Reason Number 3,452
on why I am not currently pregnant with Baby #2:
Because I like to be able to tie my own shoes.
and breath.
and sleep.
and people who are only 4’11 should not have to
birth 8 pound babies.
UPDATE: that scar on my tummy is from a scary mole I had to get surgically removed while 5 months pregnant–lovely.

March 12, 2011 at 5:45 pmI'm 4'11 too and I was barely able to walk when I hit my 8th month. haha
Maria-Isabel @ Agape Love Designs
March 12, 2011 at 5:49 pmOk, good reasons! But you must know that you are probably the MOST adorable pregnant woman I have ever seen! You are gorgeous and your perfect little prego body is just too beautiful!
I am not having any more babies because when I get prego I get a terrible disease called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Its miserable, and the biggest symptom is terrible non stop itching everywhere! 🙁
Ive had 3 babies, endured that terrible disease everytime. It was totally worth it! LOL But I DO NOT want to go through it again! 🙂 Im done! haha

March 12, 2011 at 5:52 pmahhhhhhhh you're SOOOo flippin cute! That belly is like, the ONLY place you gained weight…LUCKY!!! Every other piece of you is still bitty! I love pregnant bellies…I miss mine, but definitely in no rush for baby #2 either!
Ashley @ Little Miss Momma
March 12, 2011 at 5:56 pmJust for clarification, I gained a whopping 42 pounds–HOLY COW! and it went EVERYWHERE–my legs just don't look as big as they really were because my tummy was so HUGE! It's amazing I could stand up.

March 12, 2011 at 6:06 pmI too am in no rush to get knocked up again. My stomach still flaps in the wind…when that's all cleared up maybe I'll consider it…
You make a lovely preggo, btw.

March 12, 2011 at 6:11 pmI'm guessing you've heard it a million times but you are ALLLLL BELLY!
And I'm jealous! I'm 30+weeks now and you couldn't even tell…(I mean I can) but most people don't realize it or are completely shocked when I say I'll be having a baby in 10 weeks. I want a big huge round belly….it's just taking SOOOO LONG! So I think you're lucky & look wonderful with that huge belly.

March 12, 2011 at 6:26 pmOh my gosh. You are so little and your poor tummy got so big!

March 12, 2011 at 6:27 pmUghhhhh, I am 5'0", 38 weeks preggo and I swear my baby must weigh 15 pounds! I can't breathe, sleep, eat, bend over, or move!

March 12, 2011 at 6:45 pmOh you looked great but I understand how you feel. BTW I also know how you feel with the spots. I just finished my 10th biopsy to remove dangerous spots. No fun. I have one that I am not looking foward to pointing out to the doc since it is well bicini line area, nice. lol

March 12, 2011 at 7:40 pmYES!!!! I love another momma who isn't afraid to show off all her pregnant belly glory! All 5 ft. 3 of me pushed out almost 9 pounders too….TWICE. I think you should go for round 2!
Now my question is how did your tummy stay so nice and tan? GORGEOUS!
Back in the day, I posted my entire bump timeline here:

March 12, 2011 at 9:21 pmI randomly came across your blog and now added you to my list. 🙂 Love your ideas! Thought this was funny because I am lucky enough to be the same height and even more lucky to have 8 pound babies too! Ugh, it's not very fair if you ask me. lol P.S. I'm on #3..call me crazy! 🙂
Sadie Jane
March 12, 2011 at 9:22 pmReally Ashley!?…4'11!! Holy mother I can't even imagine!! You are a doll for pregnant as always!! I don't blame you girlfriend pregnancy is flippin hard stuff but all so worth it!
jamie @ kreyv
March 12, 2011 at 10:05 pmYou know what's not fair, though? You still look totally cute and skinny. I mean really, look how little your bum stayed through your pregnancy!
Shahny
March 12, 2011 at 10:46 pmYou totally look gorgeous!! I dont believe that the 42 pounds went everywhere. And even if it really did (lol) you have the cutest lil preggo belly. I love it! You must have Baby #2 pronto 🙂

March 13, 2011 at 1:06 amI was big like that pregnant too! I am 5'6 and was constantly being asked if I was due any day now at 6 months. Then if I was having twins. Baby 1 was 8lb 13oz and baby 2 was 8lb 10.5oz. The worst, no maternity shirt was long enough the last two months of my pregnancy. I had to go out and buy the super long tanks from Old Navy, they were the only thing that covered my massive belly.

March 13, 2011 at 1:11 amWhat fun, beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Katherine S
March 13, 2011 at 1:34 amA very good reason! 🙂
Also- a 5'0" person should NOT give birth to a 10Lb 2OZ baby ( That was me! ) 🙂

March 13, 2011 at 1:48 amI only have 7 weeks to go, this is my first, and let me tell you…I never thought I would miss tying my shoes…or heck, being able to see my feet!!!
A.Co
March 13, 2011 at 2:25 amLook at you!!! OMG!!! Sooooo cute!
Ummm, you're only 4'11?! You.Poor.Thing.! Good thing that lil' man of yours is such a cutie 😉
Erica @ Acire Adventures
March 13, 2011 at 3:09 amWow! I guess it's probably your height that makes it look that way, but that was a big baby bump!

