body image


***disclaimer*** this post is shallow and selfish and not meant for people to tell me that bringing a baby into this world is worth gaining weight...even if you end up fat. it is just what i am dealing with at the moment

so here is a picture of me at 13 weeks (i meant to do this last week). anyway, i am feeling very worried lately about my rapidly changing body. with my first 2 pregnancies it took me SO long to show and to wear maternity clothes (even though i so wanted to wear them).

so here i am on #3 and i have a baby bump. i pulled out same maternity clothes and wore them for the first time about 2 weeks ago...man was it so comfortable to wear something not too tight and that i did not need to unbutton after i ate! however, this time i was not looking forward to maternity clothes and did not feel the need to *show* like i did with the first.

i am just quite concerned at how i will look by end of the pregnancy if i keep going at this rate. i have always done okay with losing the weight pretty quickly, but i am already feeling overwhelmed by it. you can only have some many kids and still wear a bikini...right?!?!?! i have always been very open and said that if i ever get a pooch that i will not hesitate to get a tummy tuck (and possibly a boob job while i am at it) so, i am trying hard not to be preoccupied or concerned by a number (my weight) and enjoy what may or may not be my last pregnancy. but man i don't wnat to be fat!

i think it is impossible for you to ever be fat! and if it helps I when I saw you last night I couldnt even tell you had that little tiny bump!

i'm one of those lifers that says... 'my baby is 35 and i'm STILL trying to lose the weight' *LOL*... i remember being prego with Alex and asking my friend almost every day at lunch 'can you tell????' for SIX months... she wanted to strangle me *LOL*... i wanted to show so badly... then one day i woke up and i looked like HOMER SIMPSON! I was like 'WHOA, i didn't sign up for THIS!!!!'... too late though i was hooked on M&M's like it was no ones business... oh, and the baby was coming anyway... i figure as long as i don't grow out of my 10's, i'm good... so what i walk around with them unbuttoned *LOL*...
the end... =) (btw, you look great even if you're not feeling like you do!)
