@starzia, You look wonderful, thanks for sharing your pic. I'm also part of the itty bitty club and like unicornsparkles said, there is no correlation to having small boobs and BF. I BF my first successfully for 18 months, the first 6 months exclusively. I hope your dr is able to ease your worries too

You look great yoshijo and not huge at all. Tho I know they say the same about me and boy do I feel bigger and bigger every day! The other day was the first time in over 3 weeks that I saw myself in the mirror and about had a heartattack 😲 lol!

@starzia, oh, I'm right there with you. My boobs havent changed in size at all. It's so weird. I was totally expecting to finally have bigger boobs but so far, nope, still wearing the same bras as pre-pregnancy. But my doctor (and everyone else) has reassured me that i'll still be able to BF.

yoshijo, you look great! Its amazing how you feel so big but yet others truly don't see it that way.

It's so true! Re: feeling large but not looking it. At my appt today my Dr said... so you've gained more weight buuuuut I don't see where and it doesn't look it. So that's good at least. 😏🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm officially in the gained over 30lbs club and aside from my belly and personally, I think my hips and thighs finally expanded this weekend (could have been all the bday cake 😂), i don't know where it went. DH thinks it's water weight bc my cankles are redonkulous right now...

Everyone looks great!!
Will post mine once I get out of bed and dressed!

[muscari]

addymac, I have spent the past 2 weeks orso wondering what the heck cankles were. I mean, I figured it had to do with swollen ankles and what not but just couldn't figure out what exactly it meant Guess tis calves and ankles growing in to one cause of fluid retention or something?? LOLz also @ the redonkulous haha.

As for gaining weight, I too gained like 27 lbs so far (3 of which like in the last couple days wth, I swear tis water retention!). I had hoped to stay under like 15 kgs (~33lbs) total which already felt a bit much perhaps going by seemed "normal on average" according to some Dutch websites. But I bet I'll be closer to 17 (37lbs) or perhaps 18 (almost 40lbs) even by the time baby comes? Ohwell, as long as the baby is doing great and my doctors aren't telling me I'm gaining to much I'm not gonne worry! Also, I much prefer kilograms LOL cause 40 pounds sounds like a ridiculous amount I spent some time fretting over weight gain earlier on in the pregnancy but in all honesty I haven't been too worried about it. I mean, I weight myself semi-regularly (though I actually didn't weight myself for almost 4 weeks cause of my ankle) but more to just keep track of things then anything else. Just hoping it won't be too bad to get rid of the extra kilos once baby gets here but will cross that bridge when I get there. I put to much effort into being able to even just grow this baby inside me to be worried about these kind of things right now, so it feels

Ok here's my lazy hdbd pic! Sitting on the couch and am just not moving.

Plus side is after laying on the couch w my feet up over the back I can see the outline of my ankles!! 🙌🏼

Yes muscari - cankles = when there's no discernible ankle from the calves! (Bc of fluid retention). DH thinks a lot of my weight gain is water weight in my legs. Meh.

I'm up 33lbs this pregnancy. I'm averaging 1.5lbs a week weight gain. I remember one of the nurses a little while ago saying they would start getting concerned once my weight gain hit 35lbs, so I'm expecting a lecture at my next appointment

[mrshall1027]

I've gained about 20-25 so far, which I'm happy with. By the end of my last pregnancy, I think I had gained 35 total and I ended up loosing 20 of that within the first week or so. It's crazy how much you loose in such a short time. As long as you aren't gaining weight from over eating/being unhealthy, don't worry about the number on the scale. It'll go back down once baby is out and you give you body time to recover.

[jt2378]

While I have only gained 20lbs so far, I started 10lbs heavier than last time so its feeling like I've gained 30, womp womp.

I gained a total of 25 last time but she was born 2 weeks early

I've gained 25 lbs so far! It's hard not being "light" anymore. I sat on a table and almost broke it. Ooops. Not used to that also used to be able to sneak by people and squeeze through things. Not any more.

Omg YES to the not being able to sneak by and squeeze through things. I am struggling so hard with that at work... let me squeeze by you and help... oh just kidding... and my arms aren't long enough... someone else take over ☹️😂

I contemplated sitting on our counter today and got scared I might break it so I sat on the floor 😕

[muscari]

Haha @starzia and addymac count me in in the club "no more sneaking and squeezing by". Still getting used to that. Even MH miscalculated the gap between me and a cabinet the other day when he thought he could easily pass thru 😂

[muscari]

Here is mine, taken today at 32w1d.

muscari I love that shirt!

[muscari]

jexxa it is actually a dress - I too absolutely love it! But it is going back to the store lol.. it was ridiculously expensive (90$) for what basically is a shirtdress... and on one side the stripes don't match up at the seam. For that price I expect it to be perfect lol. Did make my weekly bumppic while trying it on 😁
