34 Weeks: Overcoming Body Shame

Today, I am going to write real quick about feeling fat and pregnancy. I was really upset about this. I think what really happens is that I do pretty well until I see an unflattering picture of myself. And we just moved into a house that has a lot of mirrors, so I see myself sitting slouched over very often, and that triggered this whole new bout of body shame. Then I got used to it. I also started wearing different clothes according to how I looked in the mirror. So basically, I rarely wear anything loose or baggy. I wear bump contouring dresses and leggings. And that makes me feel sexy. And I'm thinking, "Why do I need to care so much about what I look like anyway?" That is all for today.

Things I need to do before baby gets here

 I'm going to brain dump what I can think of: Get a play yard set up for him Get a bed for Clark set up in our room Get a place for mom to sit while nursing where Clark can sit too, next to books. Buy newborn sized Dypers Get a car seat adapter for the jogging stroller Get a rain cover for the jogging stroller Get rain boots for myself Get a rain jacket for myself Get no pop tires for the jogging stroller Get diaper changing table on top of the counter somehow. Or in other bathroom. Or on floor but switch door to open into hallway.
