I'm having a pity party (PIP)

Amanda&Chris

This was me in January before I was KTFU

This is me 2 weeks ago

And it's just going to get worse. I still have my whole 3rd trimester to go.  I'm just sick of feeling, huge, clumsy, tired and unattractive.

But I feel like all I've done is complain about this pregnancy, so I'm really going to try and be more positive.  I shoudl get to schedule my c/s tomorrow at my appt and after that I am going to make a serious effort to look on the bright side.

But for tonight, I'm having a pity party. :P

Love those jeans. 

I think you look great, but it really doesn't matter what I think if you don't feel good about yourself.  So I will say, my tried and true method of feeling better about myself is a new makeup look.  It always fits.    And just makes me feel good to have a new look.  Now would be a good time to get some new fall colors, too!

Great jeans!

You know, I felt that way my entire second pregnancy too. Now I look back at the pic that I posted below, and even though my arms are as big as my legs and my ass is as big as the deck, I still love it, and remember that time fondly.  I know it's hard,but try to enjoy it- it's your last pregnancy, right?

And FWIW, I think you look great Schedule a spa day when your H comes home- loved the prenatal massage!

I think that second pic is what my gut looks like right now!

You look great and ditto everything e said!

E-  You're so right!  I saw a bunch of new MAC stuff in Glamour that I like and I just need to go in there and have them give me a new look.

I ditto the new makeup/haircut/massage/pedicure, all that stuff. I felt like a mom hag my entire second pg and remember what a difference a new haircut made. I felt cute again!

Of course, IMO you look GREAT and will slim down again in no time afterward. I'm sure of it!

Awe, I think you look adorable!! Want me to send you a pic of my H's severed nut tubes and my molding eggs?! ?Sniff sniff, I want another one (or 4).

Anyway, I agree, go get some pampering and buy yourself a new outfit or two. ?ALWAYS made me feel better when pregnant :-)?

Ditto on the jeans-you will get into them again soon!  Promise!

Sorry you are so over this pregnancy.  Maybe if you schedule your c-section you will have a light at the end of the tunnel?

I remember that photo and wanting to kick your a$$ b/c you're so skinny. I think your tummy is adorable. All baby. Would it make you feel better if I told you I'm like 20 times your size and I'm not growing a person?

I know - I used to look at pre-pg pics and long for that body again. You'll get back there once your adorable little baby girl is in your arms!

you are still a tiny little peanut! you're pg---you need to gain something!

I felt your pain.  I even gained less with #2, but was still fatter and uglier somehow.

You aren't though.  You're a cute pg lady.  I wish I could be that small.

Have a pity party!  You deserve one-you're pregnant!

LOL.  My tummy may be all baby, but my thighs think they're pregnant too.

Embrace it girl.  It's not permanent and it's a beautiful thing.  Think of it that way.

A&C you look great!  You're allowed to feel that way no matter how you look though.  I don't know if this will give you any hope at all, but I always heard that losing the weight gets harder after each kid.  I was determined not to let that happen.  I really worked hard after E was born and have been below my pre-pg weight for quite awhile now.  Set a goal to get back into those hot jeans and you'll be there in no time:)
