Not Fair!

I think I have lost even more weight due to the nasty Annual January Stomach Bug, as it is so lovingly referred to in our house. It never fails, but we ALWAYS get that mess in January! Luckily Mark didn't get it......I don't think I could have handled him had he gotten it anyway! But that is besides the point! So pretty much I couldn't keep anything down for the normal 24 hours which hit me like a ton a bricks. I had been up most of Friday night assisting Taryn through it all, so I don't think I really ate anything for 2 days. Not healthy, I know, but being there are some out there that deal with "morning" sickness for months, I figured two days was not going to kill me! So in all actuality I don't think there has been a total change in my weight since my last appointment.....which brings me to why it's "not fair".....

So I know they all say that you tend to show earlier with the second baby....... I have officially donned my "fat" pants today. :-( They are the several pairs of pants a couple sizes larger that either I bought in the transition stage before Taryn was born or the ones that I received as Christmas presents just 2 months after. They are the pants that are necessary when you have to start unbuttoning your regular pants because you can feel no longer feel your feet, or when you have resorted to the elastic hair bands through the button-loop holding them up only to notice that your shirt may not hide the fact that your zipper is down! Looks like I will be going through the closet this weekend! Luckily I just got all my "fat" stuff back from my girlfriend and as I was going through the bag on the floor of my closet this morning realized I have a little treasure trove of great things! The days of bending over and my rear hanging out are back! (Sorry!)

I guess we will see the damage that the virus caused at my next appointment on Wednesday, although I did try to make up for lost time/calories with an Oh-so-yummy trip to McDonald's on Monday!
