Calling all moms (and grandmoms)....

[catnapper]

Ok, at the risk of her killing me here she is. You tell me this kid looks 26 weeks pregnant!
Here she is Sunday at my mom's house.


Honestly, in the near-week since then she HAS started showing more. Here's this morning when I told her she HAD to have photographic evidence of what she looked like when she found out. My neighbor told her she wished she did the same thing - but when she was pregnant she felt to self-conscious and now she'd kill to have pregnancy photos. Love my neighbor!

Sitting down saying "Oh my God! You are such a DORK!" when I was taking the photo


Standing forward, with the comments being downgraded to "I can't believe I'm playing along with this ".


Downgraded further to "lets get this over with"


I'd like to reiterate that in the past few days she's really started to pop. I would bet by this time next week she'll look every bit her almost-7-months-pregnant.

You'll be an awesome grandma, Kim! Your daughter is very pretty. It's easy to see she has the pregnancy glow.

My co-worker is 4 months along and she's huge! We feel bad for when she hits the 9 month mark. She probaby won't be able to walk.

[JenBKR]

Wow she really doesn't look seven months along, at least not to me. Is she starting to get excited at all yet?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

At least she's smiling in the last pic.

I think it would be easier to tell if she wasn't wearing the jacket thingy and I think you'd really be able to tell if she just had the t-shirt on and tucked the bottom under the belly....I seem to remember....was it Missy?...who had pictures like that and I think it really emphasizes the belly. Might want to wait until she's a little more used to the idea of being pregnant in the first place to suggest this though.

I'm glad it sounds like she's getting over the shock and is maybe(?) starting to have a little fun - what with the decorating and all? Sounds like you're having a ball now that the shock has worn off.

She looks very cute, and I think it's great that you are playing it up now ... she needs to feel a sense of pride in her body and for her precious baby!!!
I still have to wonder how she didn't know something was up .... for those who have had babies ... UMMM, think about the obvious changes that happen above the waist???

Well, maybe she thought those things happened when you get on the pill.

[jenluckenbach]

WOW, so many updates I missed. (darned job )

I am glad you got her to pose for photos. Later on she might even be a little more willing.

When the "room switch" happened, did she get the upstairs room with the extra room next to it (or was that Heather?? I forget). If she did, that would be perfect, nursery right next to mom.

How is she feeling today? (emotionally as well as physically)

Kim,
I am all teary eyed reading this thread. First off lets start with a congrats to the whole family. Second since this was all such a shock maybe your daughter will benifit from some counseling or something to that effect. Since its coming so fast and shes so far along I doubt its still really hit her and we always read horror stories about teenagers being suprised with babies (not saying she'll do anything bad) but her and the father seem to be in a state of shock they may both be able to benifit from it. I also wanted to add I am a new mother at 21 so I wanted to say if she EVER has any questions or anything seeing as how I just went through it all she can feel free to email me at anytime to ask me ANYTHING! I can give you my email by PM if you want. I know there are tons of questions I had when I was preggers and I know sometimes teenagers would rather not ask their parents these types of questions. Last I am a part of a great forum called baby and me it goes through all stages of pregnancy and right up until teen years with support and love. there is even a section for teen mommies only where a whole bunch of teen mommies share questions and concerns here is the website:

Good luck I hope all goes well with your daughter. A great book for her to read would be what to expect when your expecting it was my bible through thte whole nine months. Good luck!!
