Tis' the time of year when the warm weather makes you want to put on your swimsuit and catch some rays. Well not so much for the momma. Although I enjoy laying out, the beach, and the pool, I have not desired to do it as much because of the dreaded hunt for a new swimsuit. With our upcoming beach trip this Wednesday I really wanted to get a new suit so that I could at least get somewhat of a tan.
I began searching for a swimsuit this past weekend and immediately found out I could not longer fit my normal sizes. For example, the top is now an XL. The girls are just growing at a fast rate these days and have even made bra shopping difficult. So I came home empty handed over the weekend, but headed back out today and made a purchase of a black bikini. Black makes you look slimmer, right?!?!
It was still nice when I returned home and I decided to try out the suit and enjoy some evening rays. Once in the lounge chair I began to think about how difficult laying out will actually be with a growing belly. As I started out laying down on my back, I began to panic. All the books say you shouldn't lay on your back for an extended period of time because it could interfere with the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta and your developing baby. So then I raised my chair. Then it came to my attention that I will definitely not be laying on my stomach, so no sun for my back. I guess I will just have to take some long walks on the beach to get the sun I really want.
Oh well!
I did enjoy the fact that as I was sitting in the chair I looked down and now saw a raised bump....b.o.b.! I even found myself rubbing my belly and thinking about all the acrobatic movies s/he was doing in there. Even though I am not very fond of swimsuits right now, I can put up with it for all the joy that will be brought to my life in a few months!
