For example, my face is round again. I feel like I am a freshman in college all over again. I gained the freshman fifteen in my face, and that face is back. I also got the crazy thought in my head that if I trimmed my hair to my shoulders it would make my life easier....WRONG! I now have a football helmut for hair. My hair is neither straight nor wavy-I have a lions mane. Roar!
My butt has grown to an astronomical size (no pun intended). It is shocking to me where my body has put on cellulite. I have not just put on girth, but actually put on cellulite in places I have never seen before. I work in OR's all day long, and I have seen a lot of naked people-but I have never seen fat on people where I now have fat! What is the deal?
Kankles, oh to see my ankles again. My poor toes have turned into sausages, and my wedding rings no longer fit! Boo-hoo! Poor me!
I keep telling my husband that this baby better be a good one or I am going to be pissed. I think that the first thing that I will think when the baby is born is how fantastic our baby is and how much in love I am with him/her. Then I will be so very thankful that I am no longer pregnant! Now that is a thought that makes me happy.

Sweetie, you are glowing, even if you don't feel likei it - I can see it in you!
Being pregant is hard. No lies.
The best thing about after the delivery is loosing like 20 pounds in 2 days - fabulous!
You'll make it...promise, we all do!! Keep on lathering the lotion and drink lots of water, at this point it's all about the elasticity in your skin!!
Finally! Some precious journey footage! Way to go Allison! Sorry but I am going to have to agree with Andrea...you are glowing! You look beautiful!
Pregnancy is rough! I never knew my bootie could reach such a size and my face seemed to plump almost imediately! It does seem to go away just after giving birth. Hang in there!
BTW sorry you had an unwanted visitor on your blog! Glad you said heck with them and came back! :)
OOOOooo and one more thing! I have a tip! When my wedding rings got too big I covertly suggested a "pregnancy ring" should be purchased and Doug agreed! Now when that ring didn't fit anymore I was out of luck :)
I hear ya! Pregnancy is definitely not for all women and I was no exception either. And then compound that with the guilt you might feel for not just loving pregnancy, and it's just plain rough! You do look great though! We see ourselves differently though than what others see. It truly is all a labor of love. It WILL be worth it all, I promise.
The weight thing can be challenging and your body will just do what it needs to do. My body needed to gain over 60 pounds and then it needed to just take its time losing weight post-baby but I think the magic number seems to be a year where you feel almost back to normal. I know that seems like forever but it's a good thing you'll be so busy! And there's always the chance that you might just be one of those women that bounces back quickly! I'll pray that you are! :)
Hang in there...you're almost done!
You are almost done Al!
Yes, holding your baby and meeting him/her for the first time is the best thing ever, but a close second (okay, maybe there are closer seconds) is NOT BEING PREGNANT ANYMORE!
I think that we all agree that you are glowing and you are beautiful!
I totally laughed about your lions mane :)
Thanks guys! I think that once I am holding our baby, I will fully understand what this is all about. Until then...I will just have to accept my booty getting bigger and bigger!
