Mother's Day Holiday

Week 16
Happy belated Mama's Day to fellow mothers out there! People ask me "What did you get for Mother's day?" My response "Less whining from Lil' M" :). I really don't expect anything for this day as it's just another commercialized day. I got a card and that's all it counts and spend time with each other. We went to my in-laws to celebrate my nanay and SIL's Mother's Day. I did, however, tell Big M to just count my recent boudoir shots as my gift as it cost some. I jokingly said to him "Actually, thanks for doing the poopy diapers...that's good enough for me!". I think that should really be the gift for Mother's/Father's Day-to have you significant other help you do yucky duties on your day. Ha!

Well, we took my first Week 15 photoshoot of my newly-growing belly. It's getting bigger, but apparently I still "don't look like it". You know-this is my pet peeve...whatever you do, DON'T tell other prego ladies this:

Bad Comment #1
What ignorant Commentor says: "Oh, you're so small...you don't even look pregnant!"

What prego lady hears:"What-so I either look like I'm just getting regular chubby (not prego chubby)...or I'm not eating enough to nourish my alien baby?"

Bad Comment #2
What ignorant Commentor says: "Oh, your belly's so big!"

What prego lady hears: "Thanks-so I'm totally overeating and I *DO* look as big as I feel!"

Case in point, please just don't comment about our size..AT ALL! What good does those comments do for us?

Ok, ending it with a good note-I think sleeping on my side that I had sciatic pains and taking brief walks daily as made the pains go away!!! Or the baby has shifted. It was just funny how I'd get pains even if the baby is not exactly big at this time. According to BabyCenter, my Unit 2 is the size of avocado. One of my favorite fruit. :)
