Me: I look like a whale.
Husband: You don't look like a whale.
Me: Did you know I actually breach when I turn over at night? I breach!
Husband: So that was the noise I heard the other night.
Me: I'm being serious. Is it possible for a pregnancy to go on forever?
Husband: God, I hope not.
I've been pregnant since the end January 2011. I was pregnant when there were discount Christmas decorations being offered. I am still pregnant to see this year's Christmas displays being put up. I was in IKEA the other day and by god, they had set up a huge Christmas spread in their candle section. Is it possible to repeat seasons when you're pregnant? Should I talk to my OB about this?
We moved two weekends ago and our lives have been, oh, less than serene. Our house is wonderful, and lovely, and just right for us, but most of my thoughts are concentrated on taking care of my 2 year old baby and the baby inside me that is potentially growing to the size of a 2 year old. Thank god for friends, family, husband, and frozen yoghurt (I can't seem to get enough of it!). I overworked my body one day (and by overworked, I mean I actually did some work that required the slightest semblance of physical movement) and I paid for it big time that night. Everything hurt. I then read the next day about a woman who completed a marathon and then gave birth 3 hours later. Ya, I finished off the frozen yoghurt that night (stupid overachieving moms!).
As our house takes form, and I lose a bit more of the body I used to have, I think of what changes are to come in the next few weeks. I have to say, despite the boxes and the ginormous pile of recycling that the city refuses to take, I am ready for what adventure life will present us. I am scared of returning to many a' sleepless nights, but I can't wait for this little girl to make her entrance. Besides, she may even be walking by then.
