16 weeks

This week I'm 16 weeks pregnant.  My baby is the size of an avocado....yum.  I'm not sure if they mean one of those small mexican avocados or what.  I'm pretty sure its not one of those Nicaraguan avocados that are the size of  a newborn baby.  Either way, I think I will have one with my lunch...not a baby...an avocado.

Here ya go.  Pictures of my growing stomach.

First the before picture.  This is me a year ago taken at Semuc Champay, one of the most beautiful, peaceful places in the world.  This is how I want to remember my body.  This is probably me at my thinnest and healthiest.  Notice my non-existent stomach.

Here I am this morning on an empty stomach.  In the evening, after a whole day of eating, it is even bigger.

Last weekend, I went to visit my friends at the hotel where we stayed before coming here to the mine.  Various girls from the kitchen commented on my new figure.  The consensus was that they dont see a change in my stomach (which is still flat by Honduran standards) but that my but has gotten very fat...yes gorda is the word that they used.  I was actually pretty depressed after the visit but they all thought it was hilarious.  

I'm still wearing my normal clothes...well not the clothes that I wore prepregnancy but the clothes that I brought back from my very fattening visit to Dallas.  I think they are clothes from a few years ago, before I lost all that weight in 2009.  I put on a pair of shorts from my trip last year and although I can still wear them, I used to be able to pull them down without unbuttoning them and now I cannot.  My bras are a distant memory also, I live in sportsbras now because they are so stretchy and comfy and by live I mean that I even sleep in them.
