I am sausaged into my swimsuit at 29 weeks.
My mother wanted to start doing aquafit and I thought it would be a good pregger-workout, after all I bought 10 passes months ago. The one thing I neglected to think about was the swimsuit. My Speedo fit with Harrison so I thought I could squeeze myself into it again, NOT! I wiggled it over my thighs, pleaded with my breast to stay in and barely attached the clip at the back.
It is so true no two pregnancies are alike. My two pregnancies are exactly a year apart. Both the seasons and holidays are reminders of the last time which makes it easy to compare the two.
At 23 weeks I had just started wearing maternity clothes, this time I was not even out of the stretch pants when we discovered I was pregnant. I have just gone up a size!
At 7 months strangers had started noticing I was pregnant, this time I waddle. I am the same size around today as I was at 40 weeks and the same weight as delivery.
Harrison was a physically easy pregnancy. I suffered through 16 to 20 weeks of morning sickness but my body did not suffer from heartburn, stretch marks, hemorrhoids, and varicose veins. This time nothing has been spared.
Regardless of all the unease she is doing to my body I am happy to play host! I enjoy watching her move about in my belly, her constant kicks and turns are reassuring and her startled reactions to Dad's TV shows make me laugh.
Well I am off to aquasize; I hope the water makes the swimsuit stretch out!
My friend said early on her pregnancy "I know this is a girl, as only a girl would put her mother through so much discomfort"
