My belly is growing so very fast. I wish I could say I was one of those women who just got the basketball belly out front.. Nope, not me, my waist has thickened, my thighs, bum and sides have blown out..'Dont get me wrong, I'm certainly not huge, but I feel bigger this time round.
Im not vain. I know all this extra weight is for my growing baby.. But since so much is different this time round I am worrying just a tad that I may struggle to lose the baby weight afterwards.. Bubs is due 5th of December, and my 30th is in May next year.. So of course I have set myself a goal to have lost the bulk of it by then.. It took a good 12 months to lose it last time (actually I lost a further 3 kgs than I gained) so I'm not sure how I will go. I stay much more motivated If I have a time limit for something.
Damn Mirander Kerr and her perfect genetics! Golly, of course none of us would attempt to be like her- I dont think she's even human... But geez it would be nice if it all just went back to before..
What do I miss most about my body since having kids? My breasts.. Yep, though a small c cup before, they sat upright and in the middle.. Even though I only managed to feed for 2 months with Memphis (and getting as big as a dd cup!) they still went south.. Down and out, rather... They shrunk to a measly b cup (which by my standards is tiny) but somehow they still sit very close to my underarm.. It's crazy.
I can handle the stretch marks that faded to a shiny silver (even when I was a size 8 I still wouldnt flash my bare tummy for all to see) I am learning to cope to with LBL- Yep I will say it Light Bladder Leakage. I used to laugh at those ads... Now I nodd in agreeance. It was only the start of this year (so 2 years after giving birth) that I could jump on a trampoline & sneeze without fear of having an incident.. And then I go and get myself knocked up again! As soon as I think about this I begin doing my Pelvic floor exercises- Which I'm sure you'll be doing right now too:)
It's amazing enough- even if we only look at the superficial surface what our bodies can tolerate and the miracles we create.. I wouldnt change any of it for anything!
