sidenote......

When I first saw these photos, I had a range of thoughts.

My first thought was, "Look at my belly in this picture; I can't believe it's that freakin' big!"

Then I thought, "I am deleting these pictures and noone else will ever see them!" And then finally I decided that I would keep them and use them as a reminder to get to the gym more often. A couple weeks after these pictures were taken, I found out that we are having another baby! Yep, pregnant again with baby #3!

But come on! I'm like 3-4 weeks pregnant here! Right around this time, I had a woman ask me in the gym was I pregnant. I told her no and she asked me was I sure. Ha!

For some crazy reason, I get an immediate increase in girth around my belly area. Not that I'm usually flat and toned, with 6-pack abs, but come on I'm not that big! It also makes me a little embarassed to share just how pregnant I am. People usually ask first if I'm pregnant and then the next question is- how far along are you. I usually laugh while telling them, because I know the next response will be- wow either that's a big baby or you are carrying twins.
