Being really pregnant is just no fun. But when I start feeling a little overwhelmed, I remember that my Mom understands what I am going through -- and not just because she's been pregnant before -- but because she shares right now some of my most uncomfortable symptoms.
Weight Gain: Frustrated by that added weight in the middle? Worried that it is working its way down for a nice long stay on the thighs? Well, ditto for her.
Sleep: Can't sleep? Waking up in the middle of the night and just tossing and turning until sleep blissfully returns? Watching QVC for the first time ever. Well, ditto for her.
Hair: Confused by all the changes? Remember how hair used to be obedient and full? Well, ditto for her.
Bladder: Have to go to the bathroom what seems like every 30 minutes? Yeppers. Ditto for her.
So, there's good and bad news here. The good news is that the baby will be here in a few weeks. The bad news is all of these symptoms will be seeing me again, sooner than I would like.

When I was pregnant I couldn't help but look around at all the men who had bigger stomachs than mine! I knew mine was going away . . . but theirs? Nope, staying!
Ha ha, I never really thought of those comparisons...funny, and a little troubling :)
As I gradually decline into my new era of life let me just say I am not going down with out a fight!!!
