This started off as a post about boobs. More specifically my huge, huge pregnancy boobs and how yesterday I had to do a spot of bikini top shopping before we head off on holiday. When I was about 8 weeks pregnant I had to buy a couple of bigger bras and then about 2 weeks ago, I had to buy even bigger bras. I’ve always been what some may say is blessed in that department but this is getting ridiculous. A 32 DD on someone who is as vertically challenged as me (5ft 1” ish), well it’s surprising I can stay standing upright.

So that was going to be it. But I wanted to add something else too. A couple of posts ago I wrote about how it wasn’t bothering me at all that my new PJ bottoms were a size bigger to make room for the growing belly. Well it didn’t. Until B took some bump photos of me on Sunday and I got all bummed out about how, now the smallest thing about me (my waist) is disappearing, my short rather dumpy legs appear even dumpier. And I know they’re not, because I’ve actually put on very little weight and all my trousers are still fitting perfectly – well, apart from that top button. But bummed out I still got. In fact, I admit that the picture I posted was carefully chosen as it was the only one that hid said dumpy legs from you all.

It annoys me that this got me so down. After all, B thinks I’m even more awesome than before (his words, not mine) and that actually I’m hotter than ever (again, his words). That he’s loving the boobs as much as the belly. Unsurprisingly. Next time I’ll try to be brave and post those dumpy legs with pride.

Reading all your lovely comments on the Bump Day pictures has certainly cheered me up and now I’m feeling decidedly non-bummed out and on a bit of a high actually. So thank you lovely readers, and a big hello to all those now visiting by way of Em’s blog x

Pictures of some ice creams being devoured. Because ultimately you only get dumpy legs one way. And with our holiday next week and such yummy things to look forward to, I have to say...sod getting down about it and bring on the tasty Cornish treats.
