Goodbye toes



This is me at 31 weeks. As requested by my friend Clarissa, I finally had to put up a picture of me with the babe in the belly. It's not a pretty sight at any angle. With my first 2, I guess I didn't really have the generic pregnancy woes because this little guy is like night and day compared to the others. I can't do basic household chores for fear of cramps. I can barely walk up stairs without being completely exhausted. I can't wear anything but flip flops because of my swollen feet. And I clearly can't see my toes due to the enormity of my belly. It's been a painful and difficult ride this time around so let's just say for us, the 3rd time is not a charm. It's a joke in our household that the wrath of the vampire fetus is upon me because everything hurts and aches and it's like he's eating me from the inside out (gross visual I know.). Don't get me wrong, it's a blessing to have a new baby and I'm so happy we are able to bring this new life to the earth. I'll just be over the (new) moon....Get it? Yes I'm lame.... when we see this precious little vamp baby come out into the world as opposed to squeezing my guts on the inside.

Dar Bella,

THANK YOU for posting this. I actually feel like I can now picture who I'm talking to when we chat on the phone. You look great. I was right, you just thought you were getting big...but it was just you.

Glad it's almost over!! (And hopefully comes within the allotted timeframe!)

Have you considered the name Renesmeld? Very catchy.
