I thought it would be good to take just a couple photos as keepsakes for our family album. We are in the last two months now, and I’m very uncomfortable to be honest haha! I’ve had some people online share some friendly concerns as to the fact that my belly is not very big 😂 I think it’s easy to not realize when you see me in a video, but I’m actually a rather tall lady, about 6ft when I wear my hiking shoes. Sometimes when I’ve meet subscribers in person I’ve been a bit worried I’ll intimidate them by towering over them haha (pretty sure I’ve startled some people when I’ve come upon them unexpectedly). When there’s a long torso to grow into, there’s not always a need to grow outward haha! Rest assured, doctor’s appointments have revealed baby is healthy and active.

I’ve re-opened my Etsy shop. I am not able to stay open for too much longer as I need to close once I get near the due date, but I’m enjoying these last several weeks of packaging orders! Thank you so much for your interest in my art ❤️ - I have a new video coming up this week that I’m excited to share, as spring is officially here! Yay!

Priscilla here! First of all the pictures are adorable. Love them. Second of all I only gained 15 pounds my first pregnancy and I'm very short. Everyone including the doctors were concerned. I delivered a 6 pound 6 ounce baby. Jonathan was perfect in every way. No problems. He pasted all his infant tests with flying colors. God is with you and this little bundle of joy. He's watching over the two of you.

I had a lot of people “complimenting” me during my pregnancy saying I was hardly showing, but this always made me either worried about the baby size, or feeling that I was too large already and the baby bump didn’t make a big difference. People don’t realize how their input can affect others far too often.

Oh, same here with carrying my boys! I’m almost 6 ft as well and I carried very big and out front with my first son and then compact and little basketball-ish with my 2nd! I barely needed maternity clothes with the second until the very end. So, you are fine! The tight curled up baby does make the breathing more difficult. 😉

I find more and more that a large portion of the population live in a fear based mentality and see nothing wrong with their projection of that onto others. So, fear not as you are perfectly perfect and I am so excited for you to begin your (hands on) journey as a mother! Sending so much positive energy and 🩵 your way! 💫

Time really does fly by. With only two months left until you welcome your little bundle into this world. Enjoy these nesting months and post only when you feel like it. We will all still be here. You certainly are glowing and these pics are beautiful.

I was the same. At 5’11”, I didn’t have to wear maternity clothes till my third trimester. You look lovely.

I’m also very tall and people are always wondering why my pregnant belly doesn’t really show until I’m 8 months along. 🤪

@robinwashburn8804

I'm tall, too, so my pregnancies were not of a lot of "show." I used to tell people that my babies stood up for the pregnancies. You look lovely!

I totally understand what you are saying as we are close I'm height. When I was on my 8th month my friends and family had a baby shower for me. My Mother in law had sewn beautiful maternity clothes for me. I was so disappointed as I looked like I had gorged myself on a pack of cookies. Haha ! But I had my 6# 6oz son and he was perfect ! I can't wait to meet your bundle of joy !! Hugs from a Great Grandma in Kansas

For those criticizing you not showing, don't let it worry you. I didn't show that much the first time until later months. And my Mom was pregnant at 40 after having 4 of us in her early 20s....she didn't show at ALL until the night she left for the hospital!!! TRUE!!! She didn't tell anyone except my Dad and her boss because she thought we would be worried. Literally only looked like she put a couple of pounds on in the weeks before, didn't show any belly at dinner, came out of the bedroom at 10pm looking like she had a basketball under her dress!!!! Baby was 9lbs 12oz and 23 inches long!!! Extremely healthy!!! He just turned 40 last week! Do you know how hard it is to tell people your Mom had a baby two days ago when it's April 1st? No one would believe me!! LOL!!!

You know you and baby are well. Don't listen to other voices. You are lovely. Thank you for all the beautiful moments you have posted and sharing some of your journey along this path called life. You can make an "old lady" cry. Enjoy this precious time with baby, hubby and family.

@andreascholten4913

Beautiful! ❤️ It's interesting how people comment on something they have little knowledge of! I'm only 5'4" and in my first pregnancy I stayed very small. Actually, I just had my third baby and a lady from church incredulously looked at me and said that she never even noticed that I was pregnant! We all carry our babies differently. 😀
