This is one for the history books kids. The Granny Pants Rebellion is officially over. A decisive victory has been won by the Granny Pants, and the Preggo Mama is defeated.
That’s right…
I caved…
I’m wearing my comfy maternity stretchy top panel thingie all the way over my belly instead of folded down around my belly button. These babies are seriously touching my ribs. Kind of an homage to Steve Erkel and Granny Panties everywhere. Not all my pants have this type of stretchy panel thingie at the top – some are just an uncomfortable stretchy inch or two. But these babies, along with a couple other things I now own, have enough material at the top to cover Nunavut (or my belly in a few short months…).
It’s a funny feeling, being in the thick of things… history being made before my very eyes.
Wow.
Filed under: Contentment, YAY BABIES!, farewell feet, pregnancy symptoms, yikes!
My feet and ankles have been nicely swollen and puffy these last few weeks… especially when it’s super-hot & humid outside. Tomorrow is supposed to kick off the summer of humidity with the temp in the mid-30’s and feeling like 41 with the humidex! YIKES! It’ll probably pretty much be like this from now until I give birth. And thus it begins… Wish me luck & pray I survive
In addition to my large feet and ankles (not to mention belly), I am trying very hard not to have over-inflated expectations about the whole “rest of my life” thing. I mean, I have no idea what to expect, so I’m trying to be totally open about it, but I really can’t help dreaming and thinking about how I picture life as a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom). I have this excited feeling down in the pit of my belly (or is that baby doing a tap-dance?? haha!) that I’m going to love it so much… even as much as I love being married to Chris. If that’s the case, then I’ll be a VERY happy person indeed.
