Voyages of a Babygrower

Alien Turtle: the Pensinger frontier.

These are the voyages of the Babygrower Pensinger. Her nine-month mission: to explore strange new levels of emotional instability; to seek out larger pant sizes and fried chicken; to boldly go where no Beth Pensinger has gone before.

 Beth’s Log: Babydate, 16 weeks.

Considered shaving legs today. After the arduous task of bending over belly to examine them, decided to wear pants. Eating daily doses of this in hopes that Alien Turtle will come out smarter than Baby Daddy and me.

Realized I can’t wait for first time Alien Turtle laughs.

16 weeks

Also realized Baby Daddy will receive a sucker punch if he gapes/guffaws at my expanding midsection one more time.

  3. You are so beautiful! I wish I could look half (or a tenth, or one percent) as pretty as this pregnant! <3

      You’re sweet, but you’re beautiful both pregnant & not!

    You are showing really early! Are you sure you aren’t having twins? 😉 I have a 6′ tall size 4 Asian friend who is about 4 weeks ahead of you and she is barely showing at all. I don’t mean to make you feel fat, it’s just so interesting how each pregnancy is different.

      Ash, I totally thought I was before the ultrasound!!! 🙂 I take no offense at all! It is weird how women carry so differently. I have a friend who’s pregnant with her second child and almost two weeks ahead of me. She’s barely showing a hint of a baby, which is one of the reasons JP keeps ogling my belly. (So I probably shouldn’t sucker punch him too hard!)

  5. You look gorgeous!

    All those TV episodes of “Star Trek” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation” paid off! It was hysterical, and I agree with Sarah “the joys of exploring strange new levels of emotional instability”.
