Here's a belly shot I took last Saturday, at exactly 28 weeks.

Mocha, you are so cute and still wearing skinny jeans! Wow!

[Mochagirl]

Well, I wouldn't exactly call them skinny jeans, but thanks for the compliment anyway . I've already gained 45lbs!!!

[Hobbermittens]

. I've already gained 45lbs!!!

I seriously don't see how that is physically possible!

[Mochagirl]

LE diet, remember? When I got my BFP I weighed about 105 lbs or possibly even less! I'm at 158 now .

[Hobbermittens]

I weighed about 160 when I got pregnant!! I gained 20 lbs on the HE diet.

Yes, well that's one thing I don't envy you boy swayers - while all the eating sounds glorious to me (since that's my normal lifestyle), it sucks to have to gain so much weight before even getting pregnant. Before all of this dieting nonsense, you and I weren't too far off weight-wise. One nice thing about starting out so skinny is that even though I've gained so much weight, I'm still smaller than I was at this point in pregnancy with ds3. I was just looking back on my diary from my last pregnancy (something I haven't even thought about doing this time around ), and at 26 weeks (so 2 weeks earlier than I am now), I was 160lbs, but had only gained 22lbs! This pregnancy I was 158 lbs at 28 weeks but had gained 45 lbs! With my twins I had gained only 35 lbs by 26 weeks (I gained 75lbs overall that pregnancy).

I will post a new pic soon too...forewarned...I am HUGE! I get asked on a daily basis by students.."how much longer?" I want to have the word "september" tempoarily tattoed on my head!

Super cute bump and I LOVE how you look in your jeans!

I have gained about 20 lbs so far this time, and I bet I will gain about 10-15 more. I always seem to end up at around 200 lbs every time, no matter where I start. It's weird. It's like my body wants to be that big no matter what.

I hope I can get back down to 130 or 140 after this pregnancy. I will feel so much better! That HE diet was sort of fun, but hard too, because even though I love snacking, I usually eat mindlessly (and lots of sweets and carbs) but the HE diet requires a lot of balanced meals, carbs + protein together, etc, and I just don't usually eat like that.
