Bump Watch: 16 Weeks

What's a pregnancy blog without belly pictures?!  Today's post is the first in a series of weekly "Bump Watch" posts that will include pictures I have recruited Mark to take for your viewing pleasure.  

I must say, when I downloaded these photos onto our computer last night, I was aghast by how HUGE I looked in them.  I swear, people, when I look in the mirror or walk around on this Earth, I do not think - or feel - that I look this big (or TIRED!).  Something tells me this is going to be a L-O-N-G five and a half months. ;o)  

I'm telling myself it was the Quizno's I had for lunch and the Cold Stone ice cream (don't judge!) I had for dessert, but I doubt that will fly.  The truth is, my belly is beginning to take over and the proof is in the...pictures:

Also, my boobs have gotten in on the deal.  I had to go buy a new bra this weekend and found that I'd grown a whole 2 sizes around and one cup size bigger!  Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?  My prepubescent self is totally stoked.

  1. Total cuteness! And really, why would anyone judge you for the Cold Stone? We have to get that baby accustomed to the finer things in life (oh please tell me you had chocolate! ;-)), right?

    Oh man...if you gave me 706 more positive reasons in addition to the boob growth, I *might* consider having a kid ;-). As it stands though, I'll leave the birthing and child rearing up to you. I have a feeling you'll do a MUCH better job! Thanks for the pics. Love them!

  12. Amy you look adorable, and I can't believe how you have "popped" since I saw you little over a week ago. I love the maternity clothes! How fun. This is just so exciting. Looking forward to more pixs (and giggles...you are too funny and precious for words.)

    I love you (Mark and Chickpea, too...as well as Molly and Lucy!)

  13. Awww, thanks everyone! You sure do know how to make a pregnant girl feel purty! :o)

    And mom, the only maternity item I'm wearing here is the white shirt, which is the one that makes me look HUGE. I'm blaming it on that. Ha!
