After a dreadful year last year in which both my DC were diagnosed with a disability (different disabilities, one expected, one a total, massive, I might never get over the shock type shock) followed by my Dad nearly dying and me having a miscarriage, I went temporarily mad and organised a massive 40th birthday party for myself. I think I just wanted to do something that was meant to be happy, but should have gone shopping instead.
I will be 4ish months when I have the party but if now is anything to go by I think I'll have an obvious bump, which would will just look like I'm fat. I'm thinking this as I have a bump now which actually is fat and unless baby has a sudden growth spurt, it's not going to turn 'baby' bump for a while.
Also, most people coming to the party won't know I'm pregnant and I think I'll end up saying to everyone, "hi, thanks for coming, btw I'm not just fat I'm pregnant" and then I'll have to talk about babies. I don't really want to as some friends have said 'you must be mad' when I told them I wanted a third, and I get a bit touchy because I think they mean because my dc have additional needs and why would I risk having another, how will I cope etc.
Oh god. Am sorry for this long post. I've ordered some dresses from new look but I think I'm going to look dreadful however nice the item. Are there any good tips for making a bump obvious while looking slimming on the rest of the body? I'd like to enjoy my party, even tho it was prompted by madness.
Sorry again for long post.xx
