OK everyone! I am finally posting--expect a flurry of updates since it's been a few months! We'll start out by saying that the last month of pregnancy STINKS! In an attempt to be creative, here are some things that I think STINK about 9th month.
S--wollen ankles, legs, face, hands, everything
T--ake a tumble. You may not remember that 4 days before Talia was born, I did a glorious belly flop in Jen's driveway while carrying a crock pot of beans out to my car. Well, I had a repeat the other day, but this time I wish it was in the privacy of Jen's yard. Unfortunately, it happened at the Gateway while we were there shopping with our friends Dan and Stacie. I caught the toe of my shoe on the edge of some bricks in the walkway, and couldn't regain my balance and ended up sprawled out all over the pavement. By the way, thanks for laughing so much Dan!
I--'m ornery. Let's face the facts and call it what it is. The other day, Chris pointed out how ornery I really am. I reminded him that an ornery day for me is a normal day for him, which he did agree with.
N--o sleep. How can I possibly sleep with my back and hips hurting this much, and a human inside me kicking to get out?! You may see more posts on the blog at odd hours of the night, because lately I've been wandering around quite a bit between the hours of 1 and 5 am.
K--ilograms (or pounds). Can the weight gain just stop already? Who knew I would end up this huge?! I cringe to think of all the lunges and squats I'm going to have to do, along with all the months I'm going to have to go hungry, just to get some semblance of my old body back. It's so depressing, I don't want to think about it. Hand me another cookie to take away the pain!
S--upport hose. What a marvelous invention! When it's a hundred degrees plus outside, let's make poor pregnant women with bad veins wear glorified nylons that are so freaking tight they take 15 minutes to put on and raise your body temperature another 20 degrees! Curse the women in my family for giving me the varicose vein genetics! Let's hear a round of applause for laser vein surgery, which has replaced a tummy tuck as #1 on my list of procedures to have done in the near future!

I am sitting at your house, dying laughing! The support hose, are hot! I told you, I so feel for you! I am not even going to say that you are "almost" done, cuz that doesn't mean crap to a pregnant woman, let's just say, "Get him out" already! So excited you posted on the blog already! Keep it up!
Hmmm...it's about time. I say "amen" to everything. But, I still don't think you know what it's like to look like a huge heffer pregnant lady. You are still way smaller than I was. You suck. Good luck though!
hey, you posted! and all i can say about your topic is "good luck with all that". :)
