Time to exercise

Baby can feel and touch now and apparently is starting to bulk up now... They say this is when you start growing the most - and there's nothing you can do about it. And because I've never been a skinny girl, I'm probably going to look like a house by the end of the third trimester, which is a mere two weeks away. I'm already at the heaviest I've ever been in my whole life - a whopping 70kg! I know I have been eating more than usual but to have gained a whole 10kg is scary! I need to get back on that exercise bike that taunts me every time I get under the blankets. We had moved it out of the guest room into our bedroom after we had guests staying and I didn't want to miss a day of exercise. Now look! It just sits there staring blankly at me, waiting. Patiently.

And then at the same time I keep telling myself I need to just calm down and enjoy this time. There's far too much pressure on moms to look fabulous all the time, even during pregnancy. And yes, I wanted to look fabulous too. But now I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to be a yummy mummy. I just don't have the budget! *sigh* I must just focus on baby girl now and stop being so vain. Like Hein and Ingrid always tell me: 'What do you expect? You're pregnant!'
