So, I switched over to a blog b/c it's way easier than the last website to download pics and type what you want to say. So enjoy!
I also wanted to get some things off my abnormally large chest today b/c I read my last post and I had to laugh. "A little more tired than normal" is truly an understatement. Is it bad that I want to sleep for 20 of the 24 hours in a day? And then just eat for the other 4?
I think I have tried to be PC lately but it's time to get real about this whole 3rd trimester pregnancy business. Although there are many wonderful things about being pregnant and I have enjoyed being pregnant(aside from morning sickness) up until recently, there are also some not-so-wonderful things about pregnancy.....
Here are some observations I have made in the last month:
1) Shaving anywhere below the belly button has pretty much become well, guessing where the hairline starts and where it ends....and praying that it doesn't turn out to look like that time in 7th grade when you thought it would be a good idea to cut your own bangs the day before school pictures.
2) Becoming very familiar with new "friends" that have appeared all over your body such as spider veins, other larger and darker veins, fat pockets and strange bumps in places I can't see, only feel. I think I am going to start naming them.
3) No matter how many people look at you and say things like "OH, you're barely showing!" They are liars and cannot be trusted. Immediately threaten to show them your bare belly and backside and they will flee quickly and quietly.
4) No matter how much you enjoy shopping with your friends do not, I repeat, DO NOT go clothes shopping with your skinny cute friend, Janae and watch her fit perfectly into anything off the rack and then kid yourself into thinking you could wear the same thing (just in a bigger size). You will feel huge and cry in your car on the way home.
5) If they don't already, people will start to treat you like you are made of glass and if a stiff wind blows your way, you will spontaneously shatter into a million pieces. Yes, I can still drive my car, carry my purse and a grocery bag with chips in it and no, I don't need help walking into a building. I am "with child", not handicapped.
6) So I have these zits, well actually more like tumors growing in my face that no matter what I do, will not leave. I am truly starting to think that perhaps they also are tiny fetuses that somehow took a wrong turn on the way to my uterus and landed in my chin and I will have to give birth to them at some point as well. good times.
Ahh, I feel much better now that I let some of that out. Moms-I'm sure many of you can relate to a lot of this and if you can't well, I hate you. ;) I'm sure I will be blessed with some additional observations over the next couple of months so I will be sure to share those as well.
Thanks for reading~!

Your are absolutely beautiful and Alf is the luckiest man in the world! Keep your zit covered chin up and keep on pluckin away at those crazy stray hairs, and maybe one day those spidery veins will fade....because my sweet Amy, the best is yet to come! Oh and don't bother with the shaving below the belly button thing, those Dr.s and nurses have seen it all!! I love you and am so proud of how you are handling all of the wonderful challenges of pregnancy! I promise you won't even think about this stuff once he is here! You look in that mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are, you hear me!!
