Today is my 32nd birthday. I am 4 months pregnant with my first baby. I feel very lucky to be happy and healthy and loving life right now...
That said, I'm also very frustrated because I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. I don't recognize my body - and that's only going to get worse in the next few months. My skin has changed - I'm like a 15 year old geeky outcast. My hair has changed - is hair supposed to make a crunching noise? My feet and hands are swollen - I can't wear my wedding ring, and my high heels have been abandoned.
Pre-pregnancy I was the Salon Director at a wonderful salon, surrounded by great hair and fabulous fashion. I felt hip and attractive and fun. Now I feel like I'm slowly morphing into "mom jeans" territory. Help me before it's too late... Please?!?
The first photo is me pre-pregnancy, when I worked in the salon. The second photo is me today, on my 32nd birthday 17 weeks pregnant.
