Clearlyclaire - I was waiting to look pregnant too! I think I look more pregnant from the side than from the front. I think it has everything to do with being more circular than elliptical. I tend to grow more front to back than side to side.
Pil - We need video capability on the forum then I'd be able to show you my waddle. Sometimes are worse than others -- usually when I am trying to get to the potty. Rolling over in bed -- the bane of my existence, trying to get out of bed -- also the bane of my existence. I'm not sure about a beached whale but I definitely feel like a turtle on its back frequently
Parsley - Oh, there will definitely be pictures shared on the forum. I can't promise that DD will look any different from any other newborn though. I am firmly of the opinion that it takes about 2-3 months for babies to start looking like themselves with their own distinct features. Either way I can't wait to find out what she'll look like.
Aquamarine - proof that I need to supply the forum with profile shots. I definitely look more pregnant from the side than the front.
AviaMariah - I have escaped puffiness for the most part but my hands and feet do swell every other day -- that's when I reach for my ever-present glass of water and put my feet up.
