Am I really THAT big???

My wonderful photographer and I were actually home at the SAME time today...during daylight hours nonetheless...so finally got the 5 month belly shot. I took one look at it after Jason had taken the picture and said, "Oh my gosh--am I really THAT big?!" No wonder my poor veins aren't holding up so well anymore (note to self...compression stockings are like those nasty, itchy drill team tights from high school, only I get to wear them all day long and underneath clothes!). At least I don't feel that big yet ;) Now I understand why I'm having trouble getting up off of the couch recently--those extra 13 lbs. are showing!!

five months On a more fun note, Baby Boy Reid consistently moves around lots on Sunday mornings while we're at church. I don't know if it's because I'm sitting at that time (when at school, I'm normally either on my feet or moving around...trying to figure out how to sit more when I'm there, per doctor's orders...) or if I'm not being interrupted every two seconds by 5 and 6 year olds, so I have time to actually put a coherent thought together. Either way, it's so much fun to feel him wiggling around in there. At one point today, I looked down in Sunday school and saw him poke my belly out a good 1/2 inch!!
