ok nothing is worse when you tip the scale at 172 and you still have 2 1/2 months left of weight gain- oh good! This pregnancy has been so different from my first.
I am to say the least very squishy to the touch. Softness is a kinder way of putting it- ghetto booty, thunder thighs, relief society arms- you name it- I claim it. I am sure it is beautiful in some special mothery way but I just feel so...um...fat? It isn't the best feeling to feel when summer requires less clothing and plus it seems like this is the season to get in shape- everyone I know is on some kick to lose weight- hello? not fair? give me a twinkie please-
No honestly I eat fairly well and I feel that I am super busy with the new house, yard work, chasing Mckenzie, bike rides- but "mother" nature is taking its course on me and I just feel like complaining. I can't wait to have this little baby and to somehow get my body back. Does anyone know how I feel?
Pants are tight, shirts too small, ankles swollen, uncomfortable in bed- I need to start a business designing maternity clothes. It is so hard to find a shirt that is half way cute that doesn't have a v-neck all the way to your cleavage. Most summer maternity shirts are sleeveless or almost sleeveless- the pants never fit right- my butt always peeks when I bend over or get in the car- plus maternity clothes are never on sale. Oh the beauty of it all-
So I complain...in hopes it will make me feel better- which it doesn't- but then again nothing compares to feeling a little one inside kicking and reminding me of the precious life I am helping to create- so bittersweet this whole co-creator thing.

Oh April, if anyone knows how you feel it is me! Just wait until your third pregnancy...it gets worse! LOL I swear my body will never be the same again. My boobs still haven't shrunk from when I stopped nursing Lacy. I swear they are the fat holder now. Ahhhh what our bodies go through! I feel for ya!! :) Plus, it is worse in the summer when it is hot....
I feel your pain! Just remember that it's not your normal body size and there is a GREAT reward for all your hard work, changing body, weight rollercoaster. It's not fun wearing prego clothes or even buying them if for short term!
April all will be well. I know you know that but sometimes its fun to hear it...isnt it?
Hang in there and know that you are loved!
