It's okay about my shower...Kristin told me about Henry (or was it Sam?). I hope he's feeling better! We would love to get to see you sometime, and I would love to see the boys as well. We need to figure out a way to get together in the next couple of months! Michal – you are too sweet! It’s okay about my shower…Kristin told me about Henry (or was it Sam?).

You look AMAZING! Such a cute pregnant momma you are! I was so sorry to have missed your shower on Sunday. It seems like every time I make plans one of the boys decides to get sick. I have a gift for you and would love to drop it by sometime before your big day. XOXO Candice! You look AMAZING! Such a cute pregnant momma you are!

So happy for you. I can totally relate to not recognizing your legs/feet. Mine were out of control swollen! They went back to normal within a couple days of delivery though so no worries :) You look adorable, Candice! So happy for you. I can totally relate to not recognizing your legs/feet.

I know that yours will be different b/c you have two and I'm assuming a c-section but it still may help. You can email me if you ever want to chat over the phone.

You made me feel so normal and validated...especially with the whole overeating discomfort thing. I hate when I do that, but it seems to happen so fast that I don't even see it coming. I have gotten a lot better in the last week or so since this post, thank goodness. Totally agree about preferring skirts and dresses. Actually I really prefer soft t's and pajama shorts, but that doesn't really fly when going to work haha. I so need school to be out...like yesterday. I also really appreciate your last paragraph. I have to admit, I hadn't thought a whole lot about the aftermath because I've been so focused on just getting to that point. But I think recognizing that it will be tough and preparing for it mentally as much as possible can do nothing but help. Thanks for the heads up:) I hope you are feeling well this week!!

Sometimes some kind of beans (typically chickpeas). We just started adding chia seeds too. Another salad we like a lot is lightly steamed chard and beans with lots of lemon juice.

Or I should say the same pain your feeling. Yes it's just as painful with one as with two and it's not something you get used to whether this is your 1st pregnancy or your 3rd. I get lots of sharp pains in different areas of my belly which my dr said is normal. I'm also hungry all the time but feel full at the same time. I overate last night for dinner and I was so miserable for the rest of the evening I cried. BTW I've been crying a lot! As for the pants/jeans...I tried to put on my under the belly maternity jeans yesterday and they no longer fit! So i officially have no jeans and only one pair of cargo pants. Although I have found that I really prefer skirts and dresses over pants because it's less constricting. Preferable knit or cotton :-) And the heartburn is slowly creeping up on me this week as well. Up to this point I've been enjoying jalapenos and things like that but I don't know how much longer i can keep up with that! It's all worth it in the end and just to warn you there's a whole new slew of aches and pains during your post-partum period (most of which people don't talk about) but just know that this too shall pass (which I didn't really believe after my 1st) Oh Candice I feel your pain!
