To begin with, I've always been really happy with my body - I'm petite, and a dancer, and never had any issues with my body (except for the lack of boobs! lol). Now that my body is changing and growing, I'm so excited. I'm proud of the changes that are happening to my body, of the fact that I am housing our little girl and helping her to grow and develop, and I love my bigger boobs! However... yesterday as I was getting ready for work, I got so mad at my lack of fitting clothes! It seemed to happen in the past two days, that all of a sudden I just had a pair of black pants and four tops for work that are appropriate! I was so frustrated with wearing the same things over and over! DH was wonderful, and supportive, told me I was beautiful and to calm down, helped me find a shirt to wear, and let me cry in frustration for a minute. Then this morning, he told me to go ahead and go get some maternity clothes... now I just need to squeeze into something to get to the store! Well... at least things are looking brighter today :-)
Re: First *real* hormonal moment
Understood. I have maternity clothes but my mother got most of them for me (for Christmas, in anticipation of my needing them). I appreciate those, but I still had to go and splurge yesterday at Motherhood because most of the tops she got me were soooo unflattering. I didn't want to spend the money, but I am so glad that I will feel attractive again.
Totally worth it. Have fun.
