Q: Measure Them Bellys!

Ok I havent done this in awhile... But lets measure them bellys! For those that are new with this (sorry im not sure who all came since ive done this last) ok what you do is take a string or something (if you dont have that flexable measure tape crap) and you wrap it around the biggest part of your belly and then you hold it up to a measuring tape or ruler and find out how many inches(for non-us measurments im sure we can convert it if you dont know) ... I know, im probably dumb for explaining it, but for just in case somebody doesnt know.

~today im measuring in at 40 1/2 inches, at 32 weeks and 4 days.~
