My large 30 week body

Ah, the third trimester. People warned me about it, but I didn't listen. Well, I kind of listened, but I try to focus on the positive things people tell me and not the negative ones. I know things will be different when the baby comes and my life is going to change and I'll be getting significantly less sleep, thanks. Anyway, my belly is no longer small - it's gigantic and it's going to keep getting bigger. According to my baby book, for the next month or so Sunny is going to be gaining a half pound a week and I'll be gaining a pound a week. The increased weight of my little girl has caused my body to take on some lovely third trimester characteristics. Some aren't so lovely, others are kind of amusing. I've succumbed to the pregnant lady waddle. I used to try to walk normally, now I could care less. This is especially true when I have to pee and am on the way to the bathroom. I get toilet tunnel vision I have to go so bad. I'm super thirsty all day long, but I can go for hours without getting hungry. I'll eat half a sandwich and be uncomfortably full for a good two hours. Getting up from a seated position has become a challenge. The other night when we were out to dinner a man from the table next to me offered his hand for support and I took it. Thank you, kind sir. I've gotten a lot better at accepting and asking for help. I admit it - I'm not as agile as I used to be, but I'm carrying a precious load! And that's what we've decided to name Sunny...Precious Load. Isn't it beautiful?
