Pregnant after a Loss

omg i am the MOST non-photogenic person i've ever seen

i don't think i photograph well anyway, but ESPECIALLY not right now.  dh and i had to get dressed up for an event last fri nite & i took a pic w/ his friend's pg wife who's due 10 days before me w/ their 3rd. 

seriously, i'm gonna cry.  if my sefl confidence was low, it's hit rock bottom now.  i look like a pasty white heffer.  i take up 1/2 the width of the photo!!  OMG this sucks.  and our shower is this weekend.  good gawd i wish i could just drink to get through the pictures. 

i'm not a vain person but i seriously feel like complete CRAP now.  ugh.  really, i'm gonna go cry now.  can it be May??

  • How about you drive up here to Nebraska and take a picture beside me.  I know that will make you feel much better. 

    I am the same way right now, I would rather not be in any pictures till after Hattie is here.  Have fun at your shower, my first one is this weekend as well.

    I had a mini-breakdown last week when I tried to get DH to take a belly pic for me. Usually I just take them myself in the bathroom mirror, but all my friends kept saying they wanted to see my face. Well, when I saw my face, and all my chins in the pic, I kept making DH retake it. Then he was getting frustrated, and then I nearly cried and just gave up. So I understand. I know it's getting bad, when even my mom didn't correct me when I said I was gaining weight in my face. But it'll all be worth it in the end when we get our little babies!

  • I'm sure you look fabulous; the pregnancy glow covers up a multitude of pregnancy related flaws.  Try to schedule a facial for Saturday before your shower... many spas will re-apply your make-up afterwards.  Hopefully that will make you feel as good as you probably look in everyone else's eyes.
  • thanks ladies. i know you're trying to help & now even that's making me cry.  i just feel so darn whiny and b*tchy lately. 
  • I'm with you.  I actually thought I took pretty good pictures before baby and now I think I look awful!  I feel like a huge whale, with bad skin.  We're all our own worst critic, but I definitely don't feel like a cute pg person!
  • I look good until I stand next to my younger sister or one of my friends. I always look like I have 2 chins, my skin is awful and my face looks fat. Just a mess altogether. I never photographed well though... I'm almost dreading my maternity pics. I hope she's a miracle worker!
