Yes. Finally, I now look pregnant, not fat!

You know how in the beginning no one is sure if you are pregnant or if you just hadn't lost the baby fat from the last baby? Well, now no one needs to wonder anymore! Lol!

And I can just start fitting into my maternity dresses without looking as tho I am wearing a tent for a dress! But since this is not my 1st or 2nd pregnancy, I am much bigger than other ladies who are due around the same time or even earlier than me!

Yesterday dh and I gave our Experiencing God in Pregnancy Talk at Wesley Methodist Church. So I had a chance to "compare" the size of my belly with the other ladies. Oh man! I win, hands down! Haha! And here I was thinking that I wasn't as large compared to my last pregnancy. How our memories plays tricks on us, eh?

Oh! Separately, I bought myself a Maternity Support Belt. A friend, Sam, was googling around and found a blog of a woman who used this great contraption called Loving Comfort Maternity Support available at Amazon. But I bought mine off eBay. You can find out more HERE.

I love it! It is really easy to put on and best of all, it is comfortable! I can really feel it supporting my back and holding my loose abdominal muscles up. And...it can be used post partum as well! That would certainly help to hold everything together! So if this holds out, it would be really value for money. And if it didn't, I would just order another one!

And if you are wondering about the gender of the baby, it's a GIRL!!!  So now we are on a hunt for a name!

u got the maternity one or the postpartum one?

I bought the maternity one only. The eBay store didn't have the post partum one anyway. But I am thinking now I should have bought Small, not Medium coz sizing still quite large.

Hi Serene,
Really nice to finally meet you in person during the workshop held by you and your hubby :D You look (and behave) so youthful in person! Not that I expected to see someone haggish la...haha!! Very very blessed by the workshop and candid sharing by you guys. My friend whom I brought along was also challenged and much blessed. Thanks :D Looking forward to more workshops by you both, esp, on parenting etc. Ok, but I understand also that u are needing this time off to prepare for new arrival. Keep in touch!
*K*

Hmm...you're not the 1st to have mentioned this. I always wonder WHY people say that?! The other comment I had was - oh! I didn't expect you to look like this. Double hmm.... eh? :)

Glad you were encouraged and am glad you took time to come by and even brought your friend!

Here's to a supernatural childbirth for ALL of us!
