What does a 5ft 2inch woman look like when carrying an 8lb baby?

Like zis...

38wks 002

How does a 5ft 2inch woman FEEL when carrying an 8lb baby?
  • Feet hurt after just a couple of minutes standing
  • Walking more than a block is out of the question
  • Walking faster than a tortoise is out of the question
  • Hands hurt, like I've been doing major yoga handstands for 12 hours a day
  • Lower abs constantly hurt
  • Hips clicking and hip flexors sore/tight
  • Baby bopping bladder feels like knives in her woowoo
  • Constantly needing to pee (3x in 20 mins is the current record)
  • Belly button feels like end of overstuffed sausage
  • Right side of belly bruised from inside out from baby kicks
  • Completely useless around the house - each chore requires a rest before beginning the next (bring on maid visit #2 next week!)
  • Bored and frustrated because getting out and about aint so easy any more
  • Concerned that all those cute newborn outfits will be immediately obsolete
  • Exhausted
  • Extremely thankful that she has a fantastic husband who looks after her and doesn't groan each time she whines about being pregnant
