Those of you who have been through it, you understand. You poor men out there... please just take pity on the woman who is slowly turning into a round blob beside you.
Bending... why does this hurt? I still have at least 3 more months to go and I already hate bending over to get the laundry, grab a pen, or feed the cat.
Eating... not sure why I can't stop. I have lost the "I'm full" filter and just keep making myself sick.
The baby moving... this is just weird. I mean really WEIRD. The first time I felt lil Ludlow, I was pretty sure it was just gas. A few days later, I couldn't get it to stop, and the "gas" flared up everytime I leaned forward to touch the floor in my work chair. As soon as it became something I didn't think I could stop I knew... There's my little boy! AND THEN, I felt him from the outside just a few weeks later. EW. Although I got nothing on me, it was the slimiest, grossest feeling. I already hate when people try to give me Eskimo kisses( put their cheek on you or next to yours and move their tongue inside their own mouth). It just bugs me. Ask Sean, he does it once a month if not more. Feeling lil Ludlow from the outside was just like that. I'm not sure if he was doing a roundhouse kick or what, but I felt something slimy glide by my fingers as I was pushing in, and it was nasty!
Now that he moves ALL the time, it is getting more normal. In fact my little ninja thinks he needs to move, wiggle, jab, whatever just about any time I'm sitting still. Apparently this means I have a very healthy baby.
Pants... zippers are pretty much useless at this stage. They have become one of those weird things that just don't work, and I'm constantly trying to cover them up with long shirts. I'm thinking it's time to succumb to pregnancy pants, but hate to pay for only 3 months of wear.
Motorcycling... I have to go take my skills test today. Hopefully they don't shun me off the parking lot for being 6 months pregnant and still riding my bike! Wish me luck!

I'm glad to see you're finally coming around to the pregnancy pants concept. Fork over the dough for one or two really comfortable pairs. It's worth it. And, everyone forgets to mention that you'll still be wearing them for a few weeks after the baby comes, too...so it'll be more than three months.
Glad you blogged again, I was just about to start pestering you on facebook.
I am sorry you thought it was so weird when he first moved i LOVE that feeling!!! One way to not buy pregnancy pants(if your pants still fit everywhere else but the waist) is to just buy some of the pregnancy band things they look like the top of the prego pants but can go over yours. You have to wear long shirts even with pregnancy pants so maybe just invest in longer shirts!!! I am so excited for you!!!
oh and if you can't find the bands, go to the fabric store get stretchy material and make your own!
Haha! That's funny that you're so grossed out by it. I guess it IS a little weird... but it's kind of fun too, no? I hope you're loving preggy pants. They're super comfy. It's like wearing yoga pants FULL-TIME! I have a hard time switching back after I give birth. And you still look so good, but don't worry - the filter will return someday when Baby Ludlow isn't syphoning off all your nutrients :)
