The first three months of pregnancy were a BREEZE! There was a tinge of nausea here and there....but for the most part, I FELT FANTASTIC! I was on Weight Watchers, and walked for an hour almost everyday. Then, the winter holidays came! I was bombarded with indulgent FOOD and it was too cold to get outside and walk. Month 5 and 6, I was looking pretty pregnant. I was able to fly all the way to ISRAEL and even keep up with my family as we walked through PARIS! Now, at 7 MONTHS, I LOOK, FEEL, AND WEIGH the same as I did when I gave birth with my other kids! People constantly ask me if I am having twins. When I tell them that I only have "one in the oven"....they look at me in AWE and DENIAL!!!! I am also in SHOCK that I still have three more months to go!!! How did I get so big??? Did my daily ice cream and cookie feast do this to me??? Is my baby going to be HUGE!!! Am I retaining lots of water or is it 80% fat and 20% Baby? My HIPS and TAILBONE feel as though they had been hit with a baseball bat. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit, and it hurts to stand! I can't sleep, I can't breath, I can't move.....and NOTHING FITS!!! The only thing that I can stand to wear are the Hawaiian MU-MUs my mom bought me from the second-hand store. They have been a LIFE SAVER!!! I completely FORGOT how hard this is!!!!
Having a BABY is a REAL FEAT!!! As UNCOMFORTABLE as I am,
I know that I can get through this if I will focus on the PRIZE....ROCKY!!!
