Rubber Band...out the window at week 14

Instantly the day I found out I was pregnant, I automatically just felt HUGE! Like none of my clothes fit, or everybody knew I looked different. All of my clothes still fit of course, I was like a "second" pregnant, but still somehow already started feeling "fat and ugly". I spent hours sitting in my closet, pulling out and trying on just about everything I owned. After 2 hours of Anthony waiting on me, he would finally come in and sit in closet with me. Suggesting different things, I would come up with a million excuses of why I couldn't wear it. It would eventually end in tears and me only wanting to go places I wouldn't look out of place in my pajamas (my parents house most times).

I was still working out in the gym 5 days a week, that was until my my horrible morning sickness kicked in at 7 weeks. I would wake up at 4:30 to get to the gym by 5am, get sick in the parking lot, and come back home crying. Not to mention the fact that I have absolutely no energy, so those days I did make it inside I walked around in a daze! We decided it was best for me to get some rest for the next few weeks, and stop spending so much time at work.

Still with my clothes getting tighter and even more uncomfortable, it takes me about 3 hours to get ready for my day. I have to spend time recovering from the hot shower, that would make me sick. Time sitting in the closet crying, and then once I finally found something to wear I would have to take breaks every 5 minutes in between the entire process.

Anthony kept suggesting buying some new clothes and I kept telling him I didn't need any. My jeans still fit, but I felt so uncomfortable not knowing if I was squishing the little baby. So I added the rubber band to give me a little extra room. I always buy all my clothes to fit me perfectly which helps me to stay in shape, but at 13 weeks I knew it just wasn't going to work anymore. My belly isn't big, but my clothes are not made for a pop belly! So I finally went this weekend and tried on maternity clothes, I hated all the jeans and most of the pants were to big for me, I got a lot of them anyway because it's better than what I have now.

I feel so much better, with plenty of room for Nuter to grow! With my energy slowly picking up, nausea slowing down, I'm really looking forward to getting back in the gym so I can continue to have a healthy pregnancy!
