Good God you are hard on yourself!!!!! You look fantastic and those "flabby arms" are not flabby! I hope that someday I will look as beautiful pregnant as you do. You have "the glow"!

For those following the pregnancy, super quick update. Tatum is perfect, I've gained a solid 18-20lbs, and the ob told me today that I needed to hide the scale, focus on getting my Protein only because I told him I was having mad cravings for red velvet cake, and then told me to indulge in as much red velvet cake as I could get my hands on.

I still struggle with the physical changes, and to some degree weight gain, but it's getting better every month.

I also get a lot of questions about my skin after losing 140-145lbs so I decided to be brave today, and share some fully sleeveless pics. Personally, it doesn't bother me. I have an aversion to armpits so I don't wear sleeveless shirts. I think armpits are repulsive, and I have zero desire to show mine off. Plus, I suffer from Brandilynn's razor line of random underarm hair that I miss occasionally.

My home glucose monitoring was perfect, textbook numbers, zero chance of gestational diabetes WOOT WOOT ! ! ! I go back in 3 weeks, a growth scan will be done, and we'll get new pics of Tater Tot then, she's stubborn, and is not cooperating at this point for pictures.

As you can see, I have flabby arms, but considering the amount of weight I lost, they could have been worse. Also, remember I've gained back over 10% of my weight lost, and some of that has gone back to my arms, my arms are normally thinner at the top. If you notice, my ass is still flat, my hips have widened, but I'm still wearing a size small maternity pants, or a size 4/6 in maternity pants. I have one pair of 8's that are "skinny" maternity crop pants, but I'm having trouble finding a good fit in maternity pants since I'm carrying so much of the weight in my stomach, but I'm still narrow in the butt and thighs.

Cheers everyone. . . 3 more months, 3 more months, 3 more months ! ! !

Also, the ass is not flat, it's the baby tummy that creates the illusion that the ass is flat or places emphasis on the smallish bottom. You look good.

Your belly bump is adorable! Thanks for sharing. I think your arms look great. You have no reason to hide them under sleeves other than that random hairline thing you mentioned. Tip on the hairline thing: shower with hubby and have him check for missed spots.

You look fantastic! What an adorable bump. Also, I don't think your arms look bad at all. I've already decided that no matter how bad my batwings are, I plan on rocking some sleeveless shirts!
