How Big is HUGE?



My next door neighbor is due with a baby within the month. She is very ready to be done with this pregnancy, but she said it always makes her feel better when she thinks of how big I was because she hasn't reached that HUGEness yet. It seems that all women look back on their pregnancies and exclaim, "I was huge!" Yet I always think to myself- "They could not have been as huge as me!" And then I am led to think that all women must think they were the largest woman ever to bear a child. So upon looking at photo's from my last week of pregnancy with Colton, was I the HUGEST pregnant woman you have seen? Because I sure think so.

It seriously looks like you just put a big ball in your shirt! I don't think I have ever seen anyone that just stuck straight out like that. It looks like his feet are in your back and he is stretching out horizontally. I don't know if I would say you are th hugest because you really are not big anywhere else. I still think you looked gorgeous though!! But definitely all up front!! too funny your neighbor compared hers to you though...whatever makes us feel better huh!!!

Oh my heck, that's real?

Haha, it seriously looks like you just shoved a basketball up your shirt. You can tell that's all baby because that's the only place you show! It is kind of crazy how people can carry so differently though, huh? I'm anxious to see what I'll look in March. Your kiddos are adorable, and you guys look great. Hope all else is well!

I sure agree that you take that award and I've seen A LOT of pregnant ladies! It seriously looks like you just stuck a basketball under your shirt. Before I read the post and just saw the pictures that's actually what I though, "Oh Heather was remembering what it was like to be pregnant" or something. :)

That is pretty huge. But I did see a tv show the other day about a women who had been pregnant with sextuplets, and that pretty much took the cake. Talk about terrifyingly enormous. I think I'd be happy to settle for your 9-month size compared to her!

You win. That's honestly the biggest belly I have ever seen on a single baby. On the bright side, the rest of you was still super skinny - he just stuck out there like a ball! And you don't look all swollen and gross, so I guess the only downside was finding shirts that fit out that far!

It is true, that you stick straight out there. Its kinda funny. But you are so tiny everywhere else that I can't quite classify you as the biggest pregnant woman ever.

Heather, I thought those picts were a joke, but they are real?! are you sure? hahaha. That pregnancy was definitely Taylor influenced!
And I saw Tiffany Fackrell posted, the Fackrells are my second cousins! Where did your paths cross? BYUI?

i thought it was a joking post, cause it looks like you put a basketball under you shirt. You stayed so thin, and the belly kept growing! How are you guys!?

Lauren said...

Is that a real picture? Your belly is the biggest I've ever seen! At least you didn't gain it anywhere else though. I felt like a blimp all over being pregnant with Ava

Christie said...

Heather - WOW!!! I honestly cannot believe those pictures are real. It is as though Colton was trying to be superman in your stomach. It looks like he is completely horizontal in your stomach.

Steph Scott said...

Haha you put my belly to shame! But you are so skinny now, I hope I can bounce back like you!

ERIN said...

I must say YES. Your belly is the biggest I have ever seen but at least you didn't ballon up everywhere else too! I thought that picture was a fake.
