My 27 week appointment with Dr. V wasn't the most exciting, but it was eye-opening. After measuring my weight (yikes! I thought I was being good!), and belly, he told me that I'm going to look HUGE.
Yup. HUGE.
Dr. V's explanation was that because I have such a short torso and high waist, there's not much room in the abdomen for the little dude to grow, so he's going to be growing outward. S and I have often joked about my weird body shape and that I'm basically a head and arms on a pair of legs, but it never occurred to us that I would look huge as a result of that. This totally explains why my belly is way up high and why I look rounder and more "out there".
Oh well, if that's going to happen, then that's what's going to happen. I'm kind of glad I received advanced notice. It would be really hard on the ego otherwise.
He said that even though I'm looking big, it's doesn't mean that the baby is big. In fact, I'm measuring right on target, so we're looking at an average size right now. In the next 13 weeks, many things could change!
