I swear on my life I had no idea how big my belly had gotten until I saw this picture David took today. I honesty thought it wasn’t that big and even at times have wondered how two babies could be inside---I take it all back—I think 6 babies could be inside that thing! I guess I didn’t think I’d gotten that big because I really haven’t gained that much weight and I still feel so good. I did have a women I hadn’t seen in a while say, “You know how I knew you were pregnant?” “How?” “Because you have a big fat middle and the rest of you looks the same.” Flattering, I guess.
In response to how good I’ve been feeling and that at nearly 31 weeks I am still 100% mobile, my doctor replied, “You’re a baby machine.” Again, flattering, I guess!
I read this story today and thought it was interesting…Enjoy!
Why don't pregnant women topple over?
When you think about it, the human body is really amazing. Women who are pregnant, by any practical understanding of physics, should just topple right over by full-term. But they don't... why is that? Well, good thing we have people in lab coats working to find answers to questions like that every day. Because a new study is out addressing this very issue!

A woman with "average" weight should gain upwards of 35 pounds. While not all in front, it makes me wonder how their back doesn't hurt all day long. The study says that evolution provided women with different joints located in their backs and hips. This actually allows them to adjust their center of gravity!Amazing as it is, these differences had gone unnoticed all this time. So what enables them to do this is a wedge-shaped lumbar vertebra in the lower back. In men, it's square. An important hip joint is also significantly larger (14 percent) than it is in men of comparable size. These subtle differences in anatomy allow women to carry babies without experiencing a whole lot of pain. They can also keep their balance by shifting weight differently!
Another one of life's little wonders. Now how do guys with big bellies do it?

You are one pretty pregnant woman! That's pretty amazing about the different joints and such. How did no one notice that all this time?
P.S. In response to that whole "forgetting pregnancy" thing: I remember mine vividly. I loved being knocked up. I felt great. Maybe you'll remember, too!
P.P.S.S. Thanks for the package! It made my day!
Dang girl you look good!! I have to say I would also think how are there two babies in there. Loved the Christmas card as usual!

Amanda, you look fabulously expectant! My daughter said to me yesterday, "I like how your tummy still feels like there's a baby inside."
I'm not pregnant. But you are, and you look beautiful!
Super cute belly! You should be proud!
