Is my bump bigger than her bump?

I am not someone who enjoys being pregnant. I like my glass (or two, okay more like three) of red wine and I don't take lightly to someone taking it away from me for a long period of time. I also take pride in taking care of my body and going to the gym. Recently neither of these things have appealed to me. I actually canceled my beloved gym membership a month ago realizing it just wasn't going to happen for me.

When pregnant with my daughter I gained a disgusting amount of weight and vowed I would NOT do that this time around. Problems with that....My cravings don't care about my weight gain, and I'm naturally a pretty small person. If I eat a cucumber it goes right to my thighs. So of course I'm getting bigger - 17 pounds bigger actually. 17 pounds that I have to shake after this baby comes out and I'm not even close to being done with this pregnancy.

I try not to get too depressed about weight gain. After all I AM pregnant. But instead I find myself comparing myself to any and every single pregnant person out there. I want to know is "my bump bigger than your bump?" Pathetic right? If the timing is right and we spark conversation naturally we ask when the other is due and each time I hope mine is before so it's obvious why I'm so big. And, whats up with these celebrities that gain like 15 pounds and then push out a 9 lbs. baby (probably naturally)? What do they eat during pregnancy?  Air? Is it their food choices or good genes? My diet is actually really great too! Since becoming pregnant even I have switched my daughter and myself over to about a 85% clean eating diet and feel amazing, but I'm still gaining the weight!

Much like last time, I have to keep reminding myself the adorable little creature that is inside me right now and how a cupcake or cookie once a week isn't going to hurt anything.

Running after two kids will surely help with getting all that weight off, and don't forget about breastfeeding!

The guy at the gym said I could always call and renew at anytime.

Am I alone in this? Or are there others out there who feel competitive about the size of their bump? 

Until next time, I'm off to snack on some fruit (insert smirk)
