Looking Pregnant
Filed under Parenting & kids
I am officially 19 weeks going on 20 weeks and having reached the mid-point of this pregnancy, I must admit this: I haven't really had the guts to see myself in photographs yet.
In my past life I loved taking photos of myself, because records of what I looked like was motivating, and even in shots where I don't look so cantik, it was motivating enough to keep me wanting to dress better, stand better, look better. I'm a woman after all, and being vain is part and parcel of being who I am.
Alas, the pregnancy gift sort of toppled my world over, and I am GAINING WEIGHT everywhere! Urgh! Buying clothes has become a challenge, although I have been extremely fortunate to have received really pretty hand-me-downs from my previously pregnant mommy-mates. The truth is, when you get pregnant, you very quickly get initiated into a very exclusive club of 'mommies', and it's the most awesome girls-only-membership ever ever ever, simply because WE KNOW THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT.
Because someone asked me to post photos of me now, here goes.
I still look like me, right?

A radiant and cherubic maxishorts.
Me like.
Take care now. Thought of a name yet? Baby shy but can prepare for both eventualities.

Weight gain okay. But why your new hairdo so funny one?

hi Claire,
I’ve been following your blog for quite a while. Love it. I’m 18 weeks into my pregnancy and yes, I can hardly fit into my current clothes. My friends do realise that I’m much bigger than before *sigh* and of course, looking for nice looking maternity wear is another headache. I guess u can try out 9 months since they’re having a pretty decent sale or there’s this online store which my friend recommended since she got most of her stuff from there. The url is http://www.BabyBumpMaternity.com.my . Do continue to post your pregnancy journey.
cheerio,
kate

Doctors can explain options but shouldn’t provide opinions unless medically necessary!
