Current Affairs- Monday November 7th


I feel like one of the McCrary twins these days. It’s not just the constant shots of insulin or the constant doctors appointments that all start with a weigh in…it’s that I can’t remember what I looked like pre-belly/cankles/double butt. (A double butt is when you have another butt made out of back fat on top of your usual butt.) It’s impossible for me to imagine being able to exercise or tie my own shoes or shave my legs.

The leg shaving situation is so out of control, if you’re wondering, that I have regular nightmares where I’m sleeping and Tom sneaks a peak at my legs and passes out and hits his head and I can’t do CPR because I’m too fat to get out of bed and I am stuck just rolling back and forth like a dung beetle stuck on it’s back.

I really thought I’d be a more darling pregnant lady. I didn’t think it’d be all farts, burps, and f-words.

As of tomorrow, we’ll have 36 more days until Baby Girl arrives. I do sometimes worry about her health, and I frequently worry about Tom and my careers, and I worry non-stop about where we’ll live and when we’ll let her get a cell phone and what we’ll tell her about her brother and if I’ll be able to give her a sibling and if I’ll be a good mom and what my life will look like once she arrives. But it’s a relief not to worry any more about her coming too soon. And it’s a huge relief to know that we really did survive and that we really are going to be ok.

    So, save me from doing the math: what is her exact due date? Will you have a c-section? Sorry if you already said and I don’t remember. I’ve heard several women say their “memory left with the placenta.” Now I think I know what they mean. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo I bet Tom doesn’t care if your legs are shaved. You are on cervical rest anyway. ;0)
