…the more I realize that unless you know the person you’re judging, you just can’t. You can’t say anything about them as a person, them as part of a culture, them as anything. (Says the girl who judges celebrities and such constantly. I must stop this.)
Seriously though…I’m referring to this Privilege blog uproar people are talking about. There was one post...

Sat next to a woman in prenatal yoga today who claimed to be in her last trimester. She looked barely five months.

the mother fucking boppy
So sleep has eluded me most nights pretty much this whole pregnancy. I’ve never been one to get up in the middle of the night to pee or anything like that, and anyone who’s been pregnant (or who has listened to me bitch about it) knows that that ends once you’re carrying a little one who likes to press and punch and sit on your bladder. I also get real sore on either side from...

Dude, looks like a lady...
My belly has overridden my ability to sit comfortably at my desk. I can’t get close enough to be comfortable, and I can’t really lean forward……unless my legs are pretty much spread eagle on either side of my chair.

Sunshine Day
My whole life, since birth, I was a night person. I was born at 1:31am, I rarely slept at night (sorry mom), and throughout my childhood/teenage years, I would either read or watch tv well into the wee morning hours before going to sleep and waking up at whatever hour to do it all again. In and post-college, I rarely went to bed before 2, and almost never before 12 and, other than work days when i...

Repeats
So I got a pair of black maternity pants…they’re skinnies, not quite leggings, but not quite jeans. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable pair of maternity pants I’ve gotten.
Would it be bad if, say in a few weeks (or now) when I start to get really uncomfortable, I just wear them almost every day? I’ll wash them, of course, but you get the question…

You’ll be ok. Calm down. Besides, there’s nothing you can do about it now! It’s gonna happen, regardless of you freaking out about it.
True. I also have ten weeks to “prepare”. So. Yeah.
My mom had a 36 or something hour labor with my sister and supposedly during a particularly difficult...

Pretty much, YUS. I’m like those Muppets on Sesame Street.

Well, if I could go through this and end up with a kid half as awesome as Mini Sparks, I’ll be a very happy lady. So. There ya go.

Rosa’s liking all these posts which makes me think she’s sitting there, reading them, nodding and being like, yup. YUP. YUUUUP!

dude. i pray all day every day that this child just shoots out in three pushes. i can’t even think about the fire burning hell that would be the opposite scenario.
Though I think it’s a little scary to hope and wish for it, because if it doesn’t happen? Oh man.
Sigh…what will be will be, I suppose.

I just read about massaging my perineum in advance of labor so I don’t tear too much.
If I wasn’t at work right now, I’d be holding my nethers, trying to take the icky feelings away.

Inner monologue and subsequent results...
Paying for wears at various retailers…
Inner monologue: They’re gonna ask me for my email to put on their stupid email list that I’ve unsubscribed from a dozen times. Don’t give it to them. It’s just marketing. They don’t need it.
Person working at store: Great, now can I have your email so we can send you a receipt?
IM: It’s not for receipt purposes!!...

New Year.
So we had a wedding to go to on New Year’s, which I personally think is great. You know what you’re doing, where you’re going, and there’s good food and drinks and fun company! And this couple is particularly fun, so I knew it would be a good time.
Wardrobe was an issue, as I had bought an awesome dress to wear…….back in September. It was maternity, so I...

Leaving a couple, to return as a family...
Leaving NY this trip was especially bittersweet for me for so many reasons. First being that it will be my last visit there for at least six months or so. On the heels of that, I won’t see my sister or my dad again until this kid is born (mom’s coming in February…yay!). On the heels of THAT…this is the last time Jonny and I will be there, just us. Come less than 12 weeks...

Wait until she lands one in your ribs. Or right on your bladder. Those are a little less amazing.
Both have happened, my friend. Either just lodging the foot up by my right ribs (I can feel the thing from the outside!!) or punching on my nether regions. Some hits have actually taken my breath away! Haha! She’s definitely...

So, this kid is stubborn, in that she will never kick on demand. I’ll be all excited and tell Jonny or my mom or whoever to put their hand on my belly and she will immediately stop kicking. Little shit.
So we were having trouble getting my mom to feel her movements, which were seriously crazy over the weekend! She loved the party and was kicking like mad when everyone was there. (This may...

Did you coordinate sweaters on purpose? Because I think that’s better than a corsage!
We totes didn’t plan it, but it does make up for the lack of “prom” decor, doesn’t it?

This sums up my holiday pretty nicely:
I’ve seriously missed NY pizza.
I’ve lived in Chicago too long and have forgotten what a good NY bagel tastes like, because I bought some for my parents’ house from the “bad” bagel place and I thought they were pretty good bagels. Oops.
My parents hadn’t seen my belly since September and holy moly, it’s BIGGER....

There are so many posts of all of yours that I want to read, but I fear I will never get to them all. I’m hearting all of them in spirit.

Hi Jack, I'm Annette.......you're doing it wrong.
If anyone can name that reference, I’ll love you for life.
Ever feel like you’re just doing everything wrong? I’m a little off today in general, but I just got the results from my glucose screening, which was normal (yay! No gestational diabetes!), and I’m fairly iron deficient, so I need to start taking a supplement.
I understand this is pretty common in pregnancy, but...

For any of y’all out there who are pregnant or are hoping to be pregnant or just for future reference…
While it’s totally nice and helpful to get maternity clothing from friends/relatives who’ve been through it, unfortunately you cannot count on it…for many reasons.
Today’s reason: People just carry differently/have different bodies than you.

My lunch might as well be a big bowl of poop for as much as I can taste right now.
This cold is full on. And it ain’t stoppin’. I can barely breathe and I am without any sense of smell or taste.
