I keep getting comments about how much BIGGER I am than I was with Ben, which I find well, annoying. I'll be honest. Besides, I'm pregnant; I'm allowed to sound grouchy. Below you will find two pictures of my pregnancy with Ben and two pictures of THIS pregnancy. Both taken at 25 weeks, 3 days, ironically enough.
It's the same shirt, but apparently quite faded? Or maybe it's just the lighting. Anyhow, my belly is only marginally bigger (23.5 cm in the first two pics, 25 cm today). My weight gain is almost exactly the same. I just look fatter this time around... as has been so graciously pointed out to me repeatedly in the recent past. They say you carry each baby differently, so I'm chalking it up to that. In the meantime, lay off the mean comments, geez. (Just for fun, I looked back at my 25 week post during Ben's pregnancy, and right about now is when someone told me my butt looked bigger. What is wrong with people?!)

i think you look beautiful. seriously.
& for the record, i love that you're wearing the same shirt :)
We need a side angle view of you now at 25weeks. And I am sure you look wonderful, people are just stupid, haven't you learned by now?
Honestly, I think you look fine. Not fat at ALL. What is the deal with people for real?
Oh my gosh...I seriously got that throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy with Ella (from my MIL which just REALLY irritated me...especially since she only ever saw me TWICE when I was pregnant with Ryan!!). At first I felt the need to defend myself and say that no, I wasn't bigger, just carrying different. Then I just got to the point where I would just smile politely...not say anything aloud...but think pretty rotten things in my head! Ugh. People and their STUPID comments! It has only been a couple of weeks since I saw you last and I can tell you that there is NOTHING fat about you!!
You look beautiful, and you are growing a wonderfully healthy baby!!! Great job!
I hear you! I've been asked if I'm sure I'm not having twins, or if the doctor says this is going to be a giant baby, how much weight I've gained, they can't believe how much I stick out...or I've even been told sometimes I don't look "as" fat as other times, and I've been called "the fat lady." "Ohh, thank you." I wasn't prepared for all those lovely comments.
Anyway, I seriously think you look great!! (And, I'm not just saying that as one preggers to another.)
hahaha!! Someone actually said that? How awful! How do people think just because you're prego they can get away with rude comments???
Ah, the humbling time of pregnancy..... But, enjoy the growing little guy inside of you and still enjoy the opportunity to eat some more ice cream! Or maybe that's just me.... :-)
