So, I have now passed the 27th week of my pregnancy, and I am experiencing something I never have before. A belly. I mean, I have always had a bit of an extra bit of flesh hanging around my middle, but this child truly is taking up a lot of space and pushing my belly to new limits. When I was pregnant with Sebastian, I never even changed out of my work clothes. I really only sort of looked pregnant. He was born at 28 weeks. I have been wearing maternity clothes to work now for at least 6 weeks, maybe longer, and in the last 3 weeks, my belly really popped out, to the point where it actually gets in the way. Can you imagine, I go to close a door, and misjudge how far out my belly sticks and don't have enough space to close the door without moving first. Or, trying to tie up my shoes, that is starting to become a challenge. It's scary to think I will continue to grow even bigger still, and this problem should only get worse. I am very grateful for this problem however. It means the baby is growing, and since Sebastian stopped growing at some point, I am glad that I continue to expand. It's funny that something so little actual means more because I never got to the point last time where my belly interfered with anything. So, I will continue to figure out ways to remember my belly and make accommodations so that it too fits into whatever it is I am doing!!

I am so happy you get to experience this although as it gets bigger it gets heavier and more difficult. I can't wait for you to post about the trouble you have rolling over in bed. That was always the worst for me! Yay for a growing baby!