March 13, 2011 at 3:14 amLove your adorable prego pics! And the reason's aren't arguable 😉 Pregnancy's hard even for a 5'10" girl too! LOL.
Nelah
March 13, 2011 at 3:39 amMy goodness I thought you had twins in that belly! You are so so adorable and gorgeous. I looked pretty miserable when pregnant lol. I thought my belly was enormous (I am a petite as well) but you won!!
Robin
March 13, 2011 at 3:46 amI can relate! I am 5'2" and my third baby was a nine pounder!! YES, I am done now. I am definitely not a fan of being pregnant, but I sure love my kiddos! :0)
Marie
March 13, 2011 at 4:02 amI'm just happy to have found another adult woman blogger that is 4'11''. Hallelujah! lol. 🙂

March 13, 2011 at 4:29 amYou might have felt bad, but you looked fabulous! Seriously, I'll bet from behind people couldn't even tell you were pregnant. But it is nice to be able to put your own socks on! 🙂

March 13, 2011 at 4:32 amashley, i love your page! you and your husband look like such a perfect match, and yes, just like everyone else said- pregnant looks good on you! im scared of what it will look like on me, because im basically waiting for the chance to have the excuse of "im eating for two" haha 🙂

March 13, 2011 at 5:42 amI am not disgusted by your belly but it makes me cringe because it was so huge and it looks painful.
This is another reason to not have a baby and just keep my furry ones!
Yikes! I don't think I have ever seen a belly that big, you were definitely all baby!!!
Jayna Rae
March 13, 2011 at 5:46 amYou are one of those lucky gals who is all baby and doesn't gain an ounce anywhere else. You look super cute, but more importantly super uncomfortable at that stage of pregnancy. The uncomfortability is worth it though, isn't it?
MyDearJenn
March 13, 2011 at 7:09 amGirl we REALLY had the same pregnancy body! I'm 5'2 and had a 9 pounder with no weight gain but in my belly! I totally feel your pain!
Marcy
March 13, 2011 at 1:03 pmLol. You are so cute pregnant though! BUT, I don't blame you for not wanting to do that again haha! =) Glad I stumbled across your blog!
Lo
March 13, 2011 at 1:49 pmOMG I can totally sympathize with you on that one. Im 5' 1" on a good day and all my kids were over 8 lbs. one neary 9 lbs. I have stretch marks 3/4 an inch thick and several inches long 🙁

March 13, 2011 at 8:11 pmWhile I have to admit you look beautiful pregnant, these pictures just re-convinced me why it was a GREAT idea for hubby to get "snipped" this week. lol
Jamie Rubeis
March 13, 2011 at 11:08 pmTotally feel ya on that one…BUT you are like the cutest pregnant girl ever AND Baby W needs a little brother!
Karri
March 13, 2011 at 11:39 pmAre you really only 4'11"? And you looked fabulous! Glowing! Where's the face bloat the rest of us had?
Laura
March 14, 2011 at 12:12 amHoly moly, girl! That pregnant belly is no joke! Somehow you manage to make it still look cute! Haha!

March 14, 2011 at 1:35 amThat's the cutest pregnant belly ever! I absolutely LOVED being pregnant…I especially loved my basketball!…but I'm 5'8" and only went to 31 weeks with my daughter…and 36 weeks with my son…So…I kind of got off easy in the pregnancy department!
Go for another one…..you can have someone else tie your shoes! 🙂

March 14, 2011 at 1:49 amYou are such a cute expecting mommy! No matter how big the belly, you still have that beautiful glow! 🙂
I swear that's what I'm going to look like when I'm havin' babies. I'm 4' 11" as well, and a measly 95 lbs. My babies are going to double my weight!
I'll be awarding you a little something tomorrow. Check out my blog. 🙂

March 14, 2011 at 2:48 amAshley, you are SO CUTE pregnant!
All your post pregnant pictures of sweet little Baby W and cute, little petite you give me hope that I won't be pregnant forever……and maybe, JUST MAYBE, I can be small again like you.
Kyle-Michelle-Kaylie

coolkids
March 14, 2011 at 8:57 pmOMG! You are only 4'11? You were totally cute but man that is one big belly for one baby! LOL. Both my kids were only 6 pounds 8 oz and 7 pounds 13 ounces but long 21 inches. The big belly is worth it though!
Heather
March 14, 2011 at 11:18 pmOh my goodness! I got huge but my baby was only 7lbs and I am 5'4". Wowzers. I'm working on number 2 right now…and my first is 3. They say developmentally as long as they aren't 6 years apart they will bond and love each other:) (as if they woudn't otherwise..lol) Take your time and you'll know when your ready…if you're like me you'll cry and be totally hormonally unstable and your husband will think your nuts…hehe.
PS! You looked so totally cute! (jealous)
Brittany @ Boots and Pearls
March 15, 2011 at 1:23 amOh my goodness! You are so cute pregnant!!! You were all belly!!! 🙂

March 15, 2011 at 3:03 amI have a feeling that I will be looking somewhat similar to this when I eventually have a bebe! But you look so cute =)
