Balloon

I seriously look 3 month pregnant, at least. I am so bloated I  feel like there is a balloon under my shirt, or triplets. The "baby" is about the size of a grain of rice so why on earth do I look like I swallowed a ball?? My husband gets a good chuckle out of this as do my co-workers whom I've told. Everyone else is probably talking behind my back and saying I need to lay off the cupcakes!

The same thing happened when I was pregnant with Noah, except that time I started out 10 pounds thinner wearing a size 4. I know the weight thing is moot at this point and if I eat healthy and don't overindulge I won't turn into a whale by christmas but it is a little disheartening to need a bella band at 6.5 weeks pregnant! 

If this baby is a girl this is definitely my last pregnancy so I am really trying to enjoy it, bloat, hormones and all. It still doesn't seem real yet but I am sure that will change real soon....

Noah is still blissfully aware that he is going to be the BIG brother. He is getting so big, saying new words and learned the sign for more. His eating is still a major issue which worries me to no end but I am trying despite raging hormones to take it one day at a time!
