Can't Blame the Baby for This
So, at 6 weeks, I've officially grown out of all of my jeans. I can't blame the baby for this though, because I had grown out of all but one before I even got pregnant. And since the baby is only the size of a pea (I think anyway), I can't really blame it for me having grown out of the jeans that when I was shopping for, I asked Shane, "Are you sure these aren't too baggy?" To which he said, "Are you nuts? No." So, maybe it has more to do with me having worn tight jeans for the past decade or so. The good news is that a few months ago, I decided that I wanted to wear nothing but yoga pants and stocked up on some. I can still fit in those. And today for the first time, I wore one of my maternity jeans. Did I mention that I'm only 6 weeks along? I haven't confirmed this, but my little pooch of a stomach seems to me to be very similar to the 3 month pooch I had with Caleb. This actually doesn't bother me though. A few months ago, I became resigned to the fact that I won't be a size 4 forever. I'm 31 now and I think my body just feels like it needs some extra padding. Fine with me. Plus, I'm really excited about having a big belly. I really like being pregnant, so getting fat doesn't scare me. I like having a big round belly and filling out my itty bitty bras because it's really the only time in my life that I feel very womanly.

That's the way it was with Rachel. It's weird how different every pregnancy is. If it makes you feel any better, in three week I either gained 10 pounds or 12 pounds. No wonder I'm huffing and puffing my way through the days around here.
Yeah, that does make me feel better :) Do you think you'll go over the usual 40 pounds? I might pass Shane up if I gain more than 40 pounds. He'll have fun with that :)
Yesterday I was wearing my maternity jeans and we went out to eat mexican food. I stuffed myself silly and it was so great to not have to unbutton my pants!
Yes, I think I will. I had really hoped not to but apparently I just can't help myself. The docs don't like it if I don't either. Because I'm so "underweight" when I get pregnant they like me to gain 40. I don't like it though; it's exhausting. I think if I'd only gain 25 then I wouldn't be so tired all the time and having breathing difficulties and the like. It a good glimpse into what it is like to be overweight. I'd hate it. You can't do the same things you usually do. It would stink to be overweight all the time.
