Ok, let me start by telling you about water retention--it sucks. It feels like your feet are a tube of toothpaste and you keep squeezing and squeezing to get that last drop out because you don't want to waste any-the difference is that with the toothpaste, you get something out, with my feet, it just feels like they are going to explode. Now, working for a high end retailer as I do, you would think it was kind of inappropriate to wear Adidas flip flops to work every day, but they just have to deal with it. I am so heavy now, that even the little nubs on the shoes are breaking off by the minute. In total, I have gained 26 lbs, not so bad considering.
We went to a wedding last weekend and let me tell you, thank god the DJ didn't mix the music well, otherwise I would have been passed out on the dance floor. Never before did I thank someone for the mix of music in the following order, and I do not exaggerate:
Sean Paul, into A/C D/C, into Runaround Sue.
I drink near 60 oz of water laced with a little crystal light a day, and I pee around 60 times, figure a pee break per ounce. No fun having a bladder the size of a walnut. Just started shaving my legs again because it got so hot I had to wear shorts (damn you warm weather). I don't like seeing other pregnant women, it's like I feel as though I have to mark my territory. We are not a dying breed, we are everywhere! My dr told me never to have sex in the winter, that mating season is from March to May. Thanks, Dr. B., I'll remember that for next time.
I have finally finished registering at Babies R Us and Baby Depot. I can't believe I'm gonna have all that shit in my house, when did my house suddenly become to small for us?
Overall, I have to say it's been an incredible experience so far, seeing her move, and feeling is is so amazing. the Dr. told me how she is laying, and I can't get over putting my hand on her butt and knowing that's where it is. The next 2 months are going to be pure hell for me, I'm sure, but I can honestly say I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love people telling me I look like a mushroom and that my feet have nicknames like Moo-shoes (someone had chinese food that day) and pigs feet. I love that the boys at work are so into my pregnancy and want to touch my belly, even though I don't let them. I love hearing them say, your huge or you popped, but your face looks the same (thank god for that). I love that they still invite me to hang out after work at Chili's or Fridays so I can pound those strawberry lemonades (hey, free refills).
And that, my friends, is how I'm feeling right now. Only 10 weeks left, and then my life changes forever. But for now, I am enjoying every second of it. Thanks for experiencing it with me
