An Emotional Wreck

So I am 25 weeks along and have become an emotional time bomb. I found out that my dad's cancer is back. Not just in his bones but a tumor in his brain. I get very annoyed with people and have yet to find an emotional outlet.

I just went to California to visit my only brother and all he wants to talk about is my dads funeral and who is going to take care of mom.

How am I supposed to keep it together?

Feeling a little fat today!

Today marks my 21st week of being pregnant. I feel great - my ankles are swelling but I am still able to fit into my regular jeans (with them unbuttoned of course) ! But......... I feel fatter than ever! Do I look it? Well if you answered "no" I wonder if you are looking at the same picture I just took!

I realized how big my belly is getting today, as I was getting my 7 year old clothing from his bottom drawer of his dresser. As I was bending over, all I felt was the weight of a 5 pound bowling ball. As it turns out, it was my belly weighing me down. At that moment I realized just how big I am.

I of course freak out - as most women do in this position. I ran to my PC and started to google pictures of pregnant woman that are 21 weeks along. I found a few pictures of women that were smaller than me but the majority of the pictures I found of women 21 weeks along were about the same size or a little bigger than I am now. WOOHOO! I definitely felt a little better because I am not the only one that is this big at 21 weeks. I am grateful for all you out there that are proud of your pregnant bellies and are not afraid to show them.
