I am not in love with the Lilypie ticker like I am in love with Girl Scout Samoa cookies. So if you've seen a cooler one, please don't hesitate to share.
How can it be that Girl Scout cookie season is upon us just as I start reaching the Terrified of Being a Fatso stage? You see, I've always been a small person, but over the last several weeks I have transformed into quite the heifer. I look similar to what one would look like if they swallowed a hippopotamus. I can't sugar coat the truth peeps, I just can't.
It is this self image that makes me feel like I will go Son of Sam on the next person that says any of the below statements to me.
-"It's okay, you're eating for 2 now!!!" nice way of saying you look like a cow in a tutu.
-"Don't worry, you won't get fat, you'll just look like you swallowed a beach ball." Pressure, anyone?
And... my personal favorite:
-"Oh wow, look at your bump!! I didn't start showing with my first baby until I was 5 months!" The people that say this to me are immediately stabbed in the cornea with a stilleto heel. thankyouverymuch, please come again.
The next person that makes one of these comments to me will find an ice pick lodged in their ear drum. I suffer from progesterone poisening and I will not hesitate to serve up a knuckle sandwich to the mouthy and ill restrained. After all, I'm unconvictable. No jury is going to convict a pregnant woman that is foaming at the mouth, mostly out of pity.
Babycenter.com says I should gain between 25 - 35lbs. If I end up putting on 35lbs, I may throw myself out a window. But according to the babies at The Babycenter.com I am already 1 pound over where I should be at this time to be on track for gaining 35lbs. I feel an anorexia flare up coming on.* Why? Why do they insist on setting me up for failure?
I may post a belly pic soon. Depending on if I can find a foxy cute preggo and leave a trail of Girl Scout cookies to my belly pic lair.
I leave you with a pic of the bug from 12 weeks
*I do not, nor have I ever had anorexia, although I've tried many times to pick it up.

Wow, that ticker looks cute. If it was me trying to do the same thing, it would take double that time. I am so techno-impaired. I agree, you are unconvictable! Plead progesterone frenzy!! Those comments are awful. I got something even better when carrying DD. Cos I had gestational diabetes I actually had to stick to a diet, which rocked, not! So people were *disappointed*. They'd take a look at me, then look again and go "oh, you haven't gotten that big yet." Like, please get fatter so we can roll out the insult vocab please! I would have given anything not to be on that diet & excercise regime.
Onto the belly pic-if you don't post one in here, will you email me one!! PUH-lease!
Lastly, the bug. OMG, how cute is s/he!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog.
Love,
xxxooo
