My humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps

If I recall correctly, this time last year I was in the middle of my battle to get rid of the 20 pounds that had not so nicely crept up on me after a summer of eating and drinking on Whyte ave and a fall of appreciating wine and take out.

One year later and the pounds have once again began to pack on and I couldn't be happier. At my midwife appointment yesterday I was told that since my last appointment (five weeks ago), I had gained seven pounds (and my midwife wasn't even going to weigh me lol)... She started by telling me that seven pounds was completely normal and I think I saw a little bit of shock on her face as I began to smile and giggle... Really though, how often does a woman get to gain seven pounds after eating cupcakes and cookies and still blame it on someone else? This is a rare opportunity and I think I will take full advantage and bask in my new plumpness :)

However, these seven pounds do come with a few disadvantages. For example, I got fitted with maternity bra's the other day and I can confidently say that these are probably the most unattractive bras that I have worn since being in a training bra... The sales lady was really helpful though. She told Greg to tell me that they were sexy hehehe.... The bra shopping also came with an added bonus, because who knew that there were strap on bellies in the fitting rooms (no one ever told me how fun this would be!)... So of course I strapped one on and came out to show the hubby, who was a little shocked that he had only left the store for a mere 10 minutes to return and POOF I was really pregnant :)


Shopping has also become wayyy more fun now. Since I can no longer buy cute outfits to myself, because I am not fully out of the muffin top stage, I can offically buy little girl clothes and eeeek aren't they cute! Little Ella shall be a diva :) A diva indeed :)
