I feel like this last week all I have done is eat and overeat for that matter. I am truly dreading going to my midwife next week because of my weight gain. Every time I tell a nurse my pre-pregnancy weight, they always like to point out that I am considered overweight and they recommend me only gaining 10-20 pounds. Yes, thank you so much. I realize I am overweight…but man you should have seen me this time last year, ha! I feel like I have to justify myself, and then I’m constantly worried about my weight. Yeah, nothing like messing with a hormonal pregnant woman! But clearly I’m not too worried about my weight because I stress eat then regret it later, ha! I’ll walk into my midwife’s office like a student on test day hoping for an “A” when they didn’t study.
As my belly gets bigger and more noticeable, I get more comments of “You’ve got your hands full.” or “Wow, I couldn’t do it.”. Little do they know, I CAN’T do it either! I’m a firm believer in the saying “fake it, ’til you make it.” and of course nothing is done without the Lord’s help. Whew, I really needed His strength this week while Sam’s gone!
With Sam still out of the country I’ve had to use my little photographer again. Today he wasn’t even looking at me while taking the pictures. Talent, sheer talent.
Also, I’ve found a few diaper bags that I like, but I wondered what is YOUR favorite diaper bag? And why??
Ok question time — and i really mean that i do have a big question. I actually screamed at my child the other day (not mentioning which one ::cough terror cough::…) sigh…it made me feel like such a bad mom. You have your hands more full than me…do you ever actually raise your voice to the point you feel awful about yourself? feel free to email me or tweet me the answer so i don’t miss it 🙁
ANNNNND man you have a talented photographer. I ask my son to take a picture of me and i get an over exposed picture of my carpet!
Juli, I SO have done that more times than I’d like to admit. We aren’t perfect, so of course things like this happen. Though when I do fly off the handle I make a point to apologize to my kids when I’ve calmed down. This shows them one; that I regret what happened, only God is perfect and I can direct them to Him, and now they know what to do when they act inappropriate. So don’t feel so bad…we’ve all been there!
We have skip hop bag, but I tend to use an oversized handbag on weekends when I’m with baby all day so that it’s easier and everything is in there. All those compartments sometimes get annoying to me.
