So as I look at my baby bump pictures reminiscing...kinda makes me want another baby. LOL just kidding. I mean I do but I'm enjoying my baby boy right now. Maybe I'll give him a younger sibling next year! For now he has 2 older siblings to play with. To me my bump grew slowly at the beginning then just exploded at the end.
I loved that I was able to wear my regular clothes up to my 8th month. I carried so high that all my pants(thank god its the low on your hip era) were able to still button shut. And of course sweats stretch so that I was a plus. I have a friend who is a photographer(check out her page here...Fish Kiss Photo) and so at 34 weeks we did maternity pictures. LOVED them!!!
Finally my due date came and went. Everyone...and I mean everyone thought I would go early cause I was so big, little did we know how big my son was. He knew how big he was and therefore didn't want to try and come out.
The night before I went in to be induced...looking huge...
After labor for 12 hours, pushing for 3 hours...he still wouldn't come out so C-section it was. And no wonder, damn kid was 10lbs 5oz. No one had a clue, my doctor thought he would be about 8 1/2lbs. SURPRISE!! I gained 30-35lbs, hell I had lost 2/3rds of my weight(baby and water) by the time I got to go home.
There are days I miss it and then there are times that I love that I don't hurt. My back killed...which is no wonder with his size. Guessing he was on a nerve that last few months. Some days I couldn't even stand up straight. But I would go though it all again!!

Wow, I'm so impressed with how long you were able to wear regular clothes!
