Sometimes...

I may have a slight waddle to my step - not as swift moving as in earlier weeks

My hips hurt in the night and I try to switch sleeping sides and they are still sore - must exercise more to loosen them up

I get VERY hungry and feel that I will not be able to satiate the growing babe but try my best to make healthy choices when the intense hunger comes on

I knock into things - not on purpose - like walls and door frames, out of nowhere

I have to hold on to the dresser or sit on the floor or a chair to put my socks on

I have to take a deep breath and mentally prepare myself to go from squatting on the floor (to pick up a book off of a low shelf, or a piece of paper or a dropped pencil) to standing again

I thought I felt rotund a few weeks ago - but it has reached a new level this past week

And ALL of the time - I love our baby who is growing more and more everyday and I embrace my body for knowing how to nourish and care for him in ways that I never knew possible.
