Where's my freakin glow?

Half way mark tomorrow and I'm starting to think the whole pregnancy glow is a myth! My skin looks terrible,  hair is dry, I think I saw a tiny resemblance to a stretch mark forming last night.  I mean all for good reason of course and I love my little man but we leave for our honeymoon Saturday and i would've loved to feel beautiful and not like a troll. Hopefully the sunshine helps!!

I was the total opposite. I had 2 girls first and I looked horrible. I swore I looked like I was going to fall over at any min. People were always asking if I felt ok. Now I'm having a boy and I finally got to see a glow! I was beyond sick and no one could tell. They said I still looked great. Don't stress if you don't get it now. You may get it at the end or when you have a girl. Congrats!

Have you seen the movie, What to expect when you're expecting?
What you're going through reminds me of Elizabeth Banks' character. She gets her glow in the end ;)
