Every woman should read this article as she is trying to get pregnant. Just so it's not a complete shock when she looks in the mirror and sees a pimply, hairy, blotchy version of her old self. Sure, I've lost five pounds (because I eat five licks of Mc Donalds ice cream for breakfast) and my chest has never looked better (even though I can barely stand to have anything touch it) but let me tell you, so far I'm missing the famous "glow" I've heard about for years. But you know what? I don't really care. I think I have a pretty good excuse... "Oh, I have a hair growing out of my chin? I'M GROWING A HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF MY BODY." I think it's a pretty healthy view to take.
So I'm sick, hairy and zitty. But I'm pregnant and very happy about it. We have an ultrasound on Friday to determine just how pregnant I am. I'm thinking somewhere between 7 and 8 weeks and hoping for anything that gets me closer 13, the start of the blessed second trimester!
oh pretty mama. you are a SHe-ra of perseverance. i was hoping for a photo op including the new mommy shorts. it's a shame i can't be there to "help" you through the pimply trimester. i'm good help with those matters.
