I did manage to take a snapshot of myself this past week. Mostly because I was getting dressed and ready for the day and caught a glimps of myself in the bathroom mirror. My first reaction was, "Wow, I don't look THAT pregnant from the front." Then I turned sideways and my reaction was more of a "WHHHOOOOAA". See for yourself.
Conclusion: Black is an extremely forgiving color and I should throw away any shirt that isn't black.I serioulsy feel huge this time around. I've gained about the same weight as I did with Grace, maybe even a little less, but this baby is so low that it just makes me look much bigger. (see my post from Grace's pregnancy) I'm actually to the point of having to go buy more maternity shirts because my belly is hanging out of the bottom of all the ones I currently have. Never had that problem with Grace because she was so high. Of course, I had heartburn for about 6 straight months....
Other than the sheer girth of my belly, I'm feeling pretty good. Certainly lacking energy and feeling all other things that come with pregnancy, but I'm just happy to be done with some of the more serious health issues I had early on. If exhaustion and swelling is the worst of it from here on out, I'll be a happy woman!
I keep having dreams about the gender. Still no clue, although this pregnancy seems to be getting its share of "boy" votes. I'm kind of leaning that way as well, since the pregnancy is so different from the first, but only slightly leaning that way. Like maybe 60/40. Thoughts?

That is a boy belly Jamie! At least that's my vote. My sister was pregnant with 4 boys and her bellies were always low and out. Like someone put a basketball under her shirt.
My belly was high and I went wider.
I know you're uncomfortable, but I LOVE your belly. If we lived closer, I would ask to touch it! So excited for you.
BOY for sure!!!!
