thanks so much, everyone! the comments really do make me feel good.
i see a difference in that my belly is a little higher and a little rounder, you can tell if you look right under my hand in each pic. like i said, i don't really grow out so i'm never going to be very big. i'm already hugely bigger than i was with finn at this point though, i was only slightly bigger than i am now when i got to 40 weeks.
nancy! where have you been?!
