cravings

i ate everything
didn't deny myself a thing
i tipped the scale at 200 on my 8th month
triumphantly gaining over 60 pounds during my pregnancy
i am now happily a size 8 again
only thing left to show for it
are some silky silvery tiger stripes up and down my little belly
and my beautiful angelic baby
the pride of my life

here are some ugly truths
your butt is going to get huge
your hips are going to get wide
your belly is going to get big
and depending on your mom
you may or may not get stretch marks
you will gain lots of weight
your nose is going to get wide (if it's a boy)
and your feet are going to swell
your boobs will become someone else's
literally
and will never be the same again

but don't sweat it
enjoy it
eat everything you want
but just keep in mind
don't eat as if you're eating for two
because unless you really need it
and one hamburger isn't enough
and the only thing that will satisfy you
is a 24 oz steak with potatoes
for the most part
one serving is good enough

anyway
after the baby comes into the world
you have plenty of time to get back to where you were before
and you can look just as hot and sexy then
as you look now
so don't worry about it

and i know you
you won't have a problem putting in all the yummy nutritious things you need
drink lots of milk
baby will take away as much calcium from you as he/she can
eat fruit every day
even if it's only an apple
and stay away from whatever makes you nauseous

speaking of nauseous
i didn't have any symptoms
except when i took my prenatals first thing in the morning
i think it's the iron in it???
i don't know
something made me nauseous about it
so i switched
i started taking them at night
just before bed
and everything was just fine

do you think it could be something like that for you???
