Good afternoon girls!
We have snow.
It's melting quickly, but still.
So we took Simon to a toddler pool this morning, ran a few errands then came home for a quick lunch.
Right after lunch, my husband and I both looked at each other and agreed that we were having a terrible dessert craving. Mine was very specific. For absolutely no rational reason on earth, I absolutely had to have a pineapple upside-down cake. I think I have had maybe one slice of this kind of cake in my entire life, so I have no idea why it must be this cake right now, but it's in the oven and it had better taste as good as it smells.
Oh the nutty nuttiness of pregnancy. It's kind of fun!
Beautiful bump pics posted this weekend! And yeah - crazy to think that we're barely halfway, eh? I have a few pictures from me at 39 weeks (I went to 41 and 3), and I cannot believe the size of that belly. I didn't get stretchmarks until the last month, and then it was just like the skin tissue ripped across. They were really itchy and miserable those last few weeks. Sort of stinging. They fade pretty quickly, though. I'm not too fussed by them. I am more concerned about the pouch of fat that seems to have accumulated when the skin stretched out.
That's the part I will valiantly try to exercise away after this baby.
I'm leading a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands next April (baby will be six months and will stay home with Daddy), so I am trying to use that as swimsuit-body incentive. I was horrible about eating properly and regular exercise after Simon was born, so the flab layer is nobody's fault but mine. At least you know you can do something about it, if that's the case!
