The weather has been really nice here lately, and I've been wanting to go for a swim the past few days to get a little exercise besides just walking... So today DH said he would go out there with me... I put on a bathing suit, and looked awful! So I decided I'd throw a pair of my board shorts over it, and a tank top since I'm still not comfortable showing off my nude bump... Yea.. the board shorts used to hang on me. I haven't put them on since I've been pregnant tho. First of all, they wouldnt even button, I had to wear them completely under my bump... But they were also much tighter on my butt!! I was about in tears! I still wore them, but took them off before getting in the pool.

It was just embarrassing to myself I guess, cause I've been telling myself that I haven't gained anywhere but my bump and boobs.

I tried on a pair of jeans I always paint in the other day to paint the baby's room. Well they used to be baggy. NO LONGER, they were tight in the butt and the thighs!

Thats exactly how I felt
Kept telling myself I handt put weight on...but im like going to be huge after this i can just tell
I go swimming every 3 days though...because ive always loved swimming nd im properr good and i really dont want to lose my ability to swim haha
even if i will lose my ability to wear skinny jeans (which I have tried to wear in the past week under my bump....and failed obviously)

Thanks girls! It's really getting difficult tho, since the weather has been so nice here, I've wanted to wear all my clothes from last summer, since most of my maternity ones are winter clothes. Today I tried on a really cute Roxy sundress I bought for our cruise last August... Its pretty fitted, but was comfy on my when I bought it, so I tried this morning. It went on, but ended up being much shorter since it had to go all the way over my bump... And I also looked huge in the pattern!! Dh was so sweet trying to tell me it looked nice, I was like PLEASE, I look like a purple flowery whale!

He sat me down tho, and made me realize not to worry too much about it... The baby is growing and that is what is really important. He said, "You would much rather not be able to fit into your non-maternity clothes, and have the baby growing in your tummy, than wearing those clothes to the hospital to watch our baby fight in an incubator". And I know I've obviously felt that way all along, but just hearing it from him was reassuring. And we dont have long to go now, so I'll be able to hit the gym (more than just walking on the treadmill!!) once she is here.

Awww don't worry. With bump at 33 weeks the ligaments in your pelvis are loose so your butt may seem "wider", lol .. but it will shrink back after you give birth I'm sure you look great.

Burton, doesn't your husband realize that being rational and being pregnant, don't always go together. When I tell my lovely DH that my behavior is just crazy pregnancy hormones, he just says, 'well you were a bit nuts to begin with' Silly man!!

I had a pair of jeans that I could never wear without a belt before, and I tried them on yesterday and couldn't get them past my thighs. I was so upset, I actually had a few tears as I hadn't realised how much weight Ive put on.

Im sure you look great hun! Dont stress (even though its hard!!!)
