I'm on cloud nine today and I don't think anything can bring me down!
I had my oldest child in April of 2007. I gained nearly (or maybe more) then 80 pounds that pregnancy. I lost most of i right after birth (so easy when you are so young! - I was 16) but gained it all back thanks to the depo shot! So I have looked pregnant every since. Or I felt I have. Probably just fat but since I was small before my pregnancy- thats what I associate it with.

Anyways! Today, even though clearly I haven't lost those 80 pounds, or anywhere near it! I don't feel like I look pregnant! Well maybe a little! My stomach seems to be the first area that is losing noticable weight though! I feel very "flat" compared to normal! If it wasn't for my lower belly post pregnant pooch/extra skin area that I think most all of us moms got (unless you were incredibly lucky ;-) ) I don't think I'd look pregnant at all! Just over weight!
Even though I doubt anyone else is noticing, I sure do and it feels great!

Today I am not pulling up my MATERNITY jeans(yes...maternity jeans, and my youngest turns 2 on the 22nd of this month!) because my rear end/thighs/hips are so fat they just wont stay up beause in reality they are TOO SMALL Instead I'm pulling them up because they are a little too big!

I'm not down a size or anything, YET, but i'm sure the moms know what I mean. Maternity jeans aren't the best to wear when you don't have a huge tummy to hold them up!

I HAVE A LAP! Or more of a lap I shall say! And my "baby" has been cuddling in it all morning- and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the rambling on, but clearly I'm kinda excited! I can't wait for others to start noticing the difference that I am!

  • And to top it off! My boyfriend of nearly 7years has suddenly become very attracted to me lately (more then normal), apparently! He keeps "attacking" :blushing: :wink: me! I asked what's gotten into him and he says he isn't sure. But whatever it is, I LIKE IT! Between him, and my new "less pregnant" look/feel, I feel so confident lately!!!
  • Well I was excited :tongue:
    ha ha! :smile:
