Belly Update

17 weeks of thick

Well, there’s not a belly update, really.
I’m just looking, well, stocky.

I’m just rocking a thick middle.
Thick middle.

I have never been tiny, always medium. I range from medium to large medium.
And wherever I fall in that range, I have all kinds of insecurities and self-hates.

And when our dear friends come and put their hands on my bloaty, bulgy, very thick middle, well, I recoil.
I want not to.
I want to proudly wear snug tops and
lift up my shirt to show the world,
“HEY! There’s finally a fetus up in there!”

But that’s not going to happen.

Not to mention the tattoos readying themselves for mass realignment.
(You REALLY don’t want to see those.)
