i made myself a cup of tea and spilled it on the floor. time for today to be over.
don't ever think you've avoided pregnancy side-effects until your baby is out and you can be sure.
i kept reading about heartburn, but never got it! then month 7 came.
i didn't have any swelling and little water retention! then last weekend my ankles disappeared.
my morning sickness was predictable and quick every day, months 2 and 3 only. no long bouts of nausea! until about 2 weeks ago, when the thought of most things i might eat makes me feel blech.
i had limited pee breaks each night--usually just once, around 7am, and it wasn't a panic to get to the washroom. now i'm up every 2.5-3 hours like clockwork, and have to walk to the bathroom hunched over or i'll pee my pants lol
and HURRAH! no belly stretch marks! i am so good with hardcore moisturizers! my boobs do have the stretchy shimmer, but they grew so damn fast right at the start i didn't have a chance :| ... ... WHO WAS I KIDDING--my belly has marks around my bellybutton and a bit on the underside. which makes sense because i swear the child DOES try to make its escape through my skin. and it could be WORSE--they're not horrible. but they're there.
MORAL OF THE STORY: it will all happen. maybe last minute, but you will not escape each and every glorious side effect of the miracle of growing a human life.
****MOMENT OF PANIC FOR THE DAY****
my 3rd cousin was due to have a baby around my due date. i think maybe even a day or two after. she gave birth YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY!! then at dinner tonight, a woman i've met a few times at swim meets said that one of her children was born 4 weeks early. THAT WOULD BE NEXT WEEK FOR ME. sweet heaven.
i need to pack my hospital bag. THAT step in this entire baby-growing process is going to be one that freaks me out. that, and not so much putting the carseat anchored base in the car, but putting the "BABY ON BOARD" sign up. THAT i feel will be a changing point in my life.
ohhh hyperventilating a bit. time for bed. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
