Stop Staring, It Is Rude

23 weeks. I only have to go to 39 as that is when the doctor said she would schedule the c-section.

Heartburn abounds. My feet are beginning to swell. My vagina still feels bruised. And my belly is starting to get to the point where crossing my legs is a thing of the past. Don't ask me about shaving....the lower half of my legs are still okay but everything else.....could be scary. (Cue Welcome To The Jungle)

However, I have gotten a nice tan, my hair is growing as are my nails. The tan also helps hide the hairiness. So that is double bonus.

Oh and of course I am getting THOSE looks a lot now. If I hold my back and take deep breaths, I can freak people out because they think I am in labor. When people ask when I am due and I say November I get that, "Oh wow" comment now too. Bite me people.

This is what 23 weeks looks like if you are 4'9" tall and expecting child #3.....please stop crying. I am really fine. Just typical pregnancy stuff that a lot of pregnant women get, regardless of anything else. Things are going good so I can not really complain.

Being short and pregnant sucks. No matter what, you always look huge. And I'll never understand why people feel like they should be able to judge how big you are versus when you're due. Don't listen to 'em!

I think you look beautiful, Abby.

(And I remember that bruised feeling--it sucks!)

You do look great. The tan looks good on you. You're reminding me why I don't want to be pregnant again for a long time, though. ;)

I never looked that pretty, or got that glow you have, while pregnant. Actually, I remember a friend who I hadn't seen for a few months coming over when I was about 6 months, and she said, "you know that glow you always hear about women getting when they're pregnant? You don't have it." So sweet.

You have it. You're radiant.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
