Big Announcement:
For the past two weeks, this blog seems to have been all about birthdays, poetry and head colds.
Here’s the Big Announcement:
so?
This is a photograph of me, pregnant with Spud:
Here’s one from a different angle:
Things don’t get much bigger than that.
Actually, that’s a big fat lie. Whales, mountains and my chocolate stash are bigger. Spud is bigger now (upwards, not outwards). My ego is bigger (because you keep saying nice things to me even though strictly forbidden). The tissue pile in my bin is bigger than the tissue pile in the tissue box (still milking it).
Lots of things are bigger. Including my stomach, sixteen years on.
Sigh.

You looked wonderfully pregnant…
The short hair is a surprise… Your tummy is expected. 
My hair has only been long the last few years.
You wear long hair well… I like the longer length plus the color is pretty too.
Thanks. Mousy brown is all the rage amongst the greyly challenged
I have enjoyed our afternoon chat but I really must take the dogs out now. They are casting reproachful looks at me…
Bye, and let’s do this again sometime
Bye and love to the dogs too! Great chatting with you!
Love the dungarees (and you, of course)
My doctor told me a pregnant woman is like an old balloon — it’s easier to blow them up each time you repeat. Grrr.
Hehe!
You are a marvel. I love the pics.
I LOVED being pregnant
Those are good photos of “big.”
That’s a great interpretation of the Big challenge, glowingly pregnant. You look so young with short hair. I had my hair very short for my second pregnancy as well. Short hair does make one look younger, I just had a thought about cutting my hair but I banished it. It seems that you are starting to be on the mend, have a nice cup of tea and continue clearing out your head of all the bad stuff with the tissues.
I have had short hair most of my life. It would be short now if I could afford regular visits to the hairdresser
the saying here is you carry big and high for a boy!!!!!!!
I was definitely big, not sure how high, but I had two boys.
i didn’t realize you had twins, i am sorry, i don’t know what part of that blog i missed
Haha! No, two pregnancies, two boys! Sorry about the mistake but thanks for the laugh
hey!!!!! i am the one who made the funny today!!! give this girl a bozo button!!!! hehe
That’s some chocolate stash you must have! I assume it’s mostly Maltesers.
Hi Tilly Bud. Your comment did not come through. I noticed that happened on another person’s blog too. You may want to check your comment settings. I don’t want to miss a single bit of your wit and wisdom!
Hmm. Thanks Al.
Erm…how do I check my comment settings, exactly?
Wait a minute – you noticed that happened on another person’s blog…are you stalking me?
Well, since you have 224,000 stalkers..er..I mean followers, I’m bound to run into you somewhere else.
Finally!
That’s not your stomach silly, that’s your belly. I nominated you for the Sunshine Award, although I have no idea how to get it. I noticed Al had it on his site. Perhaps you can steal his. Dianne
Thanks again for this. I know it went off at a tangent, but I was glad to get the post I did from it.
Yup, pregnancy does that to you, even me! I still have a pot belly!
I have a five pot belly
Very impressive indeed!
If I start to look at pictures of me pregnant, I get the vapours, Tilly. You are a courageous woman.
Not at all – pregnancy was one – two! – of the best experiences of my life
I don’t even know if I have any pictures of me pregnant! If so, they are buried deep in some drawer. I loved yours!
I’m shocked by how many women don’t want to show off their bump time
The print on those overalls is pretty big, too.
I have a dress with an even bigger print but I can’t find the photo
I have been guilty of compliments lately, but please don’t revoke my Maltesers privileges!
I won’t, but only because I can’t believe your husband missed your birthday.
Well I believe that – he is a man, after all – what I mean is, I’m shocked.
I got super huge both pregnancies, and my daughters did too. They got thin again, though. I didn’t.
That must have been an award-winning spud!
There is a special glow about you in the photos above.
Wow, that’s quite impressive! Are you sure there was just one baby in there?
