pregnancy is challenging

Because when you get into the tub the water level rises by 12 inches and if you move too quickly there is a tidal wave.

Because you have do contort your body into strange positions in order to shave your legs or file your heels but then you throw your back out if you actually manage to contort that way.

Because your boobs take over the focal point of all pictures… not to mention your belly and butt!

Because when you were already needing to lose a “couple” of pounds when you got knocked up, you get your own area code at 7 months pregnant. I’d imagine I’ll be declared a new province by my 9th month. Hopefully I’ll be able to set my own tax rates.

Because looking at food can cause you to suddenly gain 2 pounds and if you have been craving that food, probably more.

Because your 5 year old tells you that you are looking kind of huge, sort of like the Beluga whale at the Vancouver Aquarium.

Because unless you sit down and cross your legs while laughing, coughing, sneezing, crying or blowing your nose (and well, let’s be honest, pretty much any other activity), you will pee your pants. If you haven’t been to the bathroom in over 10 minutes then you just might anyway.

Because it takes 15 minutes to arrange the at least 6 pillows you need to support your various sagging parts in bed and by the time you are comfortable you are so hot that you have to get up and stand in front of a fan and then start the process all over again.

Because sex, well, let’s just say, “the grey old mare, she ain’t what she used to be”!

Because complete strangers ask you inappropriate questions about your vagina and how much you weigh and then rub your belly as if it will grant them a wish.

Lovin’ it so far!
