Sure, I'm uncomfortable. Don't want to bore you with the list of all the physical discomforts of this pregnancy. But, I think I'm more uncomfortable with everyone's comments to me about my belly. The comments are all over the board. Seriously, within one hour I might get a two comments that are so conflicting (these are actual quotes):
- "Whoa! I don't see how you can get any bigger!"
- "I was waaaay bigger than you are! You're not very big."
- "You look miserable!" - actual quote from the store clerk at Dick's
- "You look great. I was hardly able to walk at this point."
Just venting. I try to remind myself that this is my last pregnancy and I should enjoy every moment. Soon, it will be over and I won't have the joy of feeling a baby stretch in my womb or rub my palm across a cute little bum. I won't be okay with my husband playing with my belly button. And I certainly won't want my children to lift my shirt up and kiss my belly. I just have to learn to shut out comments that irk me in the next two weeks. Maybe I should just stay inside until then.
Anyway-
Here I am...full term.
Feel free to leave a comment...but hopefully, after reading this post, you will refrain from negative comments about my size. Every woman is different..as is every pregnancy and every child.
Right now, I'm dilated 1 1/2 cm and baby is head down, ready to go. I'll keep you posted!
Side note-- I hosted a Thirty-One open house on Sunday because it's our annual Thermal Tote sale. I'm planning to close it on Wednesday so if you're interested in buying a tote, you still have time. Go to www.mythirtyone.com/bethhunt to order. I'm so close to have a $500 party and would appreciate any extra orders to up my hostess benefits!

I'm so excited to see pics of this little guy and hear your stories about being a mom to a boy. Hugs to you, Mindy and Bill and the boys.
Glad I`m not the only one getting comments that upset me. I get "you`re not very big" all the time. And "you`re lucky you`re belly is so small". It makes me feel like they are implying I`m not the "right" amount pregnant, if that makes sense. So I have a long torso. My doc says my uterus measures exactly perfect, and at my last sono, the baby measured exactly what she should. So I totally understand sensitivity to comments about size. You know what I went through last time, so I am just thankful to be past the point Emily was born at. But comments do hurt. We`re emotional already! I hope you enjoy your last couple of weeks & good luck with the delivery!
I think that you are absolutely beautiful. Enjoy every moment.
