{She Said} Body Blues

Had a rough day Saturday.

My body is gaining baby weight just like it gains any weight… all on the bottom. I have started being particularly cognizant of widening hips, growing love handles, and expanding thighs (certainly sounds pretty when I put it like that huh- well, I only had eyes for those things on Saturday). I was particularly self conscious of this on Saturday (probably due to some additional awesome hormones).

This self consciousness only took a turn for the worse when Matt and I went into the Coach store at the mall (JUST TO LOOK!) and after the sales lady asked when I was due and what I was having , she found it necessary to note that she had noticed that I was already waddling a bit. Thanks lady. Why don’t I put you into pants that you always feel are falling down and then two pounds on top of your full bladder and see how well you walk.

Matt doesn’t think I walk differently yet or he just knows the right thing to say on an already self conscious day. I am actually feeling better today about my bodacious body but it’s a lot of change to adjust to. Knowing me (and those awesome hormones), I’ll probably love it again tomorrow… we shall see!
