- Bending over to pick up snacks I've dropped
- Sifting through my stretch pants to find ones without holes in them
- Making sure I'm not breathing too hard
- Taking the creepy elevator at work
Last summer I saw this 3-part photo that I wanted to recreate when I got pregnant. The first photo is you with your positive pregnancy test. The second photo is you, (same position, same outfit) super pregnant. The third photo is you (same position, same outfit) with your baby.
As is everything with Pinterest, my real-life version was pretty barf-tastic. Obviously, the first photo turned out fine because I had cheek bones and could sit indian-style without sweating. I took the second photo again last weekend and not only did I want to slap myself for wearing jeans in the first pic 8 months ago, but seeing the side-by-side comparison of 'me then' vs. 'me now' made me realize I have probably gained 250-300 pounds. LITERALLY. Stay tuned for how the 3rd photo turns out - I'll be sure to post the finished product so you can all feel good about yourselves.
But besides waking up to a throbbing pubic bone and wanting to lick the floor of my garage (I have diagnosed myself with pica), this really is a pretty fun time. The anticipation of how this is all going to go down is pretty exciting - plus, this is the time of year when spring starts to peek out and I get really really really happy.
Maternity leave starts in 3 weeks. Woo woo!
