Belly Laughs

OK, all of my mommy friends...are you supposed to feel like a bloated balloon at 18 1/2 weeks? For the last 2 days I have felt like I'm a walking blob...my belly has to be stretching or something because there are times that I don't think I can hardly walk around without waddling. Maybe it's just me, but I feel huge. PLUS...I feel like I can eat anything. I can hardly keep any food in my house because I seem to eat everything. I was really good in the beginning about eating healthy foods and having control over how much I ate. Now, it's a whole new story, I think I could eat anything without a second thought. I sure hope this urge goes away, because I don't need a lot of weight gain to carry around...there's already enough there!

I'm sure everyone is laughing at me, saying that they know where I've been, but I just need the reassurance that I'm not the only crazy pregnant woman out there!

Ashley - I couldn't eat the first 16 weeks of pregnancy because of severe m/s. Once the appetite came back, I was eating all the time, both with Mason and this time with Reagan. It is totally normal! You take care of yourself and Baby Wassmann!

Melissa, Kevin, Mason and Reagan.

Totally normal!! I remember being preggo with TJ and buying cheeto's and having to "hide" and eat them so Andi and Trista wouldnt see me and want some...I didnt want to share any of my non-healthy but oh-so-good snacks!!

It's totally normal and a phase...things will get a little more back to normal (if there is a normal during pregnancy!)

thanks for sharing and being extra caring and thoughtful to those other preggo's around!!

Oh Ashley....do I ever know what you mean about eating everything! It's so funny when Nick opens a bag of chips one day and they are most of the way gone the next....he just looks at me with big eyes like...yikes lady! I have to explain how the baby needs things like chips sometimes. My belly is also starting to "pop."
