bigger is better

These are my toes.
It's getting really uncomfortable to get to them, so my sweet niece Lauren does them for me.
It's one of those little things that make me smile a lot.

Here's your future family, kiddo.
We went out exploring today.
When I saw this picture I laughed.
We look so young.
I look so pregnant.
But bigger is better and our family will be so much better when you get here.

the good, the bad, and the ugly

THE GOOD: I am days away from "officially" being in my third trimester, but who's counting right? I realized yesterday that in three months it's very likely I will have Lil Lucky kicking me from the outside instead of the inside. Also good: I am feeling pretty good. I have energy! Not a ton, but enough.

THE BAD: I am feeling a bit sick again and it's mostly at night. I also have a hard time doing simple things, like getting in the jeep, lifting my leg to get dressed, and holding Mason very long. I'll admit I'm a bit envious of women who feel great when pregnant. I just don't. But I've learned to appreciate my normal healthy body when it's over.

THE UGLY: I busted out the maternity pants yesterday. They are barely tolerable but I've started running out of options. I'm considering starting my own clothing line of maternity clothes that aren't horrible. It doesn't seem like so much to ask..
