Prego

Last night I asked Brad if I in any way resembled a hippo.

He said no.

"Then maybe a buffalo?"

No again.

"Then maybe, perhaps, do I vaguely look like a redneck guy with a beer belly?"

A tiny smile, then another "no".

And I was satisfied. . . until I tried to hug him and ended up giving him a belly bump instead.

Still, it's nice to have a sweet husband when you're 32 weeks pregnant and feeling fat and awkward. Especially after a guy at church walks up and says, "Wow, you look way more pregnant than last week".

To his credit, he was totally right.

To my credit, I only smiled, chuckled, and agreed (instead of pointing out how very dangerous it can be to make a comment like that to a pregnant woman).

And if you've been dying to see a prego pic, I guess I'll oblige just this once. . .

By the way, I do know that I am full of it, and that I have been blessed with uncommonly good pregnancy genes. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) Still, I'm allowed to poke fun at my pregnant self once in a while, right?

hahah! I loved this. I absolutely hated being pregnant and am just dreading it again. Just think...you are one baby closer away to being done...Not that babies are bad...pregnancy just thinks. However....I think you look cute.

You look beautiful! Definitely not even close to a hippo or anything. :) (I'm pretty sure my belly was that size at like 20 weeks!)

I love that that is the belly that gave Brad a belly bump! You're too cute Traci!

I know exactly what you mean! Just remember in only a few short weeks you can once again sleep on your tummy!!!

Cutest baby bump!!! I can't believe you are already 32 weeks, WOW! Have you thought of a name yet?

You don't even look remotely like a hippo. You have a cute little baby bump. I know how you feel though.

Super cute! And you are sooooo little! I only wish! Don't you love people's comments? Like why don't they think before saying things to a prego woman! You look really good I mean it and you are too hilarious!

You are right about that. You definitely got good pregnancy genes! I'm gonna cross my fingers that I look just like you when I'm 32 weeks prego!
