So most of you who have ever walked behind me know I would be classified as the “pear shape” body type. My brother used to say…”Kelly has what doctors call bottom heavy.” Such a sweet brother. My only attribute that seemed to go in my favor was my stomach and waist. Of course, this will be short lived as my new “Sweet P” has moved in on my uterus. This is a minor sacrifice for such an eternal reward….but I am afraid as we document the ever evolving Kelly Belly (Yes, I have heard this since I was 5) I am going to see my one area of smallness begin to match my pear deriere. So here is week 5 of my journey. You wouldn’t notice this, but I have a slight bloated look to my lower abdomen. This is not due to the baby, just preperation for the baby. The real changes are coming soon. For those of you who didn’t know I have tattoos…get over it, my mom and dad had to! We shall see if my tattoo artist was right about the butterfly on my lower stomach…..”Kelly, this is going to start out as a butterfly and end up as a terradactyl once you have had your first kid.” Oh well! Bye Bye stomach…hello baby!
you’ll be beautiful Kel - during and after! and butterfly tattoos are so cliche - who can say they have a dinosaur tattoo?? now that’s cool
Can’t wait to see the “sweet p” grow, grow, grow! Did I mention that I miss L-burg more and more with all these pregnancies taking place? I wish I could be there to walk this road with you. sigh… i guess blogging will have to do for now.
Congrats again!
