Quick pregnancy update- Pic included

[Tiffykins 673]

For those following the pregnancy, super quick update. Tatum is perfect, I've gained a solid 18-20lbs, and the ob told me today that I needed to hide the scale, focus on getting my Protein only because I told him I was having mad cravings for red velvet cake, and then told me to indulge in as much red velvet cake as I could get my hands on.

I still struggle with the physical changes, and to some degree weight gain, but it's getting better every month.

I also get a lot of questions about my skin after losing 140-145lbs so I decided to be brave today, and share some fully sleeveless pics. Personally, it doesn't bother me. I have an aversion to armpits so I don't wear sleeveless shirts. I think armpits are repulsive, and I have zero desire to show mine off. Plus, I suffer from Brandilynn's razor line of random underarm hair that I miss occasionally.

My home glucose monitoring was perfect, textbook numbers, zero chance of gestational diabetes WOOT WOOT ! ! ! I go back in 3 weeks, a growth scan will be done, and we'll get new pics of Tater Tot then, she's stubborn, and is not cooperating at this point for pictures.

As you can see, I have flabby arms, but considering the amount of weight I lost, they could have been worse. Also, remember I've gained back over 10% of my weight lost, and some of that has gone back to my arms, my arms are normally thinner at the top. If you notice, my ass is still flat, my hips have widened, but I'm still wearing a size small maternity pants, or a size 4/6 in maternity pants. I have one pair of 8's that are "skinny" maternity crop pants, but I'm having trouble finding a good fit in maternity pants since I'm carrying so much of the weight in my stomach, but I'm still narrow in the butt and thighs.

Cheers everyone. . . 3 more months, 3 more months, 3 more months ! ! !

you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your pics.....and BTW your arms look fine! I am 7 days post op and am so afraid of batwing arms, but I will be just fine with it in the end because it will mean I will have lost the weight I need to! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, you look great!

Tiffy - you are beautiful! Enjoy your preganancy - you can get back to your pre-pregnancy size after Tatum is here. Once she goes through the roll,crawl and toddle stages, she will move straight into running - and you will have a new type of exercise program to get/keep the weight off. I am so happy your pregnancy is going well.
