I NEED to show these "pre" pictures for you to appreciate the last one. This is me a year ago, pre fertility drugs. I've always had a bootay. This is me doing an Ashiatsu massage. Yes, it is very hard to do with both feet, hence the sweat and concentration.
This is me with Robert and good friend, Wendy taken last summer. I remember it well because we were doing IUI's and I couldn't drink. Robert looks like he drank mine for me. (Luv ya, mean it!) Oh wait! I was drinking a Guinness. I must have been trying to drown my sorrows!
This was me two days ago ... fat chick hiding a 1 pound baby in her ... (?) Hell, baby skeletor could be anywhere! I'm registering for a jogging stroller. Maybe I will actually start jogging!
Funny thing is that EVERYONE says that pregnancy agrees with me. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Really, the weight only bothers me a little bit. It just amazes me at how quickly I'm changing.
As long as our little baby boy is healthy, I'm happy.

I need to share this. I've been craving chocolate cake like crazy. No, I haven't gone nuts with it either. I do need to watch my sugar intake because I'm hypoglycemic and it will hit especially fast right now. I made some adjustments to the boxed cake mix and it actually tastes BETTER than made the regular way. I substitute plain yogurt for all of the oil and use only egg whites in place of whole eggs (4 egg whites instead of 3 whole eggs), that way I get my protein and eliminate all of the fat and cholesterol. I do need to keep it in the fridge though because it is super moist and will spoil faster. I make it in a bundt pan and leave off the icing and it is AWESOME! Try it if you are craving cake!

Yum that cake recipe sounds so good, you are driving me to make a cake this weekend, and chocolate it will be! I love the picture of you doing the massage, how cool is that! You look great in your pregnancy picture as well, no matter what you feel like. Keep sharing the pictures, I love seeing the updates. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for sharing the healthier cake recipe/adjustments. I am sending my husband out for supplies tonight for my cake escapade :-)
Thanks for the tip for the chcolate cake! I'll have to try that out this weekend. I'm on a mission to lose the 25 lbs I've gained since January (mostly due to cycling).
I definitely think that pregnancy agrees with you! :)
Today (Sunday) I made some chocolate cake, it was good! Thought of you :-)
Well, we do what we can, right? Although you look different, I think you look great pregnant!
I love cooking with yogurt - we've made waffles with it that were delightful!
