Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I am so predictable sometimes it is ridiculous. I have noticed with all three of my pregnancies that I do the exact same thing around the end. I ALWAYS start planning how I am going to lose the weight or become attractive again. All three pregnancies I have done this and have no clue why. I guess it is my way of feeling better about my hugely awkward body or something. I always have the best intentions when it comes to working out but usually it never happens because who the heck actually has time for a workout with a 6 year old, a two year old and a new baby and NO help? No one! I’m pretty sure I will lose all the weight pretty quickly for two reasons 1) I haven’t gained much and 2) I wont have time to eat! I refuse to be one of those women who holds onto 10, 20, 40 or even 50 pounds of weight and thinks its ok because its ‘baby weight’. I personally want my husband to look at me and think I look good and trust me, he is not the kind of guy that loves unconditionally when it comes to looks! Women in general tend to be more accepting of ‘flaws’ and that is the way it is in our marriage. He gained almost 30 pounds when he quit smoking (he picked it up again and lost all the weight) but when he was bigger, I thought he was a hot hunk of a husband but if I gained 30 pounds, Id be single!! Now, if he stopped clipping his finger nails, he’d be single so I guess it goes both ways. I cant stand long nails on a man!! GROSS! Anyway, I am in my planning mode for getting skinny again and its a little frustrating because I still have 2 months left but at the same time it takes my mind off the fact that every step hurts because my baby is way low and giving me pelvic bone pain like no other. I had heard of this pelvic bone stuff but never experienced it until this pregnancy. Pregnancy is so hard sometimes but life goes on! You have to keep going through the pain and the uncomfortableness and thank god it is over in 9 months!!
