When I was about 20 weeks pregnant with Eddie, we started taking monthly belly shots.
See?
I remember thinking I looked huge. HA! Little did I know!
So this week, during my 20th week baking Charlie in the oven, we thought we should probably get going with the belly shots.
Sigh…
I am trying REALLY hard not to see all the “before pregnancy” weight that was put on this time.
I am trying to ignore how everything “filled out” faster this time.
I know part of it is that this is after a 10 hour work day.
And I am slouching.
And my shirt is pulling funny.
And…well…I am overly critical of myself.
The truth is this: I am growing a new member of our family.
And that is both beautiful and miraculous.
I need to be easier on myself.
I can worry about the weight in six months.
For now?
Grow, Charlie, grow.
