33 weeks... what do I say? I feel huge, tired, achy, ugly, overwhelmed, anxious and just SO DONE with being pregnant. (Yes, I know it's only going to get worse over the next 7 weeks.)
But in reality, it's not that bad. I'm still able to go to the gym 4-5 times per week and do the elliptical for 45 minutes at a stretch. I still don't take naps during the day, although sometimes I wish I could! I can still put on my shoes and socks. It's not easy! But I can do it. My weight hasn't skyrocketed. But most importantly, Mara is doing fine. She finally flipped head down and dropped!
Last night after I took a shower I stood in front of the mirror, inspecting the purple-ish/pink-ish stretch marks spreading across my belly. Corky entered the bathroom and looked too.
"Well," I said. "At least they're a pretty color!"
It's good to know you still have your sense of humor :) I think you're in the superwoman minority still being able to exercise as much as you do. I can't nap during the day either, even if I haven't slept the night before, my body just won't let me.
