20 lbs never felt so good.

i was told to lay off the carbs at my last midwife visit and i am not going to do that. thanks for the medical advice, but no i will not stop eating cake, cookies, bread, croissants, pasta, etc. I thought about it....i spent a long time looking in the mirror....i almost made a low carb meal......but, no. no no no. i just can't do it. so i will be a big round pregnant chick. i will not be one of those cute pregnant girls with the lil perfect round belly and tiny everything else. i will complain and some days mope around and cry and say things to my husband like "i am so fat and disgusting, it is uncomfortable to just sit here. will you still love me when you have to call a crane to get me out of the house and they have to weigh me on a cattle scale? will you still love me when you have sponge bath under my fat rolls?"

and he always says "no"....but i think he is kidding. i think.




so i am ok with it. and i would rather be a fat pregnant chick for a few months than be on a diet. i love NOT dieting. LOVE IT. i love food so much. i love butter. oh god i love butter.

and yes i will still be in a bikini 2 days from now. i don't care. i may even be brave enough to take pics of this and post them on the internets for all to see.
