FAT

GRRRRRR....I'm at that place in pregnancy that every pregnant woman HATES - the FAT stage. I just look fat, not cute and pregnant, not in shape, but F.A.T. Puts me in a bad mood, every time. AT least it is cold outside right now and I can hide the baby fat under big, bulky sweaters and sweat pants, but of course, that adds to the fatness feeling quotient. OK, enough moaning and groaning, I am still thankful for the newest little blessing that is headed our way. I am even growing OK with the idea that I got a very unexpected surprise. Makes me wonder what else the Lord is up to. Apparently He has very different plans than me. Hmmmmm...

  1. Jen, I haven't even seen you lately, but I can tell you - you are not fat! Every women who carries a child is amazing and gorgeous - no matter what stage they are in. You are blessed to have a #3 and I can't wait to meet him or her. Good luck with the house stuff!

  2. I am convinced that we can be both full of gratitude for the gift of pregnancy AND frustrated about the changes to our bodies it brings! I have so little patience with getting bigger this time around...I'm already over it and I have 20 more weeks to go!

    I have flashes of irritation and resentment about my physical limitations. I'm so sick of sleeping on my left side I could scream....Solidarity! I hope it helps to know you are not alone! :)
