I am not glowing.
In fact, my face looks like I'm a teenager/old lady at the same time. I have zits. And dry spots. And ruddy sections that span my cheeks and chin.
My legs are hairy, and so is my belly, which is super sexy. I can't even see my lady parts anymore so shaving that region has become pretty much impossible. My hair is growing so fast that I have an inch of regrowth already and I only had my hair done 5 weeks ago.
I want to pass out if I don't eat for an hour and so, it appears that by the end of this pregnancy, I will indeed hit the 200 pound mark on the scale. A milestone I was hoping never to reach, pregnant or not.
And I know I've mentioned the farting already...
But my baby is doing great and measuring perfectly and kicking up a storm. It's strange to long for that feeling for so many years and then to finally have it, right here in my belly. Every day. And although it's a cliche, I will have to say that all the struggles, the tears, the meds, the appointments, the blood draws and even almost weighing 200 lbs... totally worth it.
When people have told me I'm glowing, I reply, "That's not a glow...I'm sweating!!" but having my own personal little furnace has been nice through this cold winter!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You rock! You'll make it through. I remember the day I was expecting my son and I went for my weigh in and was at 200. Went to McDonalds and celebrated. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it indeed! I'm afraid of that very same 200lb mark when I get knocked up... but I also go back to the "as long as i'm knocked up, who the heck cares how much i weigh!"
ReplyDelete200 eh, I can do that in my sleep. I am sure you are beautiful and I wish I could see your beautiful belly in person. - edawg
