A Gem Well Taken

The moment you realize you're a gem, is the moment you are swept off your feet!

My body...

O.K....O.K., I know you all are going to think I'm crazy, but can you imagine that I HATE my body right now! Now I'm not looking for any compliments here, so please spare me, but until you have actually carried a baby full term you have no idea the feeling! To the ladies who will understand...try to imagine only owning two pairs of pants, throw in a few shirts (none really cute at that), a doctor telling you to wear support hose to reduce the ever growing vein in my leg. And yes I did say support hose; you know the ones we use to wear 10 years ago! Call me stubborn but I can't bring myself to wearing them, I'm uncomfortable enough! Then I could go into all the curvy areas but I wouldn't want your imagination running with those thoughts! I get out of breath climbing my stairs or talking to fast, I use the bathroom as frequently as I blink my eyes, when sleeping I toss and turn because I wake up with the feeling of my bones being crushed and in between that I'm up turning the heater either off or on and did I mention peeing in between! So with all this said, I could keep complaining about these minor issues or I can remember and be thankful for the great pregnancy I've had thus far, which of course I chose to be thankful! But I will say that the day I can put on some normal jeans with a real zipper will be the day I'll start to feel myself again. We'll save the size of those jeans for another conversation!

So on a lighter note, I got this email from my friend and I thought it was appropriate:

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my shape to keep, please no wrinkles please no bags and please lift my butt before it sags. Please no age spots please no gray and as for my belly, please take it away. Please keep me healthy please keep me young, and thank you Dear Lord for all that you've done.

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: "If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."

VERY funny blog! I love the joke at the end. Atleast you have a boob big enough to sag:) I can't relate to pregnancy, but I can understand not liking your body. I think we've all been there at some point in our lives. I have no doubt you'll be back to your old body and bladder in no time, so stay positive. Oh and thanks for the good laugh!

Coming from some one who TRULY knows how to be green and ugly in pregnancy...you are a hot mama. I know, I know, no amount of words can change how you "feel". But know that there are those of us who are jealous of your cute belly, your glowing skin and your ability to hang christmas lights outside, paint TWO entire HOMES, carry a big boy and still smile. You make pregnancy look like a breeze, and you don't even know how beautiful you are.

:) That is the beauty of you.

- Love your sister (in law)

Amen Noelle! :) Yes, my friend, you are beautiful...and just totally darling! Though you don't feel it (and I know I cannot relate to the prego part) you certainly make life look like a breeze with all your "skills". :) I only hope to be as cute as you and have such a great pregnancy as you when I do.... :) Oh, I think I can relate on potty/bladder thing...I swear I have the tiniest tanks every made!

Oh mamas you are one of the cutest pregnant women I've ever seen. I can only hope I'm as cute as you when those days arrive for me. Just think you are almost done and pretty soon you will have a beautiful baby girl. Stay strong girl you'll have your little body back before you know it!

P.S. - I'm addicted to 97.5... :)
