Knocked Up Swagger

Apparently for a 6 month knocked up lady, I still got some swag going on. Yesterday I went with a coworker to pick up takeout and on the way back she says "oooo that guy was checking you out!" And I am like "Oh please, I am 6 months pregnant!". And she says "Well you don't really look pregnant with that on, guys probably check you out and if they see your belly, they probably think 'well she could do a few crunches, but that's okay.' It's a compliment!" I was LOL! And then this morning on my way to the gym, a dude getting into his car said good morning in that "I really just wanted a reason to say something to you" way and then on the way back from the gym another dude was all "wow sweetie, you look gorgeous!". Me: "ummmm okay" as I walk away. I was literally like "well damn, I guess I got the knocked up swagger game on lock! And this is with workout clothes on and zero makeup!". So yeah I am a big supporter of all things natural, ayurvedic toothpaste straight from india, mineral makeup, raw shea butter lotion, etc...But at the same time I am pretty vain and love to look good so of course I am thrilled that at the 6 month mark I can still turn 'em out, LOL! I told B not to be mad. He said "um why would I care?" LOL! I am trying to be a hot pregnant lady and eventually a yummy mummy. Like one of those women who you see with a baby and you are all "Damn, YOU had a baby???" Gone are the days when pregnant women can get away with looking slovenly just because they have the bun(mine is chocolate!) in the oven. Okay so maybe that's kind of sexist but I feel like why should ladies just let themselves go during pregnancy? I mean this is the time when you should pamper yourself the most! I was never into the mani/pedi thing but now I plan on getting it done every couple of weeks! And even after the baby is here, I know it's going to be crazy but I plan on making me time everyday, please believe. Even if that time is only me being able to go to the gym for an hour or so after feeding the baby. Or just going for a walk around the neighborhood. I have plans in place to ensure that as a new maman, I will be balanced, healthy and happy although very sleep deprived I am sure. That's par for the course. I am still wrapping my head around that fact that there will be a little guy coming on the scene in four months! Okay maman feeding time...
