7 LONG DAYS…
Lately I get the feeling that my children are seeing the belly come first. It can be very intimidating. My oldest son keeps making comments like “not bad for a pregnant woman…” whenever I actually get something accomplished, like cleaning a room, or laundry, or dinner.
It’s getting rough, I won’t glamorize it. I think I’ll be living in sweats for the next week because nothing fits me anymore. Even if I can squeeze into something proper to wear out in public, it squeezes my lower belly the entire time causing frequent trips to the bathroom.
My belly wants to hang free and easy right now.
Getting out of bed, or a chair has become a comical performance.
Shaving my legs or clipping my toenails is a joke…and I can’t control any gas that may escape when I’m in your presence.
I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY BODY, PEOPLE!
But that’s okay.
7 more days…7 long days that can separate the woman from the girl.
Good Enough
I know how you feel. I’m only at 20 weeks, and I’m starting to feel the same way. I tried to paint my toenails the other day and could barely get my feet into a decent position. I’m going to be huge with this one! You look great!
Wow, you’re almost there!
Not too much longer… you can do it, you can do it
Almost 31 wks here so I feel ya.
you look like so small Eve!! I was a walking house. Must be the ballerina figure. You are darling!!
After I had my third, my doula, who has three kids, jokingly said something like, “The third baby is what separates the women from the girls.” Now I can’t help but think that about the fourth baby. ;-P
