ever widening

My third trimester has finally hit me.

I feel as though my hips have spread 2 inches overnight, throwing my lower back into convulsions. You can see it too, up until now I was holding all the baby out in front, now you can tell my hips are widening.

My favorite thing to do is sleep, though only for a few hours. Trying to sleep overnight is painful. This makes my afternoon naps ever more necessary. (Since Maja has decided to try the one nap a day method...)

And worse of all, I have started to retain water. Gaining 4 lbs in a week is not my idea of fun.

Ahh, the joys. I was wondering if you would like Maja to come over to play sometime. We would love to have her for a little while and you can rest.

Aww, Sue, I'm sorry. Hang in there! "If it's worse, it's a sign it's nearly over" (My Fair Lady).

Oh, the joys of the second pregnancy. It seems like everything happens sooner. Keep drinking lots of water! Love you!
