My Baby Bump in Question

      Four different people came up to me and told me how small I am to be 5 1/2 months. One of my managers even had the nerve to ask if I was really pregnant. What do I even say to that? Oh.. You think I've just been eating a bunch of twinkies and gained all the weight just in my belly? I'm 5 1/2 months and everyone around me is saying how small I am. Two weeks ago, I was so excited because I finally had, what I thought was a 'baby bump'. Apparently I'm the only one to see it. I'm even wearing maternity clothing so I can flaunt it.

      Before pregnancy, I fluctuated in weight between 205-212. I'm 5'10". I worked out a lot. I didn't have any bulk muscles, but they were all very firm. Especially my legs and abs. As a large framed person, I can't ever seem to drop below 200lbs. It's not a big deal, because I thought I looked great. 

     I haven't kept up with any workout during this pregnancy because I was so afraid of pushing too hard. When I go to the gym, it's what I'm used to doing. Pushing myself. I've still been exercising, just not anything with weights. So I had nice tight abs, a long torso, and what everyone has always called 'mother bearing hips'. They're not huge, you can just tell my hips were meant to hold a baby. So of course, I have a bunch of room for my baby to grow before I'm showing too much.

       Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely loooove to have those baby bumps that everyone else has! They're just so cute! I know I'll pop sometime in the next few months.. I just wish people wouldn't put me down because I'm not big enough in their eyes.
