Happytxchick- OMG! Your nursery is soooo wonderful!! Very sweet , I LOVE it! And your belly is beautiful! You look GREAT!
Quail_Antwerp- I hope youre taking belly pics even if you think you just look fat because afterwards you'll wish you had! Thing is, us women all look different and none of us fit perfectly into those sterotype model ideals you see in the media. How you look is just how youre SUPPOSED to look, REAL women have stretch marks and spots and saggy skin and yep, sometimes we just look (or are) fat. OH WELL!! We are having a baby! We ARENT supposed to look perfect, we're human! And so what if we started out too big or too small? Be loud, be proud, be big or small or droopy or spotted- just be proud to be carrying a wonderful life inside your body and NEVER feel pressured to conform to what society tells you is 'right'. I myself am getting kinda big for my gestational age (and started out a bit over as far as weight goes), but I have decided to just go with it and just enjoy being preggers and Im happy to be able to look pregnant, even if most of it is just really extra belly fat- no one has to know that but me, and I dont care anymore if people wanna judge me based on my weight. They can go to heck! I have decided not to compare myself to the other preg women I see and I've secretly decided that all the 'skinny' pregnant women have just GOT to sooooo hungry, LOL (no offense to you smaller gals, just my way of coping!).
So, take those pics and if youre feeling brave, go ahead and post em! No one here is gonna judge you, thats for sure! We all know what youre going through or have been there, so no worries! And as soon as I get some pics, I will post mine, WITH a warning though- my belly isnt as 'pretty' as it once was, but its a real representation of what happens after 6 pregnancies. I just havent had a chance to take any pics yet, but now its on my 'to do in the next 48 hours' list!!
