This month everything seems to have hit and become real … my bump is of epic proportions and I am starting to get so very excited about our new arrival.
The nursery is nearly complete, the decorating is done and the furniture is in, although there still needs to be sorting done.
After the first month of pregnancy I stopped climbing on those dreaded scales as I am already a plus size, and there is lots of negativity around us plus size pregnant ladies as it obviously does complicate many health matters and pregnancy is hard on the body at anytime never mind if your BMI is higher than it should be!
With that in my mind when I set off on this pregnancy journey I have been conscious of not putting on the same weights as I had with my 2 other children (5 stone each time) so I had been really aware that making food choices in this pregnancy I was going have to make wise ones as putting on weight above and beyond what was needed was not an option and since its been 5 months since I last weighed in I am so overjoyed to say to this point I have only gained 5 lbs and although my clothes are feeling roomy all over (except the belly area) I did have a feeling that I may have lost some weight.
All in all I am so excited to have reached this stage in my pregnancy and to feel more relaxed in myself and also to be as chilled out as I am … even if barely anything on our list of essentials has been bought … Nothing can phase me now … or at least I hope not, I am rather liking enjoying my pregnancy ….
Even if I can only see my toes while sitting down!
