A pregnant women's view

So I sit here and wonder- being 6 months pregnant myself- why do we always use the excuse that we are eating for two?

In reality, you are supposed to eat only 300 extra calories a day which is an apple with two tablespoons of peanut butter. So why is it that we allow ourselves that little excuse- go ahead and eat that piece of cake, cookie, slice of pizza we are pregnant.

I have done rather well up to this point- seeing as how my Dr. tells me how much weight he wants me to gain. I "workout" at least 3 times a week, yes doing preggers workouts but still allow myself to have candy or chocolate after a meal. YIKES!

I woke up this morning feeling pregnant, I know you know that feeling of just being pregnant- some of my regular jeans are fitting a little more snug (I knew this was going to happen but I don't think I am ready for it).

So tell me, how do you deal with this feeling? What materning jeans do you like the best that are actually reasonably priced?

Until next time...

  1. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A BLOG TOO!!!! Oh my word Amber, if you're 6 months pregnant and JUST NOW getting into maternity clothes, I'm WAY impressed!!!!! I was showing by my third month, and people were asking if I had twins by 6 months...By the way, Gap Maternity has some of the nicest, comfiest, "cheapest" jeans you can find. I LOVED them!!!!
