Well, I think I wore my regular jeans tonight for the last time during this pregnancy.
I wore them to dinner.
I unbuttoned them during the meal.
I think the hardest part, for me, is knowing the numbers on the scale should go up every time I step on. I know it's supposed to, but still it sorta-kinda-in-a-small way bothers me.
That is so vain, I know. And I kinda feel bad for even thinking it. There is a precious little girl (or boy!) inside of me and I know I am gaining for a wonderful, wonderful reason.
But this is my blog and I can be honest: It's still hard. Maybe that is what is so wrong with our society...
But I digress.
Here is a picture taken of my belly tonight. I am in my 19th week. Almost half way. I think it's about time to buy some maternity clothes.
Here is a picture taken last weekend at the MSU/UA game. Melanie and I are only a couple of weeks apart. She is having a sweet boy!
This was the first time I really looked pregnant in clothes.
I have been so blessed during this whole pregnancy and would not change a single thing. I have not been sick at all and have really been able to enjoy the whole process. God is so good!
AND, big news...we are getting close to deciding on a name. This is huge for me. I can't even decide what to eat for dinner half the time.

Heather! you look great! so excited for you. and there is nothing wrong with trying to get used to gaining weight! but go ahead and eat that cheeseburger, or two =)
i haven't seen melanie in forever! that picture is so cute! hate i missed her at the game.
you look GREAT!! and i can't wait to hear her name :-)
You know my name choice! After your favorite roomie, of course!
Anyway, I loved gaining weight. It was so freeing to be able to eat whatever the heck I wanted, getting fat, and having an excuse! Heehee! Rub that belly and enjoy the only time in your life when it is ok for your wasit to expand. You will be glad you got some elastic waist pants before Thanksgiving.
love love love you!
I will make you feel better... I gained over 50 lbs, like hit 180 and quit looking... (and it wasnt the week before he was born) I was huge. But I am now smaller than I have ever been and never dieted or worked out. (am still nursing, so I do give it credit) but do not worry! every pound is just what that baby needs- ok so maybe not 60. You look great and you will be fine!
Oh my goodness, you are still so small!!! I think I looked like that at about 10 weeks! It IS super hard gaining weight. Especially at the beginning when the belly looks more like a beer gut than a baby bump! That was my least favorite part! But then, when everyone can REALLY tell you're pregnant, its FABULOUS! All you'll want to do is show it off (at least I did!) And don't dwell too much on the weight... I have always been fairly small and when i hit 150 I just gave up. Enjoy it while you can and remember it WILL come off when baby comes! :)
You are so cute friend. Can't wait to hear Little bit's new name. Love ya.
I was about to say I think I looked like your 19 week picture when I found out I was pregnant...geez you are tiny...not sure if you want to hear that or not. You should have seen/ see me at 26 weeks....I think some people feel really sorry for me when they realize I still have 14 weeks to go. Enjoy being little. And don't worry about the pounds, you'll get them off in no time.
ejw
I admit. I had a hard time with the weight gain. I totally understand how you feel. It was the first taste of "mom guilt" that I got - but that little boy is so worth all 27 lbs of gain. And I PROMISE, it will go away. I had no trouble losing it and you won't either! I can't wait to hear the name - and glad you are feeling so well! That is the BIGGEST blessing.
What a cute bump! And a little bump at that.
Can't wait to find out her name! Also can't wait to catch up on Friday! Yay!
YOU look awesome! I always took my shoes off when I weighed in. ;) You will drop those pounds in NO time. Enjoy the cute belly.
Hey heather...get a belly band...Target has them. The belly band lets you wear some of your non maternity clothes a little longer. I love mine.
i'm pretty sure my tummy looks like that now and i am NOT with child.
Wish I would have looked as great as you do at 19 weeks! I looked like I should have been the octo-mom! Can't wait to hear what name you decide on!
you are fat.
I'm with Laura!
