I haven't done a confession in a while!

Let's see....

1.  DH and I have been really careless with our condom usage this past month.  We're "moderately" ready for #3, but secretly, perhaps I'm not stressing if we do get pregnant again.  It would be nice to have #3 and know we were done.

2.  I'm a Judgy McJudgerson when it comes to my younger sister.  She's getting married a week from tomorrow and she wants to get pregnant right away.  She's underweight and is obsessed about any calorie she puts into her body.  I know she'd be one of those pregnant women who flips about gaining a pound when she should gain about 40, minimum.  I feel bad for the child she'll be nourishing. 

3.  I miss posting on the Bump as regularly as I did, but I'm glad I'm not on as much as I was.  It was getting to be a bad thing for me.

I saw an episode of The Tyra Show a few weeks ago where she was doing a special on anorexic pregnant women. It was really scary. (I'm not saying your sister is anorexic, I'm just saying that's what your confession reminded me of)

Don't worry so much about your sister. I had an eating disorder for YEARS before I was pregnant. The day I found out, it changed my life in more ways than one. I still want to look nice, but I'm finding healthy ways to do so. Hopefully the same will happen for your sister!

I usually hate it when people judge, but I think it's completely different if it's a close family member. I don't really think of it as judging when you KNOW what this person is like. It's not like seeing a random mom with a kid on a leash and thinking, "What an awful mother!" I hope she changes her tune about food and calories when she IS pregnant, babies need FAT!! haha.

Thank you so much for saying this. I am so hoping this will happen. It's not like she'd want to intentionally hurt her child and I know this about her. I'm hoping she'll realize that gaining weight is a good thing during pregnancy.
