I have the weirdest, roundest basketball belly ever.

34w6d

34w6d. 35 weeks tomorrow. I wish this baby would drop some because he is SO far up my ribcage it is not even funny. I am exhausted. Working is hard. Preschool drop-off/pick-up sandwiching working is harder. Running all the post-preschool errands and then making dinner and cleaning the house is damned near impossible. Tonight I was standing on a rickety folding chair to change the battery in the smoke alarm down in the basement and I thought I was going to fall to my big, round, death.

I am at the end of my rope.

You are adorable! Did you carry August that way? Oh, and please stay off rickety folding chairs!

The rickety folding chair seemed less dangerous than not having a working smoke alarm in the basement where the furnace, water heater, and gas dryer are. :)

August was equally round and "all belly" but was much lower. Her head was lodged in my pelvis from very, very early on. This one seems much higher, like around where my hips are instead of down low. On the plus side, I don't feel like he is going to fall out any second, don't feel him scratching my cervix with his fingernails, and don't feel like my pelvis is going to split in half - all of which I regularly felt with August.

I carried the same way with my boy and it was way harder than with my girl. That big old basketball makes it hard to breath! I remember that 8th month was hard, but 9 was strangely easier, I guess because he did drop some. Hope it gets easier for you too! You are so close!

Thanks! I would love to be able to take a nice, full breath someday. And get off the couch without a lot of effort. :)

Sorry things are rough for you up north. Would love to see you.

You look great! Here's the question though...has he kicked/punched you in the butthole?

Not in a really long time. Now he is just always trying to kick/claw/whatever his way out through my lungs.

Yeah I REALLY don't miss that part. It took 2-3 weeks for my lungs to start fully expanding again after Liam was born.

Well - the good news is (other than the belly) you look thin and trim! I know you're going through hard times, but at least you can say you look GOOD ;)

I was wondering how you were doing!! You look great- even if it probably doesn't feel too great. Lots of hugs!!! :-)
