Belly Update
Well, there’s not a belly update, really.
I’m just looking, well, stocky.
I’m just rocking a thick middle.
Thick middle.
I have never been tiny, always medium. I range from medium to large medium.
And wherever I fall in that range, I have all kinds of insecurities and self-hates.
And when our dear friends come and put their hands on my bloaty, bulgy, very thick middle, well, I recoil.
I want not to.
I want to proudly wear snug tops and
lift up my shirt to show the world,
“HEY! There’s finally a fetus up in there!”
But that’s not going to happen.
Not to mention the tattoos readying themselves for mass realignment.
(You REALLY don’t want to see those.)

Quite frankly, this is the BEST belly update I’ve ever seen.
The pinky is what really does it, I think.
“Spermination.” My problem with this site, as always, is its excessive romanticism and mushiness.
You look beautiful.
I’ve always found it strange that people think they can touch a woman’s belly, just because she’s pregnant. I say if it makes you uncomfortable, TELL THEM TO STOP!!
And I think you look lovely.
it’s always funny to hear things like this, because i remember meeting you once, maybe 3 years ago at a party in san francisco, and finding you to be utterly beautiful. like, the most beautiful girl in the room kind of beautiful. that’s not to say that we all don’t have our own insecurities, but remember that it’s all relative, and you’re a fox!
you look great! but, i will admit it is weird adjusting to your new body, used for new purpose. the “thick” period is a little tough to deal with for an average girl, but thankfully only lasts a few weeks. one day you will wake up and “stocky” thoughts will be replaced with “i actually look pregnant” thoughts and it is good.
Please. I would drown a kitten for a drop of your beauty.
Ending sentences with yo makes me happy inside, yo.
That’s a tough stage – the larger but not pregnant looking stage, but I think you look cute as heck!
Still smokin’ hot.
Oh, but I do–want to see the evolution of your tattoos as your belly grows. Think of it as Performance Art. Pretty please…..
You look beautiful!
While I am also a fan of the movie Clerks (gotta love comment spam), I am actually pausing to say that I think you look fab. Always have, always will. I love this update. Embrace your embiggening! You’ve got nature’s most joyful miracle working under that shirt, flaunt it.
Can you work the word “jugs” into your next post?
I understand how you feel…however you gotta believe at least a bit of what everyone is saying. You are gorgeous! To me you are just so beautiful so hang in there, Mamacita
