Pregnant after IF

holy hormones - I cried last night when DH jokingly said I wasn't such a "little spoon" anymore!

DH got home last night after yet another week of work travel, and I was craving some cuddles and affection.  We were spooning and I said I wanted to be the little spoon, and he joked that I wasn't really a little spoon anymore, maybe a little serving spoon!  And I cried.  I felt bad for crying, and told him he's not allowed to joke about my size anymore, I'm already pretty sensitive as I get bigger and bigger every day.  Poor DH felt really bad, but who says something like that?!?

  • I totally understand. We were watching top chef and one of the judges (gail is pregnant) and I said "what a cute bump!" and he (being nice) said "your bump is cute too!" and I got all upset because, I'm only 10 weeks, I'm not supposed to have a bump yet, so I must just be a fat cow. Sigh. I don't think he'll make any comments about my pregnancy body any time soon.

  • awww that's kind of cute

    DH kept asking me why i was so "out of breath" the other day as if i was some overweight and out of shape hippo.

    i told him it wasn't nice and he said sorry afterwards....  he still wants me to sit on his lap though i'm sure i'll crush him!

    from last wk's ob visit so far i've gained 19 pounds. it's a lot of extra weight to carry around in such a short time frame.  no time for my body to adjust.  i'm happy being short of breath though. i love all my symptoms even the gassy ones ;)
