The Update

I have truly enjoyed my pregnancy thus far but...as my final trimester looms on the horizon, I can see why they say the second trimester is great and by the third you'll probably be uncomfortable. Oh yes, I can see it coming. It is already becoming increasingly difficult to bend over. I will soon be totally ignoring things like untied shoes or anything that falls off my desk. I also feel like I have to pee about 87% of the time. Then you go and it's just a few drops. It would almost be easier to start diapering myself (and hey, good practice, right?).

I still feel great though, considering, and am getting bigger and feeling her moving around. She has definitely given me a sweet tooth. I want dessert after every meal and I especially want ice cream. I was never a big ice cream person before but now I could eat it every day. And oh my gosh...I am totally addicted to the Chick-fil-a peach milkshake. I read online that they will only be offering these until sometime in June and I am just not sure how I will handle the last few weeks of my pregnancy without them. I am writing corporate and urge you to do the same if you have also sampled this summer-y deliciousness!

My main gripe still is people constantly telling me how huge I am. I do not understand why this is okay to do just because I am pregnant. The UPS guy yesterday incredulously asked me if I was having twins when he found out I'm just 27 weeks along and let me say that I could easily have asked him the same thing. People, please do not antagonize us pg ladies by telling us how enormous we are or pointing out things that have clearly occurred to us like the fact that yes, it will be very hot in July when I am at my most rotund! I get it... I will be one big, sweaty pig by the time this is all said and done.

And speaking of pigs...here is a pic of me with some bacon at the CRG roller derby this past Sunday:
