I Only Have Thighs for You

Where exactly is this fetus growing? Just when I got used to my belly growing I looked down and around my belly to my thighs and OMG they've doubled in size!

"You need the extra weight in your legs to support the belly." Hubby rationally said.
"Um, I wasn't toppling over with the legs I had before! AND my butt! It's a big bubble" I snapped.

AND this week, I noticed my feet are getting wider. Is it swelling? Why do I have love handles on my toes? How do I stop this so I don't look like the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man.

During an average pregnancy a woman should gain between 25-35 pounds. So far I've gained.....
30 POUNDS!!!
And I still have 2-1/2 months to go.

Sure, I've been eating. I'm not eating for two, but for an army. Most of the time I try to eat healthy but I can't help wanting ice cream and more ice cream and more ice cream.
What kid doesn't like ice cream and well, I've got a kid inside.

This morning at the Doctor's office, I saw another pregnant woman. She had the belly on AND she thin legs :-(
I felt like Fudgey the Whale next to her. Speaking of; when is the ice cream break.

  1. You must have been really skinny before you got pregnant because you look like an average pregnant woman. Not too big.

  3. Baskin Robbins allegedly has 31 flavors. Cold Stone (Stone Cold?) Creamery will mix and match 20 flavors and 90 toppings. And don't forget Cookie Puss from Carvel. Face it dear, you will be eating ice cream for a long long while. At least it's not your tonsils coming out.

    BTW you do look great!

  4. None of the Baskin Robbins I go to ever have 31 flavors!!
    We went to Baskin Robbins last night and walked away empty handed, disappointed with the selection.
    Breyers for the supermarket, satisfied the craving.
