Baby's Got "Back"!

I'm really not the type of person to obsess too much about weight gain during pregnancy. I definitely try to eat healthy, but at times, I do allow myself that extra splurge, after all, it's the only time I will have the excuse to do so, in my opinion. My doctor said I have only gained 7 lbs, but it feels like 14 lbs. Being I am normally petite/little, I think it surprises people to see the sudden changes, but you know, pregnant people have feelings too! The comments about my size and body changes are slowly being said. I know that comments aren't meant in a bad way, but they can still be a blow to one's self-esteem. It's no secret, my pregnancy tends to show up first in the rear-end. The "bottom" line, no pun intended, is that it's essential to gain an appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy. Right now, the twins should be approximately the size of two potatoes. So, as you can imagine, it's only going to get worse from here.

So, why am I writing about this? I had an incident at the gym this morning from a complete stranger. Well, he's a stranger to me, but apparently he thinks he knows me pretty well. It's an 80 year old man that works out at the gym. He came up to me and said, "Are you sure you are going to make it to April?" I said, "Well, that is my due date, why?" He said, "Well I'm just surprised at how quickly you have popped!" I said, "Well, I just started showing, really, and you do know it's twins, right?" He said, "Yeah, do you know what you are having!" I said, "One boy and one girl!" He said, "Well, we've discussed it and we were sure they were both boys!" I said, "Oh I know, when you are pregnant with boys your belly really gets pregnant up in this area" and he replied by saying, "Well, we weren't talking about your stomach!" LOL! The nerve. I assume he meant my buttocks, but maybe he was speaking of my boobs. And who is this "WE". Multiple elderly men in the gym? GROSS!

Anyhow, I always thought pregnant woman were beautiful and sexy in their own way, but it certainly doesn't feel that way now that I'm pregnant with twins. It's a good thing hubby still finds me attractive. :) From the jist of it, the fact that I've got some extra junk in the trunk, it's not bothering Darren ONE bit. Was that TMI? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Overall, I'm really not concerned. I will loose all of the weight and then some after pregnancy. I know myself. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't!
