I thought it was amazing when I found out that Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor were married because my name is Christine and my husband is Ben. Now they are having their second child in July and ours is due in August! Makes me laugh.

I looked this small or smaller with my first, when I checked in to have labor induced at 18 days past due date, the nurses kept trying to tell me I was on the wrong floor, I couldn’t be due! And my firstborn was 8#13oz, 22 3/4 inches. I was a normal size with #2, but she was also 4 weeks overdue, and she ended up a pound smaller than my son, and 2″ shorter. My “baby” 11 years later I only gained 9.6#, I ate all the same things, took my vitamins, NSND, followed Dr.s orders to the letter just like before, but couldn’t put on more weight. I barely looked pregnant when I delivered, but I had alot of premature labor scares due to dehydration, changes in barometric pressure, (I swear, this was by 3 doctors diagnosis, we lived in blizzard country and I was due in January), and still delivered 2-4 weeks early, but she was 6#2oz, 18 1/2 inches, small for me but normal size, and she had a different dad who was smaller frame than the others probably influenced it some. I guess it can go either way, they said I tended to carry “back” and I did have alot of back labor with the first and last. I’m average height, 5′7″. I don’t remember how she carried with Ella, they keep pretty low key lifestyle, but I think she was a good size. I’m sure the doctors will watch carefully, and the thinness prior to pg could be the running to keep up with an active toddler. She’s beaming, so she must be doing okay emotionally. Can’t wait to see! It’d be cute to have a little Ben, but I don’t have a strong sense either way like I sometimes get with moms to be.

Does anyone remember the show Hey Dude?

I’d like to know when she’s due. I’ve heard three different times: late June, early July, and late July. Does anyone know when?

Does anybody know if they found out the sex of the baby?

What do you all think it will be?

A family member of mine is due in July and she looks like she is ready to pop any day now. But different women do carry differently but she looks like 4 months now almost 7 months! She is a very petite woman though, that could be a reason why but it had got to be a very teeny tiny baby. Does anyone know how big Ella was a birth?

I personally think she’s much too thin, but that’s just me….

I was in maternity clothes by 3 months, but then again I was carrying twins.

I worked with a girl who gave birth to her second baby and was back in her size 5 jeans a week later. It was disgusting. I was totally jealous!

This was the photo from Getty Images that convinced us somethng might be wrong:

It’s kind of disturbing.

I think at first it looks pretty alarming but people have all sorts of shapes and sizes when carrying a baby. It doesn’t mean that there are any problems with the baby’s growth.

In those picture links the pair of them look so in love – how sweet is that the way he’s touching her tummy. I am a fan of the Stiller’s.

But I always find it really funny how really tiiiinny women tend to girth birth to HUGE babies! If you look at Ella she is quite a big girl even though her mom is teensy! Similarly, my friend who is a size 6 gave birth to Bradey who weighed in at nearly 10lbs!
