I have come to the realization that I am going to feel about the size of a house from here on out. I haven't started the waddle yet, but I cannot imagine it is too far off. We no longer have a bump. We have a certified giant belly. This measurement is affirmed every time I see Trevor. It goes pretty much exactly like this:
Trevor: Jackie!
Me: Hey Trev! How are you?
Trevor: Good!.....Your belly is really big!
I suppose I can't fault him for stating the obvious. Because damn. Petite has never been a word used for my physical description, but it is getting laughed out of the house these days.
I am interested to see what my weight gain is at my next doctor's appointment. I don't own a scale so it is always like a game show when I have an appointment and step on the gynormous scale they have at the doctor's office. Seriously, I feel like cattle getting on that thing. At my 24 week appointment I had gained 10 pounds since the beginning of growing this kid. I feel like my stomach has gained about 32 more. And I still have just over 13 weeks to go!
The constant state of weird that is going on is just that. Weird. There is no possible way to feel like myself. I HAVE A HUMAN INSIDE OF ME. I wish there was a better way to explain this feeling, but that's all I have come up with so far. Strangely not myself. I don't feel depressed or anything like that, just different. I suppose the hormone cocktail coursing through my veins probably isn't helping matters much either.
You feel big now, just wait until the last month when you gain the most weight out of the whole 9 months. Just to make you feel better about it, ya know. Hehehe.
