My Face Is Puffy - AND THAT'S OKAY!!

I was glancing through our PhotoShop pics and saw the one on top. Yes, I was making a silly fish face, which of course made my face look thinner, but the important thing was that I had the same shirt on. The top picture was about 2 months ago.

I really don't mind that my face is puffy or that I can't see my feet. Today.

Some moments, especially when I trying to get dressed, I'm overwhelmed with amazement that I can't fit into ANYTHING... and then my grunts and whimpers turn gradually into full-blown tears. Jim then quickly comes and loves the tears away.

Just another wonderful part of growin' a baby!

(*** P.S. I didn't write this to fish for compliments ... just an observation of my crazy pregnant-ness.  I don't think it matters how big or small a mother is before she's pregnant - it's always strange watching your body change)

I totally relate. And the funny thing is, your regular clothes will never fit the same again, even after baby. For some reason all my shirts were too short and just plain fit weird. Now, 3 babies in, my maternity clothes even fit differently. I am just now fitting into my maternity clothes as of this weeks (almost 27 weeks) and I was in them 3 months in with my first. Crazy!

I do have a question though, where in the world does the skin for our belly's come from to grow so big and then where in the world does it go after it's all said and done=) I've always wondered that!

It is a very strange thing indeed. And it is amazing how your belly skin will go back almost immediately. Incredibla.
