April, I loved this. What a great description of how it feels to be
pregnant! Your specificity, metaphors, and similes are brilliant. I
especially like: "My chest is a road map of blue veins that drive into
dark areolas." I love this imagery: "I wish I could pop my legs off
and reattach them like I used to do to my Barbie dolls.
Sleeping
on your side with pillows propped, especially between your knees and
then having to get up to pee and then rearranging them again. No
alcohol, not even a Tylenol. Suffering through a cold with no
medication to alleviate symptoms. All for the love of Baby-to-be.
Although my Baby-to-be is now 31 years old, it seems like only
yesterday.
Thanks for the comment Beverly! I think we have to suffer in silence a lot and I said to hell with it. This is some..not even close to all...the symptoms I have, but I thought if I told the whole truth no girl would want to get pregnant after reading it lol. The only upside this time is I don't care if I sound like a wimp - I ask for LOTS of help from eveyone who lives in my house. :)
