I'm going to kick myself for not Photoshopping out the stretchmarks.
One of my regrets in life is not appearing in many photos. I'm too self-conscious to have my picture taken, and as such, I have very few of me with my Bean. I wish Bean had more pictures of mama. I have only a few pictures of my first pregnancy, taken at my baby shower. They were taken with me turned square to the camera, which is the MOST unflattering angle possible for any woman, let alone pregnant ones.
I haven't gained any weight this pregnancy. I'm actually under by five pounds. We (Dim and I) went to see a nutritionist right before I knew that I was pregnant, and by and large I've stuck with her recommendations. (She recommended that I eat duck. Ewwwww.) I'm eating a lot healthier these past months. Between weight loss from giving up almost all junk food and weight gain from the pregnancy, I'm five pounds under my first prenatal visit for this pregnancy.
But girl scout cookies come out in a month or so, don't they? Mmmmmm, thin mints......
Posted by Jen at January 22, 2008 9:24 PMI forced myself to do pictures after my first was born because I kept thinking, "What if I die in childbirth? What will she have of me?" and then same with the new baby.
Morbid, I know, but as uncomfortable as I am in my skin, I wish I had more pictures and I'm kind of used to the way I look now, especially after two kids 23 months apart.
Great job on your weight (loss) - you look beautiful!
Posted by: sweetcoalminer at January 23, 2008 12:18 PMYes, good job on your weight loss. Last time we saw you I was going to say something but I have found when it comes to women and ANY issues of weight, the smart option (over bringing it up) is to smile and say nothing.
Smile and say nothing.
Smile. Say NOTHING.
