need cheering up

i opened my closet to see what i have that i can squeeze into and what i'll need since i'm trying to motivate myself to go shopping (ha) and came across all the cute summer stuff including some new sexy little dresses i bought for our honeymoon which was less than 6 months ago!! I feel fat, unattractive and not sexy and waaay too emotional lately. and mad at myself for whining/complaining like a wuss - ugh

Re: need cheering up

NOOOOOOOOOOOO- step AWAY from the cute summer clothes of yore. Have DH pack them away for now. There are such cute things for us preggers to wear. Go get shopping for some cute maternity stuff!!!

Revel in your new shape- you are BEAUTIFUL!! Regardless of what doesn't fit anymore, what the scale says, and where your ankles have gone- what you're body is going through is the most amazing transformation!!!!

I swear, sometimes I just stare at myself in the mirror naked because I'm amazed at how things are changing (granted, I use the bathroom without the full-length mirror- I don't need to be mesmerized by my growing thighs and retro bush)......

Re: need cheering up

I know how you feel. I'm starting to grow out of my clothes...I went to the mall a few days ago and bought some cute summer stuff (only bigger!) and hung it in my closet, right in front, so I know those things are waiting for me when I need them. Don't get down on yourself, your growing a miracle in your belly! I got on the scale this morning and was 2lbs up, and it is making me feel fat alll morning. Its just not worth it, I try to look down at this growing belly and just remember what is waiting for me in 6 months is something I've wanted my whole life. The worst is that now DH is saying im hormonal/not being very nice to him so I feel bad for that, and fat! but I know it will all pass...only a few more months!

NOOOOO....

go get yourself some cute babydoll tops or dresses and some capri leggings....perfect for this in between stage!

Re: need cheering up

I can't help but feel that way too but just keep the big picture in mind-you are going to have a baby!!! Go buy yourself some great new early maternity clothes and don't look back!

Re: need cheering up

thanks girls - yep big mistake doing that - i can't stop bawling like a fool its like having a major pms day.

this is what i mean when i say DH is clueless. yesterday a.m. i was getting dressed for work and couldn't button my pants - was so frustrated - i showed DH and told him i felt fat and his response "so what, just go buy some bigger pants or maternity"??? DUH -
