So then I marry Matt who is a pretty understanding guy who makes me feel SO loved no matter what I look like or how I may act and my fat complex kinda goes away (well, it's not nearly as bad anyway). So lately I haven't stressed about it as much. Until now.
I KNOW you're supposed to gain weight when you're pregnant. I KNOW that the baby is growing and all that stuff. BUT I also know that you don't need to gain about 10 pounds in a month, which is what I have done. I actually lost weight in the first trimester but all of a sudden I am 17 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight (which doesn't count the weight I lost at the beginning) and it only took TWO MONTHS to get there. What the heck?!?! I still have 3 months to go and this is the time the baby is growing the fastest. I am getting "fat" too quickly.
I guess I don't need to eat cereal after I get home from work and then eat dinner two hours later. And I guess I can eat oatmeal for breakfast instead of pop tarts (it makes me sick to eat too early in the morning so I wait until I get to work to eat breakfast so I need something convenient). And I guess I can eat carrots or an apple for a snack instead of gummy worms. But it's hard when I want cereal all the time and when I don't want oatmeal or carrots.
This post was kind of a vent but also kinda making fun of myself because I know I don't eat healthy enough. I feel that I get all the vitamins I need from my food and my vitamin but I don't need all the extra stuff (even though I WANT it sometimes)!
All of that being said, I am SO HAPPY and feel so blessed with this little one on the way. He's kicking more vigorously now and sometimes wakes me up but I honestly don't mind. Sometimes I get bummed because this baby means the WORLD to me and it seems like there are so many people at church or in our families who are also expecting so it seems like our baby isn't as special. But I also know that he is already VERY special to Matthew and I and that's all that really matters.
Here's an undated picture of me at 26 weeks which is only about 5 weeks after the last pic I took. You will all be able to see how I have, um, blossomed?

What are you talking about, you look great! But I know how you feel, it's so hard to see yourself put on weight, it really is. I feel the SAME way. My body loves to swell when I reach 6 months. Both times now! Just know you look great, and you will lose the weight fast after you have the baby. Trust me, I eat like every hour, so don't feel bad. ;D Haha, I eat like a cow, I graze all day :P You look BEAUTIFUL! Don't ever forget that :)
You are so funny!! You look BEAUTIFUL!! You have to take advantage of pregnancy...(its the only time you have an excuse to stuff your face.) When I was prego with Corb cold cereal was a staple. I ate at least 3 bowls a day! And I must say pop tarts are delicious...and you are totally justified in eating them!
You are such a beautiful pregnant mom!!!! I love you tons and wish that I could see you before you have the baby! I agree with Stefany though. Take advantage of the fact that it's okay to stuff your face before you have the kid:)
It's your right to gain weight during pregnancy and I say take FULL ADVANTAGE! It's pretty much the only times in life when you can eat whatever you want and it's super cool to be "fat". :) Love you and totally excited to see you soon!
You are such a beautiful expecting mother! If I ever get pregnant I will totally take advantage of being "fat" :D But FYI you have NEVER been fat!!!! (and I am not just saying that!) Love you!
You are ALWAYS gorgeous! I agree with the other moms take advantage of it!! Baby won't be comfortable surrounded by skin and bones... there should be a lot of comfy padding= Bring on the Chocolate, hehehe! :o)
