Please tell me that picture of you is NOT at 32 weeks pregnant? If so, I will have to dislike you and your thin body forever ;)
I, too, am shocked that you’re 32 weeks. Was this taken at, say, 15 weeks? Cause I’m so not seeing how you can be ALMOST DUE and NOT HARDLY SHOWING. Maybe it’s the slimming black or the pose. I popped at 10 weeks with my second. Oh, the blessing of thin-ness.
I swear my uterus is in my butt; my stomach never pops out much, but my bum gets big!
My daughter (a budding photographer) took the photo this week after bugging me over and over to take some pics. I think the pose makes a difference, although I do appreciate all your kindness because I unfortunately have a funny mirror in my head (as I frequently write about/allude to) and don’t see myself in a kind light sometimes. I understand it’s irrational, but I think so many of us fail to see ourselves for what we are (both physically and otherwise).
Also, I think so much of pregnancy has to do with genetics. I look very much like my mom did when she was pregnant and we’ve even had very similar labors and both tend to go early.
And it doesn’t matter how I “look,” pregnancy is never easy for me because I lose control over my weight and the number on the scale (something I really struggle with). Really though, I suppose this is why pregnancy is actually GOOD for me because I have to “offer it [as in my body] up” for my baby and have to relinquish control.
Still, like I said, I really appreciate your kind words. I wasn’t sure if I should even share a preggo picture. I usually hide when the camera comes out, but I’m getting better. :)
God bless you all!
I think you look beautiful :) Little belly and all :) I understand, to a point, how you feel. I always got a “big” belly very early on, but to the public eye, it barely looked like a bulge. I always felt so much bigger to me!
beautiful as always…maddy took a great picture!!
you’re pregnant? ok, well, now everyone else feels bad about themselves!!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Kate,
You make a very cute pregnant lady! Every pregnant woman carries their baby weight differently, so don’t worry about what anyone else says (except your doctor, of course!) I always look big (you should have seen me with the twins!), but then I also gain a little too much and don’t exercise enough.
Rejoice in that belly. It contains such a blessing! Oh, your girls are going to have fun with that baby!

You look GREAT!
It’s a lovely picture! Good for you for getting in front of the camera!!!
I’m under 5’2″ and usually by the time I am 6 or 7 months along, people at the supermarket are asking me if I’m due any day! It’s hard to take these comments for two or three months, but hey. I am as God made me.
All of our bodies are different, and pregnancy does very different things to each of us. I’ve suffered from hyperemeisis in both my pregnancies, but always got very big anyway.
Lovely picture.

You look gorgeous! We all carry differently. I carried wayyyyyyyyyyyy out in front and everyone predicted I was having a boy. I did, but I looked exactly like my mom who had two girls :)
