My life right now consists of every article of clothing being made of a stretchy material and I walk like a have a watermelon between my legs. I have a friend that is due just 4 days after me with her 3rd as well. At the beginning of this pregnancy she mentioned that her thoughtful husband made the comment that he thought this pregnancy was going to be the "body breaker" I didn't know that he was talking about me. My friend still looks great, she carries her babies high and doesn't have a single stretch mark. I on the other hand have felt ready to deliver for about 3 months now. I am afraid that his head is going to come out totally jacked up from being in the birth canal since 20 weeks. My pregnancy with the girls was a breeze! I never felt like this with them not even right before delivery. I have waddled for ever and I swear my hips are so jacked up I need to wear one flat shoe and one shoe that is atleast 2 inches taller. I weigh a pound more now then I did at delivery with both of them and I still have 9 weeks to go. My little sister and my sis in law had their babies about 3 weeks ago on the same day both darling healthy little boys. I have to admit that I thought I would feel very sad for myself but I really am not ready for him to come out yet. I am ready to be able to bend over and sleep without having to wake up every time I need to roll this body over. (I need one of those handles that hang from the ceiling like you see in the hospital that would really be helpful.)
I have to say that I am grateful that I can have babies. It is an amazing experience it has just never felt like this big of a sacrifice before. I am very excited to have this baby in the spring instead of the cold winter like my girls.
