Today I am wallowing in self-pity and feeling sorry for myself that I don't carry a pregnancy in a very attractive way. Don't get me wrong - I am thrilled to be able to have another child. But that aside I just do not have a pretty pregnant body!!!
This all stems from going to the maternity clothing store this morning. I have been fortunate to have only bought 2-3 items this whole pregnancy (and I'm in my 30th week). Several friends have been so kind and shared their maternity clothing with me. But I have now outgrown them and what I wear is a joke so I had no choice but to go find something to put on this body. Well, I will not gross you out with the gory details but let's just say they didn't pull me aside and ask me to model for their catalog... I cannot tell you what I saw in that dressing room mirror (and don't even try to say that dressing room mirrors lie). Cellulite head to toe and I'll leave it at that.
So I am going to go feel sorry for my body and try to remember that I am just a vessel for this child and I can get my body back into shape at some point.
