For those of you who have been pregnant, did it bother you when you ran into someone out and about that you hadn't seen in a while and as soon as you saw them they would immediately look down at your stomach? I feel like I need to have a button made that says, "Seriously, I AM pregnant!"
I get that I'm not showing all that much yet; give a girl a few months my people! I'm sure I"ll pop out like a balloon any day now - but for now, trust me when I say I'm in my 6th month and my baby is huge! He's just a stealth baby! O'Pedro is just tucked in there and kicking me like a mad baby - Seriously, he's big for his level of development. I'm hoping he continues to be big too! I can take it!
I wasn't a toothpick when I started and I gotta tell you, the first 4 months of the baby's development didn't include a whole lot of eating on my part. I'm eating now, but about 1/2 of what I used to be able to eat. I'm so incredibly hungry these days, that it's actually annoying when I have to stop because the hiccups begin.
By the way, that's my sign to stop eating - I hiccup. I try to stop before I actually get to that point though let me tell you. I also CANNOT drink when I eat. It just takes up too much room. It's sort of like when I was in college - you didn't eat AND drink beer because it was too many calories and besides, it was more expensive to get a good 'buzz" going when you had food in your stomach....I know - bad. But I went to an all women's college. We had our priorities my people.
So I've gone back in time about 20+ years in reverse and am now rationing my beverage intake so I can eat instead! How history sort of repeats itself!
So if you know me and have asked for a 'belly shot' - You won't get one for a while. I would seriously disappoint you. I'm hoping by Christmas-time that I'll have a 'belly worthy' picture to share - for now, trust me when I say, I have a pooch, I'm still wearing my regular pants and probably will for a while. I have exactly 2 pairs of maternity pants - hate them and haven't worn them- but that's a whole other post....I plan on making my jeans hold out as long as is possible!
For now, please remember to not stare at a pregnant woman's stomach! It's already miserable enough without thinking you're slacking in the belly size department! :o) I'll get that button made and hey, maybe I'll sell them on Etsy -
Happy Thursday Ya'll!
