Good Grief...I'm "Popping"!

On Saturday when we went to the flea market we stopped at a vendor for some *delicious* chicken.  He looked at me and when "So...when are you popping?"  It kinda caught me off guard...since I never had a stranger come up to me and ask that.  But it was also good...sicne now I know I "offically" look more pregnant than fat.  His mother walks up and says:  "Oh...that's a HEALTHY baby."  I resisted giving her a dirty look, but she chimed in:  "I mean, you are carrying well...that means it's a healthy baby."  Even she realized how a crazy hormonal pregnant women could take that sentence.  I like her.

When we went home Greg's mom even pointed out that I look, in fact, that I suddenly "popped" out.  Which, if you asked me, I think I "popped" out a little earlier...but I guess it's just more noticeable now.

So, 22 weeks...this is what I look like!

(Okay, so apparently my pictures don't like me and the decided to show up really small...this is the "x-large" setting.)

I know I have a dumb face, but I just got off the phone with my Mother...and I was still pretty heated and a little angry.  I look so HUGE.  It doesn't help that I'm offically hungry every second.  It's really hard to resist.  But I think I'm doing a good job.  It doesn't help that the medicines I'm taking also causes weight gain.  But I've been getting out more and moving around more, so hopefully that will help.

This is Greg's favorite picture.  I think because it's so natural?  I didn't even realize he took the picture until he told me to do it again on the other side.  I didn't even notice the flash going off.  What can I say?  I can't get enough of my belly.

You can't really see the stretch marks but you can definately see that although I bitch alot and I rant about everything...I'm enjoying myself and this pregnancy.  It's hard but I already know it's all worth it.  Now if only I could figure out a way to keep my ring permately on my finger instead of having to wear it on a chain around my neck.  It's really bumming me out.  I've had a ring on my finger since June 10th 2009 and I feel naked without it.  But it's getting harder and harder to put it on and take it off.  I just hope it's not a sign of my blood pressure rising. :( That would add insult to injury.

Until Next Time:
