This picture flatters falsely. I don't look this slim.

I see no sign of double chin. Not even a trace. Either your camera lies or your mirror does. (I vote you chuck the mirror and keep the camera! Lol!)

After viewing this representative picture of your slender legs, slim stick-like arms and modestly sized bump - I head straight to the gym, to partake in the Body-Combat class; I almost passed out 15 mins into the hour session, but used your frame as inspiration and persevered! ~Sags

You know...they say a camera adds 10 pounds-so I would like to know WHERE that 10 pounds might be....

I believe you are just saying kind, sympathetic words about baby weight just for my well-being. I am in this alone. :-)

BTW-
DOES YOUR HAIR EVER STOP GROWING? You could cut it up to your ears and have it back to your elbows by Christmas! I WISH!

Ps-Thanks for the picture of you. I was beginning to forget what you looked like! :-)

Alright, for the record, I've already gained over 20 pounds (or at least I assume I have, as I was nearly at the 20 # milestone at the last midwife visit).

And our camera doesn't add weight, it whisks it away! That is, if one is wily enough to simultaneously stand slanted at a flattering angle, jut one's chin out before grinning (which has the dual effect of hiding one's double chin and keeping one's teeth from chattering) and wear black, black, black...

I don't know why my legs look less than they are. My lower half has always been on friendlier terms with the sturdy trees rather than the willowy ones.

Cameras are tools of deceit.

Mags,
Body Combat? Man, you're going to be as crazy as Kadrin by the time Cornell's done with you. (She could have killed a dozen men with the late-night maneuvers she called "exercise.")

Thanks for the beautiful pregnant pose- It's good to see that you truly do have a baby in there, instead of me using my imagination :)
