HAPPY 3RD TRIMESTER!!




I can not tell you how many pictures it took before I finally realized it wasn't the camera making my head look so small on such a large body, that's just the way I am now.  Oh well, Zachary will be here soon enough and then I have a whole other post-pregnancy body to look forward to!  As the title of this post indicates, we have entered the glorious 3rd trimester.  I can't tell you how exciting it is to be here after all the positive words of encouragement from other mommies.  Phrases like, "I was so miserable..." and "Wait until the 3rd trimester I was so uncomfortable" or "I never slept in the 3rd trimester".  Books were not very encouraging either.  I'll spare you the gross and miserable details they warned about.  Basically, I get to look forward to stuff coming out of every orafes of my body. Yaa...  But seriously, I'm doing great, feeling great, I'm sleeping well enough, and Tommy and I are super duper excited to meet this little boy!


There's not much more to report on.  Just a few thoughts have come my way that I might as well share.  Also, soon enough, I will be setting up a post that will be extremely political and try as I might, it probably won't be funny.  So I apologize to you my devoted 1 fan (if that) and if you choose to skip it altogether, I am not offended.

Some thoughts:
  •  So I hate taking pictures now because everytime I look at them I think, "Woah! my face is fat!" Which is confusing because when I look in the mirror, it still looks good.  Therefore I avoid pictures because I love living in blissful denial.
  • I looked in the mirror one day and realized, I had lost my collar bones.  Obviously they're still there but they're hiding and it's weird looking.
  • I keep wanting to write a post about how awesome Tommy is but then I'm shy and am not good about sharing my feelings to other people.  But as soon as I voiced this to Tommy our super awesome friend Britany did the same thing and I laughed because she's a better wife than I am.  So that will probably happen soon, but I also don't want to be a copy cat so... miss you Britany!!
  • I asked my doctor if I was doing okay on weight gain (not too much or too little) and he said, "Yeah you're doing good.  Why? Are you eating a lot of junky foods like soda (only a half mug each day), ice cream (like a true May family member), chips (um...maybe...)  So now I just crave those things all the time and only once in a while I give in. Don't worry, I wasn't eating it all the time just a lot more than usual, especially when I never had soda, ice cream, or chips that much before.  
  • My friend happened to mention french silk blizzards at Dairy Queen and I may have had to give in after only 4 days of good behavior
  • I'm thoroughly embarassed for the Emmys.  To have never awarded Steve Carrell for his work for the Office or Hugh Laurie for House is just terrible.  That's just beyond ridiculous.  Also, nothing against Modern Family, but it's not the smart humor that takes true talent to create! And what about Amy Pohler?! Can you think of any other women that have single handedly carried a t.v show and made it the success it is today? Oh yeah, Tina Fey, and they honored her in the way she deserved. 
  • My sister asked me the other day if I have experienced the crazy nesting urges that accompany pregnancy.  My response, "sure I've thought about it, but then I think about how tired I am and decide to watch a movie instead"
  • I was all prepared for an epidural and then I read about how they're administered and the details and I seriously thought, "Maybe...I could give birth naturally" I seriously must be going insane.
Well that's all for now.  I expected this to be a short blip and now it's half a novel. Sorry about that.

  1. You make me laugh. I don't mind if you copy me, btw. I think Tommy is pretty awesome, so if you write a post about him I won't mock at all. In case you were wondering, reading about an epidural is actually worse than the epidural itself. By the time you get one you're in so much pain from contractions that you're begging for it. They numb you before they put it in, so you don't feel it at all. It's actually pretty cool. All the sudden your toes get tingly and numb and then you can't move your legs. And then, oh happy day, you watch the monitor and notice you're having a contraction and you can't feel it! My anesthesiologist was my best friend.

    I'm glad you're almost done! Yay! Hopefully your third trimester isn't as bad as everyone (me) was saying. I just know that like the last month was hell on earth for me, but up until that point I was totally fine.

    p.s. you're adorable. So, don't avoid pictures.
