Some of you may be wondering what I look like these days (being only two weeks from my due date). I will relate two stories to you instead of posting a picture. The first story occurred on Monday of last week. We went to Sonic to have a cold drink and let Jesse play on the playground there. When the girl arrived to drop off my order, she handed me my change and asked if I was having twins. I said no, I'm just getting close to my due date. She just looked at me and said, "Oh, 'cause you look huge." And then she walked away. It kind of surprised me, because first of all, most people don't make comments like that to your face. And secondly, almost everyone else has been telling me how good I look this pregnancy. And thirdly, I have been measuring on track for this baby (Jesse measured 2 weeks big all through the third trimester) and I have only gained 4-6 lbs since I found out I was pregnant.
Okay, second story. Yesterday Mike, Jesse and I were getting out of the van to shop at WalMart. A girl in the car pulling out of a stall near us called out her window, "You look so cute pregnant. I was huge, but you look cute." I have no idea who this person was, or what possessed her to say I looked cute (I was wearing a baggy t-shirt, rolled up sweat pants, and hadn't showered that day!) But, both Mike and I found this extremely humorous, especially considering the previous incident.
So that may, or may not, help you have a better idea of what I look like these days. I'm actually feeling pretty good. A little sore (some from lifting boxes that were too heavy or carrying Jesse around, some just from being pregnant), occasional heartburn, but overall feeling pretty good considering how close to my due date I am. Even with that said, I am looking forward to having this baby and losing some of my extra girth. Every once in a while I forget about the basketball belly I have, will get to close to the stove and get a little warm; or I will walk into a counter; or Mike will forget and walk into me!
I see the doctor again on Monday afternoon, and will hopefully have some news to share then!
