Getting bigger...

Yeah, I'm talking about me. Just in the last week, I have gotten such a belly. I'm really going to start blowing up. I'm getting to the point where it's pretty hard to wear my clothes. Pregnancy clothes are looking more and more inviting, some I'm already wearing, and most of my "normal" clothes went into bins a long time ago. Pretty soon, there will only be maternity clothes on my closet rack, very soon! After the Ultrasound ladies' comments on how big and good sized and long Phoenix is, I'm a little scared of getting huge or having a big baby, or even worse...a C section! It's all kind of exciting and let's face it, it's not really going to be a surprise if I have some big kids...look at Sharrid. But I'm telling you, Marcelus was 7 pounds 21 in. long, pretty normal right...well he really did a number on me. My tailbone was bruised real badly. It took a whole year for me not to really feel it anymore. I just don't want to break it. I know that that happens to some women, it happened to my aunt. I know that I need to lay down instead of sit down more this pregnancy, but it's so much easier said than done. Another thing is that Marcelus really weakened my bladder, and it took months for it to strengthen back up. My body doesn't seem really well abled to have a big kid, let alone a normal sized one. I hope they keep a close eye on me and take him if he gets too big. I want at least 4 kids, and more than that if I haven't had a girl yet. One thing I know is that I can't have back to back pregnancies...that would be asking for it! I've got to really let my body recoop good. I'm ok with that. Anyway enough boring ranting about this pregnancy, but I was astounded at how big I've gotten in just one week. Sharrid noticed too as he is gone one week at a time. I said it was a big difference. We'll see how big I grow this week. I need to start taking pictures of me through this pregnancy, or someone does. I'll have Shar take some and post them within a couple weeks...

It doesn't help to have a humongous husband and you be the tiny one. Sharrid should be having the kids! This will all make you grateful for the kids that you do get to have though. Hang in there honey.

I can't imagine you big at all. Anywhere.
