For Sadie :) A comparison between 36 weeks pregnant with Orion (left) and Desmond (right). People keep telling me I don't look as big this time but my belly is definitely sticking further out this time! I think maybe I was just rounder with O and this time I'm pointy :P Also I don't weigh as much so that probably helps.

I think we need another comparison picture of your pregnancy with O. I feel like you're not looking as big this time. And you're doing great with the weight gain! Way to go, Idaho! You're giving me hope for next time. ;-)

Done! :D

Thanks! I feel better this time at this point in my pregnancy this time than I did with O... I think part of that could definitely be weight related! I weigh about 10 lbs less at this point than I did with O! Pretty excited about not having to work all that off again!!

PS... I eat junk... and sit around all day... and I've gained only 3 lbs less at this point than last time. I just started at a better weight this time ;)

Haha - that was my next question: how did you gain less this time? Good to know! And you're right that you do stick out as far this time but are pointier. Weird! Haha. Glad you're feeling good. I can't believe you're getting so close!!
