Aka., re-defining the word, “uncomfortable”.
Everywhere I go, people say, “WOW! From the back, I’d never even guess you were pregnant!” Even my mom commented tonight that she’d never seen a “baby bump” be so narrow, without spreading anywhere else. I don’t think it was even this bad with Gregory, because beginning at 37 weeks, I had significant swelling with him. Not so with Mr. Anthony– no swelling anywhere, no carpal tunnel. Those are definite blessings, to be sure.
But the significant, and I mean SIGNIFICANT downside? It hurts a whole lot more, especially in my back. There are only 2 parts of me taking the entire brunt of that extra 30 pounds, which is tough work, I tell you! I think my hips and lower back deserve a medal when this is all through.

awww, well, you’re adorable. =) I think I’ve finally hit the point where you forget how awful the last trimester is and just think how wonderfuly adorable pregnant women look. 😉

The last trimester? Weren’t all 3 kinda miserable for you? And don’t be fooled– “pregnancy cuteness” is like a Venus Fly Trap, I tell you 😉

haha, yes…but that was a different kind of awful and you DO look cute. 😛 but yes, I wouldn’t wish a pregnancy going past due for anyone…here’s to hoping he comes soon. Easter baby anyone? =)
