Oh my glob I read all 40 pages!!!
And I'm super excited by how many Chazzers are preggers! Especially since a lot of us are in non-traditional situations (not married)... we can vent to each other. Is it me or does it seem like TONS of people are pregnant right now? Is something actually in the water or what?
I'm 34 weeks! I can't believe how fast it's gone by. I can't believe I'm going to see my little dude in a month. My bump is still really small, but my GOD, he's getting big!!! He's around 5 lbs now, kicking me, doing backflips, and gangnam style dancing inside of me day and night. The past week it has gotten so difficult to sleep, with him moving every time I change positions, contractions and cramps. Here's a picture of Kai at 32 weeks. He looks so much like his Dad! I swear they have the same profile.
Ever since Frank got shot my blood pressure has been higher than normal. My doctor put me on blood pressure meds and I have to go to the doctor 3 times a week for check-ups and testing, and test my blood pressure twice a day, until I give birth. -_- My pregnancy was going really smoothly until all of that. But I definitely don't want to risk preeclampsia or anything. I just feel so bad that my stress could hurt my baby. Things have gotten a lot less stressful and Frank is doing much better.
Look I said I was sorry for being insensitive ok? Geeze it's you guys who won't forget it, we'll I forget it, I'm done.
We all put our foot in our mouths at some point. You just have to be mature and admit that you said something dumb, and people will gladly let it go.
The reason I find your statement dumb isn't the part about pregnant women looking miserable... it's true, growing a human being inside of you isn't easy!!! Especially in the last trimester, which is when you really notice that some one is pregnant. It's the fact that you say afterwards they don't look much better. REALLY. Do you realize that 90% of grown women that you see on the street have had at least one child? Do all of them look disgusting to you?
Being pregnant isn't terrible for everyone. I'm 8 months pregnant and no one even notices until I tell them. I still get hit on daily by creeps who have no idea I'm pregnant. I do have a little bump, but nothing that impairs me or makes me waddle around. Different people of different body types and heights handle pregnancy in different ways, and most women bounce back within a month. I used to think I could never handle being pregnant... but that was when I was immature, and cared too much about what other people thought of my appearance. Once you grow up, you realize how precious life is and how measly a sacrifice 9 months is to create a baby. Which really is a MIRACLE.
