Mine to be exact. My crazy masseuse made Tee take a picture of my pregnant back at 9 months. Yup, there sure is a lot of meat towards the bottom. I was PREGNANT!!! Her rationale was that every pregnant lady takes a picture of her big pregnant belly,.......click to learn what next.

Late Pregnancy Tiredness
