I love my Biskit, I love feeling her move and gambol about, and I cannot wait to meet her.
But.
PREGNANCY SUCKS AND I AM SO OVER IT.
I have a strong suspicion that I have symphisis pubis dysfunction. I’ve been walking like a cripple for weeks now, and complaining about horrid pain in my pelvis for at least two months. It’s gotten to the point that I can’t turn over in bed without experiencing major, shattering-type pain in my pelvis and legs; can’t stand up to put my pants on (must sit down); can barely shave my legs because shaving requires standing on one foot; can’t sit or stand or do almost anything comfortably. IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS.
I wish I could feel more positive about being pregnant, but it’s damn hard when I’m in pain all the time. And then people make smartass comments about how I’m waddling or MUST be pregnant with twins, obviously, because I’m so big, and it’s all I can do to keep from snapping their heads off and tossing them in the gutter. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE. DO NOT FUCK WITH THE PREGNANT LADY.
I wish I were done already. I want to MEET Biskit and stop hauling her around inside my poor, broken pelvis.

Now I feel bad for all the wise-ass comments I made previously.
The thing is, when this is all over, you’ll say “oh, that? sure I’d do it again”.

You’re just lucky you haven’t made those comments in my vicinity, Phil. Seriously, if you had ANY idea how often I hear it, it’d blow your mind. I can’t fathom any other circumstance when people feel so free to make comments about your appearance to your face. I actually flipped the bird to someone in my office last week after he made what was the FOURTH comment about my waddle that very day to me. In retrospect, I proooooooooooobably shouldn’t have given him the finger, but hell. Like I said – do not mess with the pregnant lady!
And yes — the craziest thing is that I KNOW I’ll do this again!

I can say I feel your pain, not so much with the pelvis but with the sucking part.

And I feel YOUR pain with the sucking part — not so much the hospitalization.
Even though we wanted these children desperately and love them dearly, it still doesn’t take away from the suckitude of pregnancy.

Of course I am smarter than that, and would only do this hundreds of miles away.
At the risk of digging a deeper hole, I would always try to rationalize with my wife “it’s not like you swallowed a 12 lb turkey…it’s a human being growing in there! no one cares how big you are/aren’t.”
Of course you know I only say things out of love and/or for cheap laughs.

Yeah, I’ve tried that Phil, and it doesn’t work.

These are all things you use to hold over her head when she is a teenager.

I know.
I just thought if she heard it from an un-biased source, she might accept it as fact.
