My little man has been growing in my belly for nine months and he has been "remodeling" his habitat along the way. My belly grew like crazy!!! Just when I thought it was so big and it couldn't possibly get any bigger, it would continue to grow! I had people ask me left and right if I was carrying twins or they assumed that I was ready to pop any minute but when I told them I still had 5 weeks left, they would laugh in shock and in horror of how much more I had left to grow. Honestly, I can't complain much of how big I got. I am a very short girl, 4'11' (and a half). I don't really have much space in my torso as it is very short. In order for Buggie to grow big and strong my belly had to protrude outwards.
I have to say I love how my belly looked pregnant...well, that is up until I was 32 weeks or so. After that I looked like a walking circus. Unfortunately I got stretch marks at the end of it all, but I don't mind those as they are Buggie's marks on my skin that say "I was here, circa 2011." So here are the photo chronicles of my growth. I stopped taking pictures at the end but decided on one more just to have a record of how big I got. Fortunately I took it just in time, Gabe was born 4 days later.
