sunshyneshay I am so sorry you are feeling that way. You are gorgeous! I completely understand though. This morning I had to get it together before a mini meltdown occurred. My wedding ring wouldn't go on which seemed like the end of the world, nothing looked cute, and my bras officially don't fit. FTM here too so I am trying hard to be patient with all of these body changes but like you said it is hard.
I totally had this meltdown two nights ago, I was crying and I think DH didn't know what to do! I'm glad i'm not the only one feeling this way cause I feel so guilty about it that i don't love being pregnant.

I don't post a lot of pregnancy related things on FB but the other night I was the crankiest pregnant lady in the history of time and just wrote a quick status about how I am trying not to want to rush through this but I am ready for little man to be here. Girl, the amount of women that commented on how much they hated pregnancy and how it's was nothing to be ashamed of made me feel like a new person. Any guilt I had about not understanding why anyone would LOVE this shit completely vanished. We aren't alone.

It's not an easy feeling. With my first my belly got a TON of stretch marks. Looks like a road map. I will say that they have faded to an light color.. and are really become a part of you. And it does suck that I'll never be that mom in a bikini again, but oh well... I'll be the mom that loves the shit out of her two boys and everything else that life has brought me. Keep your chin up!

Happy HDBD snatches! Everyone looks gorgeous as always. Today's HDBD photo includes a photo bomb from Gracie, as well as the hideous turquoise walls in the bedroom of our new house (which look way more subdued in this pic than in real life. They are blinding. )
FTM, there's a squirmy little lady in there, will be 27 weeks tomorrow, and I'm 5'3"
sunshyneshay Girl are you kidding me, your short ass is growing your son firstly, and secondly you're so pretty. You look beautiful. I think we all have days like that, but trust me, you look great.
sunshyneshay I'm sorry that you're feeling that way. I can completely relate - I don't even want to look in the mirror when I get out of the shower, it's like the hot water turns my stretch marks bright red. You're beautiful, and it's normal and okay to not be crazy about what's happening to your body.
Everyone looks great! I'm actually joining in this morning from work (shhh). This is from a couple days ago, I'm currently 24w4d, 5'7", FTM with a boy.

sunshyneshay - Just wait until the 2nd time around when you simultaneously want to be pregnant and loathe the upcoming body changes that you now know to expect. Bleh! I don't love the physical change stuff that comes with pregnancy either but it'll come to a end soon enough and you may find yourself wanting to do this whole baby thing again before too long....promise. Hugs!

pinkbarebear you look so cute!! And your doggie is just admiring you
sunshyneshay I don't have the stretch mark thing going on, but I do have similar emotions to yours! It is very hard for me to be okay with the baby bump at times. I was the size i wanted to be and knowing i will get bigger than this sucks. My face will Probably be chunky... You get the drift.
I hate shopping and am dreading finding a dress for my baby shower. Every time I try to shop I cry afterwards or am just depressed and just end up shopping for baby. It's a hard thing to deal with, especially the first time around! You are very pretty. Just know you have several of us in the same corner as you. this will be worth it!!!! (I don't believe it yet.. I know it will be, but SHIT)
sunshyneshay, it's hard not to feel guilty, but not loving pregnancy doesn't make you a bad mom. At least I hope not, because I suck at being pregnant, and I haye it too. You look great and are doing great! I hope things get easier for you!
CaptainLeela I love your top! And your kitty! And your bangs! And your tv! and your window! Lol. Kidding about the tv and window, but cute!
Haha thanks! I love this top - it's actually a nursing top so I can wear it after the babe arrives too. I got it on Amazon, of all places. That ginormous TV drives me bonkers, but DH *needed* a new TV in the living room, so the old TV got bumped to the bedroom. And the cat barfed on my pregnancy pillow last night, so she's on my shit list.
All the HDBD ladies are looking lovely today! I hope to post a picture later today.
sunshyneshay ...Sorry you are feeling down about your image right now...but you look gorgeous to me and are rockin' your baby bump!
@texasmama15 ...absolutely LOVE your style! You are always adorable!
veganontuesdays ...with DD, I had to stop wearing my wedding ring around the 8th month due to swelling. It really felt weird, but it is much better than them having to cut it off if I had an issue. It went back on after DD was born. I am just waiting for the day I must remove my ring this time too...it is only a matter of time!
@gfj48 ...sorry about your pants, but that did make me laugh! I had the same thing happen to me too.
