I have been having some awesome meltdowns as of late. I try to put on a shirt and lo and behold I look
like I huge heifer and immediately take that shirt off and go through the same
process with another one. By the time I am done, there are 12 clean shirts thrown
on the bed, I am in tears, and still don’t have a shirt on.
I went to H&M Mama section to try to get my life in
order and buy some clothes that fit me. They had tons of cute things but of
course everything was XS and S. That doesn’t even make sense. You are pregnant;
no longer can you be considered XS. Jesus H- what does that even mean, XS? Bush-league.
Eat a cheeseburger. I did end up finding 3 shirts that were of normal people
size and snagged them right up. Don’t judge me if I am only wearing the same
stuff in a rotation of 3 days. I’m feeling chubby so let me be.

This is such a weird stage to be in. I want to be showing so
no one has to guess, but my expanding bod freaks me out! Every Friday I get
super excited to take our progress pictures and then I look at week 4 and
think, “My boobs were awesome and my stomach was so flat-what the hell was
wrong with me?” Some days I feel awesome about my belly, other days I am self-conscious
and just want to hide in LJs sweat pants and an over sized tee shirt.
Everything will get better in a few weeks and then there
will be no mistaking the fact that there is a kid in there. Per this meme I believe
I am leaving fear and working my way into acceptance. Excellent.
Sidenote: the stages Violet Bauregurd and I will cut you, literally
made me laugh so hard that water came out of my nose. That is freaking awesome
internet-you win.

I remember when I started to show. I recall being at the gym and looking down at my belly. I would purposely rub it, hoping people would realize I was pregnant....it gets better. I'm sure everyone tells you but you look great. I ended up shopping at Forever 24 and NYC and buy XL because I hated maternity clothes.

I go through the same thing every day and I'm a guy. So I guess what I'm saying is, men can know what it's like to be pregnant. Chalk it up to the cheeseburgers.
