I know for a lot of women being pregnant it a rough time where you have to watch your whole body get bigger and bigger. I feel like the complete opposite. I have managed to lose a little weight in my butt and legs and gain mostly in my tummy. I am sure that as my tummy expands so will the rest of me. But for right now I feel so pretty. I know it sounds kind of braggish, but I have always had mediocre body image. Being pregnant is the prettiest I have felt in years. I love my belly. I like the weight loss elsewehere. I am enjoying the attention (who the heck wouldn't). It also doesn't hurt that I have a doting husband who reminds me daily how beautiful I look and how much he loves me. I even feel like I am prettier in his eyes right now. He has always thought pregnant woman were lovely (I think it is that leftover evolutionary thing of pregnancy=fertility=passing on your genetics). I just feel lucky that instead of feeling fat and yucky, I feel pregnant and beautiful.
If only I could get rid of the morning sickness, heartburn and headaches... :>).

I agree - I think you look lovely... Your baby bump is so cute! Thanks for sharing the pictures! I can't believe you're 20 weeks already! :-)
Me too. I love my growing belly (and I love the attention too). :-D
You said it!! I'm happy that you guys are enjoying the journey so much (aside from the ms) - you might just find that you feel the same way about your post-preg body! I was thrilled to find that I'm more comfortable in this body than my pre-preg body - that's always a nice surprise :)
You really do look really good, by the way!
