Has anyone heard the old wives tale that a baby girl will steal her mommas beauty during pregnancy? Boy, has that reigned true for me, lol. Thank GOD my hormones have not been insane and I have been able to laugh about most of it. I have almost ZERO color, I look like the living Casper, dark circles and bags under my eyes, ruptured capillaries EVERYwhere. Literally from my face to my toes. Varicose veins, hair in places I didn't know it could even grow, my jowels have grown, my hair and nails grow like crazy but not healthy, lol And now I am a swollen mess. But somehow, I have been able to get excited about even these, the crappiest effects of pregnancy, because I know it all means there is a sweet baby girl just growing in my belly! So thankful that my husband still manages to tell me I'm beautiful when I hobble out of bed in the morning on my cankles, with my face swelled so bad I can barely open my eyes or close my mouth, breathing like an obese elephant and a head full of nappy hair, lol 😂 Almost to the finish line and hopefully I will be able to look somewhat human again shortly after :)
