Mommy Talk
This Week's Question is:
How much weight did you gain (w/ picture...if you brave enough:) and what did you like MOST about pregnancy? What did you like the LEAST?
With Kayla I gained an absurd amount of weight. I had massive swelling starting about 5 months into the pregnancy. Toward the end I had no ankles left and I could only wear flip-flops - thankfully it was a summer pregnancy. I gained about 60 pounds. But I lost 20 of it in the first week b/c it was ALL water weight.
Here's me at 38 weeks - we took pictures every 2 weeks and she was 2 days early, so it's the last picture of me (besides when I was in the hospital).
With Alysa, I "only" gained 47 pounds. This time around I had minimal swelling. I guess I'm just not one to gain the 25 pounds you're supposed to. :)
Here's a picture of me at 39 weeks.
My favorite part about pregnancy was feeling them move. It is amazing to me and it always made me smile. The worst part of pregnancy would have to have been the swelling the peeing constantly and the groin pain at the end. Boy that pain would bring me to my knees at time. I actually didn't mind the weight gain - I loved having a belly. :) And I'm happy to report that I've lost all the weight from both pregnancies and the weight I gained from the drugs of infertility. :)

You look adorable! I gained 47 pounds, too, and didn't worry about it. It all came off pretty easily. Thanks for sharing.
You sure didn't look like you gained 60 pounds. You were a cute pregnant lady. I was never cute, but I still loved being pregnant all the same. If I was a little younger I'd do it again. But at 37, I'm not sure I could handle the late nights. And with my luck, the next kid would be allergic to soy and corn :(
So cute! You were all belly, weren't you? Very cute photos...
You are so cute, and definitely all belly!
Your children are adorable! Thanks for sharing!
You were all belly! Too cute!! Thank you for sharing how God has blessed you with 2 beautiful babies. Thank you for visiting my blog.
Sue it is great to put a face with your name. For some reason I can never see the photos you post - until this post. Way to go on losing the baby weight. Did you find it was easier with the first? I can't find the energy to exercise now that I have two little ones.
You said you gained a lot of weight, but I sure don't see where you are hiding it! You look all belly to me!
