Well you came a long way from the 25 week photo. But you still look great! Are you feeling good?

I'm having good and bad days...the nausea isn't as bad as it was, just have it for about an hour after taking my iron pill each morning. I feel like I have a little more energy too (which is good considering how much I have to get done!) but at the end of the day my ankles and feet are so swollen...I seriously look like I have fred flintstone feet right now! No shoes fit...not even my flip flops.

Wow it's good you've got energy so close to the finish line. And I think I probably could've handled my nausea better if it were at all predictable like that. It liked to spring itself on me without warning though. Hope you keep feeling good up til the end ;)

OH. MY. GOD. I'm shellshocked! You really were hiding it well in that other photo. LOL
I don't understand how you don't tumble forward as heavy as that belly looks. I'm just speechless. I know the baby really gains weight in the last 4 weeks.

That's exactly what's scaring me...I can't believe I'm actually going to get bigger than I already am! I'm really all baby though...haven't gotten bigger anywhere else (except for my poor swollen ankles and feet)

Your size is obvious...all baby! Even if you don't share them all with us you should totally take a new pic every week from here on out in the same clothes to document just how your belly changes shape.

Since I had nauseating morning sickness with Gwendolyn for over seven months, I'm so glad I didn't have to take iron on top of my pre-natal vitamins to make it worse. YIKES! And if Lilly wasn't a big newborn, you're probably OK with this baby, too. But if it's any consolation, we grow 'em big in our family: my sister's son was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and her daughter was 8 lbs. 13 oz. My aunt had two boys...#1 was 9 lbs. 12 oz. and #2 was 10 lbs. 4 oz. No problem! lol
Good luck! And elevate those Fred Flintstone feet above your heart for about an hour each night; it helps.

Have you tried taking your iron before you go to bed? I think you look beautiful!

You look like you stuck a basketball or maybe a kickball under your shirt :) Get your rest and take Mom's(Dannie) advice on taking the pill at night. I have to take vitamins at night because they make my stomach uneasy.

My belly was HUGE compared to my frame. I thought there was something wrong becasue it stuck out so much. You look great! So excited for you!

Angi...Lilly was pretty big, 8 lb 5 oz, but I had GD with her. Totally curious how big this one will be in comparison, without the GD...I'm thinking I just make them big too judging from the size of my belly and being able to feel him/her down in my pelvis and up by my ribs at the same time!
Dannie, doc told me to take them opposite of when I take my prenatal so I don't totally od on the iron. Maybe I should switch places, take the prenatal in the AM and the iron at night.
