Pooch

[judecorp]

I feel kind of weird saying this after such a dramatic day, but I just took a shower, and damn, I'm pregnant. I mean, really.

I may have lost three pounds but I have this ridiculous pooch under my waist. If I hadn't lost 30+ pounds I would say it's just the same below-waist pooch that people have... so basically I look fat. I guess that's how it starts.

The only thing keeping it from being my old fatgirl pooch is that it is /hard/. I mean, I can squish it down, way down when I'm laying down, but when I'm standing it's like, hello hard pooch. I looked down at my feet and there they are (hello, feet!) but between my eyes and my feet I can see pooch. I want Jen to take a picture but I'm also so paranoid of jinxing anything. That's weird, right?

I can't wear any of my skinny pants anymore. Well, I can, but they're uncomfortable unless I unbutton them. And I get major muffin top. Since I can't really walk around with open pants at Jen's work thing, I had to dig in the boxes for some Fat Pants. And while they are comfy, they do NOT help the whole "look fat with a fatgirl pooch" thing I've got going on. Dang.

Hey, maybe my boobs will start getting bigger or something. I have these groovy blue veins running through them, that's gotta count for something. So sexy. ;)

I bet your baby pooch is cute! Can't wait to see pictures! Also, thanks for fulfilling my obsessive pregnant-lesbian-blog-stalking behavior with your post-an-hour updates!! Have fun tonight, maybe it will help keep your mind off the red-iks!

Eventually, the blue veins will reach epic proportions. They will become almost terrifying. Certainly surreal.

Oh im so discusted.. I wrote this long thing and got error so now I rewrite!!

Jude, You never seem to amuse me. I can not wait till the day I write the same though. Might have to wait till im 4-5 mn preg. due to me being already big.

I also wish my sisters luck on you for being pregnant. Dy had no Labor pains, she gained 13 pounds, (9 was Derek) Rest was water and other baby stuff. She actually lost weight.. Only problem she had was he was 2 weeks over due, and had to go C-section due to him not wanting to come out, and he was to big for her.

Joy is so excited to buy materinty clothes, Me not so much... but have fun doing that as well..

BTW, how did you loose the 30?

my pregnant friends have sworn by these. You can keep wearing your regular pants for ages, because the bella band goes over the gap in your pants or skirts. Plus it's really supportive of your belly as it gets bigger. It won't last you to the very end, but it'll mean you don't have to buy all new clothes *all* the time.

"Muffin top." I find this, for some reason, goddamned hystericsl. We need to name more physical conditions after breakfast foods.

He's got 'cherry danish-face.'
Hey, streusel-butt!

... you get the idea. I am an idiot. :D

It does start by looking fatter. And your boobs will get bigger. Then after the baby's born, and your milk comes in, they'll get even bigger. I went up to a G cup.

Maternity clothes, as expensive as they are, will help accentuate the preggers look and minimize the just-got-fat look.

Oh, you're in the fun stage, where you're not really showing, but nothing really fits anymore. Invest in elastic.

Take pictures every week if you can remember. It's weird how quickly things change...and how soon you forget just how big and uncomfortable you were.

Have fun. Enjoy it. In the scheme of things, it's a really short period of time.
