My lovely wife has been in a crisis of self-confidence lately.
I don't know if this is just her or if all pregnant ladies reach a point where they just feel somewhat blah about their appearance, even if they're excited about being pregnant.
I try to tell her all the time that she looks good, but she always asks me, "Do I look pregnant, or just fat?"
That question is kind of like asking a normal person "When you kill people, do you eat their liver or their brain first?"
Most men would rather run hurdles barefoot across a track strewn with shards of pointy broken glass that hear that question.
For the record, my wife looks pregnant and beautiful.

keep boosting her up! It's part of the process, It's normal
Good answer. And true.
Awwww..
FWIW, I went through a phase where I was SURE people just thought I'd been a bit lax around the cookies lately, it isn't the best but it passes :)

It really is hard on the ego to pack around that extra weight. Especially if you've battled with the bulge all your life (like I have). I totally understand her feelings.
Keep telling her how good she looks, Mr. Shoes.
As excited as I am to be pregnant, the weight gain I am experiencing is a little tough to take at times. It is most definitely not just her. Keep giving the boosts, as it is ALWAYS nice to hear. I am trying to keep both of my chins up about this.
Cool. How did two such interesting people with the ability to write so well get together? :)
