Wordless | Bump Ahead

Okay, so for those that are following my blog for their first rodeo of me being pregnant, here's the deal:
  • I make big babies. Like 9.5 pound monster babies born 2 weeks early.
  • My belly gets really big when I'm pregnant. I measured 6 weeks ahead with Brynn.
  • This is {obviously} my 3rd baby. 4th pregnancy.

And in preparation for said monster babies, for some reason the moment I get pregnant my uterus decides to freak out, go into survival mode and expand like crazy. I guess it just knows what to do and so it blows up like a big ol' used balloon. As my doctor put it.

But because I lost 30 pounds in between Brynn and this baby, I didn't think my belly would show as fast as my pregnancy with Brynn. {See here.}

I was wrong.

6 weeks
{yep, you read that right}

6 weeks

7 weeks
{looks a bit higher to me}
7 weeks

8 weeks
{and me dying of a sinus infection}
8w1

So, there's that. I can already feel my uterus {i.e. not the baby} pushing up and I have round ligament pain like whoa. Good times. And for the record, I had an appointment this week and lost 3 pounds.

For those that want to follow along, I'll put my belly picture in my weekly updates {probably on Mondays} from now on. But, at almost 9 weeks pregnant, I can already feel a big difference from my 8 week picture.

Should be a fun 9 months! =)

  3. Whoa!! ALL belly though!! I popped WAY early this time around- to the point where I felt like I should be lying about when I was due.. complete strangers were congratulating me in september and I'm due in April! Yay for big babies! Mine was 8 lb 9 and 22 in long- not as big as your babies for sure but no peanut either!! BIG congrats!! :)

  6. Your belly is so adorable! I wish I had charted my belly progress with pictures. With my third, I ballooned out and was unable to hide it and keep it a secret by 8 weeks...I looked about 5 months pregnant...though I was super sick and lost almost 10 lbs my first trimester. Looking forward to watching that little tummy grow!

  10. I guess you can't really keep it a secret - at all!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I thought you were kidding! How can you even keep your pregnancy a secret? You make a very cute pregnant woman though!

    ReplyDelete

  16. I love your belly. I have huge babies and bellies. I didn't know you had a miscarry. :( Praying everything goes good.

  17. Holy Moley that is an adorable big belly! It may be big, but it is so round and pregnant looking (if that makes any sense). Even at 9 months, I felt like people were probably looking at me and questioning, "Is she pregnant or just fat??". I have pregnant belly envy...LOL!

  18. Congrats on the baby! You are an adorable pregnant woman. I, on the other hand, was not lol.

  20. Oh man. How cute is your 8 week bump? Adorable! You look fantastic! And don't feel bad. I'm on baby #2 (third pregnancy) and I popped out like WHOA right away too. Guess some girls are just made for birthing babies ;)

  23. Wow, that's crazy!! You look great though.

  24. You look awesome Jenni! Love that belly:) Congrats on # 3.

  25. Wowsa!! And I thought I popped out early with this little guy. Ha ha. But seriously, you look adorable!!! At least you fly past the awkward i-ate-too-much phase and skip straight to the yep-she's-definitely-preggo phase. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh I am in love with your preggo belly!! That is too cute how quickly you show.....I can't wait to follow along and see it grow ;)

  28. 6 weeks?! Good grief! You ARE making one huge baby... unless it's twins! Congrats all the same, you are looking very well.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ok, whoa. I mean, you look adorable, and I love how it's all round and cute and perfect and stuff, but how are you even going to make it to 9months?! I was HUGE when I was pregnant too, and I can't say I can look back on that time and not shudder. Are you sure there aren't two in there?! Should I add in a few more things random strangers are going to say to you, just to get you prepared for it? Okay, I'm done. But I need to see how 6 months is looking so keep up the bump shots!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh you look so cute! And you don't even need to explain about the belly, believe me girl I know. I almost did not take a pregnancY test with this 3rd baby of mine for the sheer fact that my belly did all the explaining. I seriously looked in the mirror and at just 4 weeks - I swear I look 4 months. But like your said, your uterus just remembers what to do! And I too have the round ligament pain! Enjoy your pregnancy! :-)

  31. You look absolutely beautiful!!! And I can totally relate: big babies equal big bellies. Everyone asked me if I was pregnant with multiples for both pregnancies!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sooooo cute!!!!! You are so good at growing babies...that perfect little bump proves it :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love the bump! Taking weekly pregnancy pictures is one of my favorite parts about being pregnant! And wow those are some big babies. Straight to 0-3 month clothes huh?

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think you have one of the cutest baby bumps EVER! I look like a big fat blob -- this is precious!

    ReplyDelete
  46. That is amazing how fast your body knows what to do! You look amazing especially being so tiny everywhere else :). It is nice that you get to skip the looking fat stage and go right to the looking pregnant stage! I'm 16 weeks and still kind of in between fat and pregnant ;)

    ReplyDelete

  50. Hi Jenni, I have been meaning to visit your blog for some time {since I'm following you on instagram} and finally I'm here! btw...I have monster babies too. Probably b/c I have a 6'11 monster husband. My first baby was 9.5lbs too and 22inches long :S I am not even joking when I say I'm nervous to have a second. You look amazing btw! pretty sure my uterus will be doing the same thing

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'm the same way, and the babies keep getting bigger - #3 was 10 lbs! You're the perfect kind of pregnant that I always wanted to be, though - I got big ALL OVER! Thanks for sharing the pics; looking forward to watching your progress!
