What I learned from this photo

a) my husband is a TERRIBLE photographer. I had to explain to him that the viewfinder is not just to admire your photo after the fact, but to help set up your shot. This is take 73 I think, haha!

b) I'm growing a pack of hot dogs on the back of my neck. Dear God.

c) it is no longer physically feasible to suck in my gut. I tried. The photos of me sucking it in and the photos of me letting it hang look exactly the same.

d) I have REALLY fat upper arms.

e) this ponytail is NOT the most flattering hairstyle for me. Oops.

f) I officially have a "booty-do", in which your belly sticks out further than your booty do.

g) I miss my acrylic nails.

Anywho, I have my first pg progress photo. So I waited until 10 1/2 weeks. I'm a bit slow. I'll just do them 5 weeks apart or something. Heck, I'll do them when/if I remember, who am I kidding? I'm a forgetful spaz these days.

I weighed myself yesterday, and I've gained 5.5 lbs so far. If I look back to what I weighed when I conceived though, I'm only up 2 overall. I was 187.5 then (stupid holidays and all that food!), and over the next few weeks I got down to 184 (yes, I'm a fat ass, I've dealt with it) and now I'm up to 189.5. It feels like more.

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that for the first time in my life, I'm going to get to watch the scale go over the 200 lb mark with just me on it. That really freaks me out. I know I have a good reason, but when I think about how I just kinda let myself go over the last few years, it's not really. Everyone keeps telling me it will come off after the baby gets here, but if that were true, then why are there so many women struggling to get to their pre-baby weights?
