Pregnancy weight

I am one of these lucky women who has magically gained almost no weight by being pregnant. It's not something I was avoiding or scared about- but for some reason this baby was happy to get some nutrients from my fat stores. So whoohooo. I'm 40 weeks pregnant and as of right now I am only 5 pounds heavier than when I started.

(don't get all concerned on me- weight loss standards for overweight women are pretty arbitrary and confusing. Doctors and other health care providers aren't sure what they should be. Healthy babies is the key!)

I am not writing this to gloat or anything, I think there is a funny story in this too. So when you buy maternity clothes you buy them according to the size that you are pre-maternity. So if I was a 2x before that's the size jeans and stuff that I bought. Well in the time that my belly got bigger my booty, hips, and even boobs got a little bit smaller. So strangely enough, my maternity clothes are all falling off of me. Or just barely hanging on to my belly. I am constantly having to pull them up.

Additionally, I feel like I have no idea what my body will look like underneath this baby. We'll see.

It's absurd. It really is.
