On the weight gain front, I am proud to say that I have gained 9 pounds or so! I never thought I would be happy about it, but all the doctors and nurses stress it to me about every 2 minutes, so I am eating when I can, and trying to get a good amount of protein, too. My thighs are starting to show it, and it is not pretty. I knew that early weight gain to build up fat stores had to go somewhere, I just hoped it would be my breasts and my belly... not so much. Today when I put on my bikini, I was saying I looked like my hips and thighs had grown (in a sad voice) and my daughter comes in and says, "Oh Mommy! You haven't grown. You are still short, so don't worry!" She always yanks me right back to what matters. In this case, baby-growing, not looking toned in a bikini.
It's me. You friendly PNW stalker friend. Your belly is adorable and too bad that's me on a good day and I'm not even pg right now!!! I am so excited that you are 12w and will be starting your second trimester soon!!! Will you share names of your little darlings once you pick them out?
ReplyDeleteOMG! Love the belly.
ReplyDeleteI've also been disappointed by how much of my weight gain has gone to my thighs. It's not like I really need any more in the boobs, but really?
I think you look great! And congratulations on two girls and a boy! That is so exciting. I'm glad there is a boy in there somewhere for you and your DH.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive change in one week! I wish I could catch up to you a bit in the weight gain, though!
ReplyDeleteYou look darling!
ReplyDeleteOh, your baby bump is BEAUTIFUL! I'm already bigger, and although I'm in love with my bump, the weight that I've gained has gone to all the wrong places (upper arms, hiney, thighs). Ugh. I feel your pain, but you look oh so stunning!
ReplyDeleteRe: the exhaustion. Your comment on my blog made me feel less alone in all this. When I reach the top of the staircase, I need to take a moment to catch my breath! I'm working full time, and by mid-afternoon, it's such a battle to stay awake. I, too, wake up in the middle of the night constantly and feel more tired in the mornings than I did when I went to bed the night before.
I really hope the fatigue eases soon, for both of us. Hang in there, Carrie.
I love your belly! It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've only got the one growing, plus I'm heavier to start with so it's going to be a long time yet before I look like I have a belly.
What an adorable belly!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a beauty! I wish my belly was that cute! I think you should wear a bikini every day!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful and very cute! Can you believe there are THREE little babes in there, baking away?
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
