Yuppers....this kid is going to either bud out of my cheeks, I'm going to sneeze him/her (for the sake of typing and saving my fingers - let's refer to this baby as him - well at least until I find out if he has the right parts), or I'm going to open my mouth and he's going to crawl out.
What?
Most women - ok NORMAL - women put on weight in their hips and their backside when they get pregnant. This post is similar to one I wrote about a few weeks ago. But, since then, I've been on different motherhood sites (which by the way are NOT about supporting your fellow mommy-to-bes but more about bashing women who have questions that some might feel the whole universe should know...sorry....I regress) - and these sites are all about different mommy's who are complaining about the size of their backside and the widening of their hips - how all those things are in preparation for the baby to have easier access to the outside world.
I know once this baby runs out of womb....hahaha....it's supposed to just moonwalk himself out of ready made tunnel aka Va-jay-jay. Well - not this baby in my belly. This baby - who I really, really, really love and talk to everyday (sometimes I sing to him and sometimes....I even rap...) must be ready to come out of my face because that's where all my weight is going.
I've put on 8 lbs - pretty good for 15 weeks but not great. But, 4 lbs is in my milk-makers (aka knockers), 1 lb in my arms and fatty back, and the other 3lbs...you guessed it...in my face!!!
Some people call it maternity glow - HA!
Thank God for Craig - who tries so hard to reassure me I look great - aahh but yes Grasshopper - you know me well - I am baffled by his compliments when he is looking at the same face I see in the mirror.
But - this body - is making a baby - and this face - is going to give my little one lots of sloppy kisses - so for now I'm going to love what I see (I just wish there was little less of it).
The EVIDENCE (aaahh - I can't believe I'm letting you see this!):

If that baby comes out of your face it is going to totally freak me out! But I think we need to just embrace the fact that we are going to get big, fat, and uncomfortable....keep your eye on the prize; a beautiful baby that you can shower with love!
You are adorable! And that baby will work it's way to your middle. hehe :) You are just in that awkward phase of pregnancy where you may not look/ feel like yourself. But soon, you will "pop", and I think that is so fun.
Hey Czarina! Don't worry about your weight. You look great! It will all come off. That is what I was most stressed about. I did great with my weight gain until the last few weeks and then I started to swell. I gained about 45 lbs but lost it all very quickly. It is definately all worth it for that bundle of joy inside of you.
You are so cute! And I think that your baby might come out of MY face. Now, that would be scary.
You’re belly is so precious!!!
