Yup. That's what I looks like. Sunglasses indoors? You don't want to see what's under those suckers. So for fun I thought I'd fill out one of those little surveys that all the Mom bloggers do. Warning. I hate these things.
How far along - 28 weeks. Measure 41ish. Forty freaking one. With twelve weeks to go. 123456789101112.
Weight Gain - HAHAHAHAHAHA. HA! It helps that my stomach has been shoved up near my throat for months. If you aren't disgusted, you aren't getting it.
Maternity clothes - I out grew my Phinny pregnancy clothes at thirty seconds into this gig.
Stretch marks - Millions. And millions. I use five creams, drink 140 oz of water a day and have a mother who didn't get a single one in five pregnancies. Suck it genetics.
Sleep - There is a reason for those sunglasses humans.
There is still a hundred or so questions to this thing and I can't do it. Let's summarize. I'm miserable but try to picture meeting this babe. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! Boy? Girl? Whatever? I can't wait!
I'm human so while I am so incredibly grateful I'm pregnant, I am capable of recognizing that the daily 'broid pain in addition to having third trimester symptoms for this entire ride would take a toll on anyone. I haven't been able to take a full breath since January. I've peed so much that my hands got a rash from washing them so frequently (bet you haven't heard that one), and I have episodes at work where I literally can not understand what people are saying to me. English words. That language I'm supposed to be pretty fluent in.
Plus my butt is starting to get flat. On the bright side, no third nipple has appeared. What, what! Mel -1, Pregnancy - 399. Better that 400 yo.
Can't wait!
You are so great! I love how you can make this a positive! Seriously, at least it isn't 400.
ReplyDeleteBut I will say that the fibroid pain you mentioned scares me a little. Ahh, life :)
Oh, don’t stress about the fibroid pain Faith. I’m pretty much an anomaly in every sense of this fibroid mess. I know a bajillion people with them and few of them have had the same kind of fun I have. Party, party up in my ute! I’ve been totally praying for you, you know, that you don’t grow things as well I do. ;)
DeleteUgh pregnancy sucks! I'm sorry you're so miserable! I think you look great. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteOnly a good person will tell a crazy laying spread eagle on her floor she looks great. That makes you one of though Audrey. Thanks dudette!
DeleteThat may not be your best picture but you still look great and aren't as big as you might think!
