Feeling a little fat today!

Today marks my 21st week of being pregnant. I feel great - my ankles are swelling but I am still able to fit into my regular jeans (with them unbuttoned of course) ! But......... I feel fatter than ever! Do I look it? Well if you answered "no" I wonder if you are looking at the same picture I just took!

I realized how big my belly is getting today, as I was getting my 7 year old clothing from his bottom drawer of his dresser. As I was bending over, all I felt was the weight of a 5 pound bowling ball. As it turns out, it was my belly weighing me down. At that moment I realized just how big I am.

I of course freak out - as most women do in this position. I ran to my PC and started to google pictures of pregnant woman that are 21 weeks along. I found a few pictures of women that were smaller than me but the majority of the pictures I found of women 21 weeks along were about the same size or a little bigger than I am now. WOOHOO! I definitely felt a little better because I am not the only one that is this big at 21 weeks. I am grateful for all you out there that are proud of your pregnant bellies and are not afraid to show them.
