Here's What I've Learned...

about being THIS pregnant.
You see, with McKinley I went two weeks early, so I'm an entire week past that this time and it's been an interesting week. Here are something I've learned:
1. I'm not sure I LOVE people's honestly right now. Take my wonderful husband for instance. We were walking to church on Sunday and he got this silly little grin on his face and said "Guess what, you now waddle!". It did make me laugh though and it's true.
2. Strangers like to say crazy things more and more often. Lately I've heard "Are you trying to sneak a pumpkin out of the patch?". "oh, wow, you're due REALLY soon, huh?", "You're belly is pointing at me!" (I'm not lying a lady next to me in the redbox line really said that to me!) and my favorite "You could have a baby any day" -yes, I can :)
3. The last two weeks ARE more uncomfortable. I see cute little newborns and think, oh yes, it is going to be better when she's on the outside!
4. Did you ever watch Friends? Did you see the episodes where Rachel is pregnant and a bout to deliver? You know, the ones where she starts wearing her pre-pregnancy clothes and they look horrible because they are too small and her big pregnant belly is hanging out of them? Ok, now that you have the mental picture...that's me! Only it's not my pre-pregnancy clothes. I'm outgrowing my maternity clothes!!!! I don't think that's supposed to allowed! :)
Those are just a few things I learned, mostly funny, but yes, I am excited to not be pregnant anymore.

Haha. I am so in the same boat right now. With my first I went 2 months early. With my second, it was 2 1/2 weeks early. So in my mind, THAT was my due date... 2 1/2 weeks early. Now that has come and gone, and I am considering myself OVERDUE!! And it sucks. Hopefully your babe shows up soon. Good luck with the delivery. Can't wait to see pics! :)

I'll pray she comes soon for you. I feel like the last month NEVER ends!!!! I guess it's that way so that we want to get them out. :)

Good luck! Luckily I've never had strange and rude comments from strangers, but it is amazing that people have the gumption to make those types of comments to people they have never met. "Your belly is pointing at me..." Seriously. That one is a killer.

I hate that our wards split! I knew you were pregnant but didn't know you were far enough along to have your "belly pointing" at the lady in the Red Box line ! LOL Some nerve that lady has (but man that's funny!)

I am so happy for you! Can't wait to here about the babies arrival!
