@jholler25: you are such a gorgeous mama with perfect skin!!! sooo jealous!
-
@Coco Bee: Awww you're so sweet! Thank you! I'm actually secretly almost albino white - haha, but I love that St Tropez stuff and bronzer:)
-
@jholler25: seriously... I totally just added it to my wishlist.
-
@TurtleDoves: I think that all pregnant people have Severe Body Dysmorphia, because I think you're still HOT while preg! But I totally get where you're coming from:) I look at my "bump" photos from like 8 or 10 weeks, and I just think "IDIOT!" I was small! I tell myself every day that I am going to be Hard Core Tiny and Fit after the baby. So I'm with you on that! Ok so the spray tanner....I do it 2x a week if I'm trying to really keep up with it, and I basically get 3 spray tans out of 1 can. Sometimes I only do 3 spread over 2 weeks, and so I guess I average about 2 bottles a month. $70 a month for spray tan sucks, but it's just one of those conveniences while preg that I've accepted and don't flinch at. I mean, I used to spend WAY more than that a month on wine! Or sexy clothes! So it balances out, I tell myself. It's one of the little treats I let myself have...Like extra pedicures because my feel grow sandpaper on them like 3 days after I have them done- haha!
I used to supplement the sprays with the gradual tanner they have, which is also awesome. Then I only sprayed like once a week maybe if I had something I needed to look a little more tan for. If you don't mind rubbing in the gradual tanner, it goes on just like lotion. But I am just a super lazy preg so I gave it up. Plus I use so much Mama Mio stuff for stretch mark prevention that it works better for me to do that most days and then just do spray tan every few days.

@jholler25: I totally agree we become warped about our bodies. maybe hormones dont help and losing control. one thing my friend did remind me of though is that because of breastfeeding and healing, as much as i wanna be tiny after pregnancy i will need to make sure i am still eating plenty of calories and wait 6 weeks to exercise, easing it in. this is gonna be hard but in the long run better for our health. the funhouse mirror might last a bit longer. some bounce back super quick and some still look pregs a week or two after.
-
@MrsMccarthy: I am scared! I have to go back to work after 10 weeks and I'm so in fear of not fitting back into my clothes. But I know I have to eat more to breastfeed. It's a catch-22!
-
@jholler25: yeah it's hard. i think the rule 9 months on and 9 months off is a good one to live by or expect. then if you do better than that great but if you dont you wont feel terrible. I plan to do a slow steady course. breastfeeding does burn 500 calories a day but you have to eat like 2000. once we are allowed to workout that should help and i got a belly bandit.

-
Here's my growing bump at 16 weeks! I came back from a week of vacation today and one of my coworkers was like whoa... you guys are growing!
Seriously... I feel huge for 16 weeks.
-
@ladyfingers - nice bump momma!! I think I have that same top.
-
@hilsy85: @MrsMccarthy: thanks ladies!! can't believe how much we are all progressing and how fast time is going by!
-
@MrsJYW: I *puffyheart* your dress . . . you *sell* it so much better than the model!
@LadyFingers: Nonsense! You and your LO are exactly the size you are supposed to be.
-
@oahujeni: Thanks lady! I got it at the Motherhood Maternity at the outlet mall
@MsLipGloss: Aww, thanks! I need to keep reminding myself of this. There aren't a lot of pounds on the scale and the rest of my body is fine, so I know it's all just baby and baby byproduct! It's just funny when I see people who are as far along as I am with barely-there bumps still in regular clothes
-
@MsLipGloss: aww thank you so much!
-
@LadyFingers: I am in the opposite situation . . . I have gained 40 pounds (I am 37/5), but my bump isn't big (I am measuring a little small, about 2 cm, but not enough for anyone to get nervous about). I started gaining weight the second I got a BFP, and apparently it's not going to stop until butterbean is delivered. *le sigh* I didn't show until about 25/26 weeks, and didn't really get a big pop until 30 weeks. At 16 weeks I was dying for a bump! Just ask the lovely ladies on the September Mamas thread . . . I think we were all glad when I finally got a for-real-ain't-no-doubt-about-it-bump.
-
@mslipgloss: i'm right there with you! i'm up 25 lbs and i'm only 27.5 weeks! EEEEEEEEEEEK. but belly is measuring small, and most ppl can't believe i'm 7 months preggers. :T....
-
@mrsjyw: I seriously don't know where those 25 lbs are hanging out on you besides in that nice belly! You look great.
-
@MsLipGloss: Great perspective -- I feel bad for complaining now!
-
@MrsJYW: Most people thought I was due in October instead of the first week of September. The weight gain . . . *oy* . . . I am trying not to focus (obsess!) over *the number* and instead focus on the fact that butterbean is getting bigger and stronger every day. I am retaining a TON of fluid (my legs are so squishy when you press on them the skin stays dented in for a bit), so I joke constantly about the fact that butterbean is definitely living up to her *water* dragon sign.
Either that or I am slowly morphing into a marine mammal.
-
@highwire: you are seriously the sweetest! I think it's spread pretty much from hips, boobs, to belly... oh and my cheeks and chin!
LOL. it helps i look like a bean stalk... but yep - def up 25 lbs total!
-
@LadyFingers: Aww - it's not complaining, and it's totally warranted! Pregnancy is just so wacky and across the board different for everybody. It still fascinates me to find out the differences women experience. Sharing is good! And goodness knows that I have done my share of *complaining!*
-
@MrsJYW: In the last couple of weeks my face has gotten a little fuller (even my lips) . . . but before that, the only *cheeks* that carried any extra weight weren't on my face!
-
@MsLipGloss: ugh, i'm right there with you! def trying not to focus on the number. i think i'll feel better once i get the "ok" on the glucose test i had yesterday. as long as baby and i are healthy, i'll not look at the number on the scale anymore. i can def up my workout regiment tho!
and as far as the other cheeks, def have a butt now, and dh is not complaining LOL
-
