Do you ever get that feeling? You know, the one that is kind of deep inside of you, at the pit of your stomach that makes you feel unsure of things? I've been getting that feeling off and on lately...for fleeting moments at a time. Maybe it is a bit of anxiety...especially with so many new changes about to happen...exciting changes but also somewhat daunting. Anyways, just wondering if anyone else out there ever gets this feeling as well?
I'm 37 weeks along and I'll tell you...it is hard to be big like this. Everything takes me so much more time and so much more effort. We don't have a bath so instead of living like a gorilla I shave my legs in the shower (which is not the easiest even with having a normal body)....now it is so much harder with my girth and I find that I miss many places. Cleaning and vaccuming is harder too...basically moving and bending is hard. I miss my old body. I mean, I'm happy to be having this baby and I'm excited for he/she to be coming...but I miss being able to move freely. I miss bike riding and feeling the wind in my hair. I miss going for long walks (hard to do with the elephant ankles) and hiking. I hope that I get my old body back...or at least get to a point where I am fit and can wear my normal clothes again. I hope so.

wow you are being such a great blogger. i'm impressed, man. as to the girth--i feel for ya man. i could just picture the difficulties in shaving the ol' gams in the shower.
i assure you-- i can relate!! i think you are feeling anxious like i always do in the final weeks before my babies were due. normal. it's a lot of change, you're right. and especially since your last month is by far the hardest, in my opinion. no worries about your body. it will come back to normal over time; good thing babies are so worth it. otherwise... good luck! you haven't found out what you're having? lots of big surprises then, for you two! fun!
