Not knowing your due date is weird (33/35 week belly pic)

To anyone who has demanded to know where my "pregnancy face" is or why my arms aren't pregnant along with the rest of me, and other very sweet but invalid things, I present to you: Dweej Pregnant from Head to Toe...


Girl you know it's true....I'm hu-u-u-u-u-uuuuuuuuge!

Anyway, for those of you on pins and needles about the due date fiasco, basically the answer is "I don't know."  I don't know if I'm 35 weeks or 33 weeks today.  I don't know if he's due on May 29th or June 12th.  I don't know if I should be feeling ill prepared because I'm not at all prepared at 35 weeks or if I should feel on top of things because I'm thinking about getting prepared sometime soon at 33 weeks.  But srsly look at this pic of me 35 weeks preg with Mary and pray with me that he doesn't, like, stay in until the middle of June, m'kay?  Because Mary was 8lb 4oz when she came on her due date and....well, you have eyes. 

Not knowing stuff, just so you know, used to be one of my least favorite states of mind EVAH.  An easy going husband, a house full of kids, and a life filled with surprises has cured me of that inclination though, because God is clever and gives us just what we need even if it makes me feel a little lot crazy most of the time.

Also, I know I swore to only post the belly on even numbered weeks, but since I did 35 and 37 with Mary & Cecilia , I felt obligado to do the same this time around.  My brain is a complicated place.

And hey guess what????  I stopped being technologically incompetent and learned how to work this here computing device complete with built in webcam and then the one and only Jennifer Fulwiler called me and recorded me doing part of a SUPER TOP SECRET THING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE for her new book

oh yes I did instagram a photo of my laptop.  oh. yes. I. did.  #noshame
So basically I'm done for the month.  Finished.  Done.  Nothing more fun than that could possibly happen in April.  Noth. Ing.

Alright, computer time is so beyond over.  Happy Thursday, amigos!

  2. Did you end up getting the belly support? How do you stand up/walk with a belly like that?!

    Maybe you'll win a Guinness book of world records award for hugest baby ever!

    1. Yes, I got the contraption! I'm totally wearing it in that picture. If you want links, I yammered on about it yesterday. Absolutely life changing :)

  5. My dear, that is how I look with my enormous babies! Exactly. Torpedo belly. Be prepared for a good 9 or 10 pounder...I'm sure you are! God bless! - Vieve

  6. You look lovely. And that hair style totally suits you. I keep thinking that but I can't remember if I've mentioned it yet or not.

  7. Okay, my belly is about as big as yours, and I have no clothes (I'm also due around May 29th, and no, I'm not having twins, and yes, all is healthy). That shirt you're wearing is AWESOME, where did you get it??? You must tell me, one big belly mama to another.

    1. Oh my gosh, this is my saving grace shirt. The only thing long enough that isn't huge in the armpits. It's some no-name brand that I found in the maternity section of TJMaxx 4.5 years ago when I was pregnant with Cecilia. So...probably a lost cause sadly!

  8. Whoa. That is not a June baby. (May 29 is the best birthday ever, btw. I should know.)

    You seriously don't have preggo face! I lost weight during my last pregnancy, like twenty pounds, due to some serious hyperemesis gravidarum (a.k.a. barf up every morsel that passes your lips up to and including the morning you deliver), but I still had a puffy, horrible, melasma-covered preggo face.

  9. April 29 is a pretty awesome birthday... at least it has been for me (so far). There was a 14 pounder born this week. I saw it on the Daily Mail.

  10. I think you look prettier now than in those pix you linked to with Mary. And Tori is right—your hairstyle is awfully cute on you!

  11. I know you don't want to hear this, but June 12th is an AWESOME birthday! (Mine). But, so is May 27th (my sons). You look fantastic! No pregnancy face, no pregnancy arms. You are all belly. Maybe that's why the belly seems so huge? So, you are, like, 100% sure there is only one baby in there. Like, 100%? Stranger things have happened, right?
    Either way, you are blessed, and that baby(ies?) is blessed to be apart of your wonderful family!
