20 weeks
Turns out I'm feeling so much better! All it took was realizing just how beautiful it is to stand on the scale and discover that I've already gained seventeen pounds! I can't wait to shop for panties that have more square footage than a pool cover!

The princess factory caught on film.

I love this photo of a pregnant fairy! I am sure Leta is in heaven. I can understand the gaining 17 lbs, I just had someone send me a congratulatory email saying I look "healthy and chubby". Uhh do I send a thanks?!!!!
606. Undomestic Diva said:
Oh my fucking god those are the best belly photos EVER.
607. Tink said:
Priceless photo!
608. Amber said:
You are so cute! You should have that amount of belly all the time... it looks good on ya!
And the tiara and tutu add some punch to the overall look. Nicely styled.
609. Tink said:
Priceless photo!
610. Amber said:
Also, I'm telling the kids in my life that this is the tooth fairy.
611. Molly said:
You're hilarious.
612. Sully said:
How cute! I aspire to be as cute as you are when I get preggers someday!
613. BusbySEOtest said:
good to see a girl happy about gaining a little weight lot of girls try to be to skinny just look at Paris Hilton I don;t think she look sexy only to skinny
614. Lisa said:
Best damn pictures ever! And you look gorgeous!
615. Eunice said:
Heather! You look absolutely adorable! My favorite pictures of you ever. I need to get one of those skirts....
616. Swade said:
How are you going to top this?! :D
617. Kim from NY said:
OMG!!! Ha! Is that the wand and tutu that came in the princess book I sent Leta? I had a feeling you would snag them;) Love the pics.
618. Anna K. said:
ok please keep this up on the regular?
too funny.
also, holy crap you are PALE.
like porcelain.
lovely and adorable.
as per usual, of course.
619. Albert said:
I love the second picture the most -- it sums up the super highs of pregnancy to a T... I bet if you wore that outfit to American Idol they'd have to let you in just on principle, despite what Simon would say... ;)
620. Metalia said:
I thought my Juno belly shot was good (http://www.flickr.com/photos/59139543@N00/2296956784/), but these are equally awesome. :)
621. gavintiegirl said:
You have outdone yourself this month. Did you do this because the last few pictures were so bleak and blah? Did someone comment and say; "why do you look so hum drum in your progress pictures?"
622. jennielynn said:
You are friggin' made of awesome.
623. Jes said:
Hilarious! Especially when compared to the previous weeks' photos.
624. Miss J said:
Hmmph. I have more tummy than that, and I'm not pregnant. But, then again, I am also woefully short.
625. Micah said:
May I please print these pictures out and take them to my gynecologist to hang on the wall of his waiting room, alongside all the semi-creepy black/white pregnant lady pictures? These are truly, truly amazing.
626. Kate said:
Freaking deeeee--lightful!!!
BAAA!!! and the prevent spam words are:
Giuseppi bread
snoorrtt!
627. Jayne said:
Has anyone commented on your haircut? That's one of the first things I noticed, it looks good. Great to hear and see that you're in a happier pregnancy space.
628. Genn said:
Terrifyingly cute... or cutely terrifying - can't decide.
629. Sensibly Sassy said:
This is the cover for your next book!
630. sara said:
ROFL! you do look great, that much is obvious. But ROFL! I love the psycho fairy princess getup and it's obvious stark contrast of the other "I will kill you if you tell me to smile again" shots. :)
631. Crawforn said:
In the words of one of the contestants from the Miss America show last weekend "...Wicked Awesome..." ~ works perfectly for these 2 pictures!
632. Eper said:
What a beautiful belly you have! I'm 17 weeks pregnant and haven't gained a single lb! I've even lost weight from all the nausea and vomiting.
633. Becca said:
I had a horrendous day at school but these two photos totally made my day! You're too funny!!! :)
634. Kirk said:
My God - Leta must have been beside herself.
635. Natasha said:
AS IF you gained 17 lbs. Oh, that's right. I forgot how tall you are. Okay, maybe you gained 17lbs.
Very cute photos. So envious of the lighting and your Photoshop skillz.
P.S. My captcha says "straight dental" and guess what? I just recently got braces off. Weird.
636. Natasha said:
Okay, this is interesting, probably, only to me: That looks identical to the colour I painted MY daughter's room in October. It's a soft buttery yellow-cream from Behr. And I've said before that our hardwood floors are identical. A few other things too, but those are the ones that stand out in my mind. Anyway, I love your taste. Our next house will be a lot more modern. If... we win a bunch of money.
End of boring story.
637. Sally said:
You got attacked by the princess stuff when you were cleaning out Leta's room, didn't you???
It's cute though.
638. Zinzy said:
Heather, we already know that this is going to be an awesome baby, and if there's anyone who didn't know that yet, THIS WILL SHOW THEM.
You're awesome.
639. Andrea said:
These are pretty much the best photos of you ever. I mean that in a complimentary fashion.
640. Michelle said:
Um, if this is 20 weeks pregnant I want to be pregnant.
641. Anonymous said:
So this is what 20 weeks without alcohol looks like!
;-)
642. Connie said:
Okay... this is some sort of strange combo of pregnancy bliss, fetish porn, and infantile princess fixation... with a little bit of mental hospital crazy mixed in... but hey! It's workin' for ya babe! ;-)
643. Kabon said:
Great Design. Nice to know you here. Just following you on twitter, guest which one ?:D
644. Jet said:
Okay, I'm a little hesitant to say this, only in part because I don't want to think about what it says about me, but, damn, those pictures are hot.
645. Andee said:
LMAO at these pictures! And of course, you look great.
Psssttt! Little secret - you ALWAYS gain more the 2nd time around. It's a bummer.
646. Maya Bekanntschaften said:
Wow, i like pregnant mom´s blog, i have bookmarked three of them and i like to follow pregnancies. i am happy to discover a new one, i ll keep on reading you,,,,

647. Krista M said:
Dear Dooce,
I love you and your smartass blog, but please refrain from complaining about a 17 pound weight gain when you can still fit in your daughter's shirt, and I can not get my son's shirt over my right forearm. That will be all.
Smooches!
648. Ninotchka said:
OMG. I had no idea you were pregnant! That is so awesome. Congratulations!
649. Ashley said:
You all should get Leta some cute little monsters here so she can practice on having a tiny monster around. :)
650. Kerri Sullivan said:
hahaha, I love you!
651. Stacey said:
I absolutely love the pictures! Too cute!!!
Your sense of humor and kickass sarcasm brighten my day; I love reading your website!
652. Susan S. Johnson said:
LOL! You crack me up! Didn't Chuck wear that same tutu not long ago?
653. Robin said:
I'm sitting at work hating today and I do my daily "what's Dooce up to?" then OMG, thank you. You made my day. Too bad your 20 weeks baby belly is my every day belly. I'm so glad you feel better! Cannot WAIT to meet this lil baby girl!
