Week 39, Day 1: Oh, things have changed.

Dear Junior,

You were good to me...up until 2 weeks ago.

I can no longer sleep on my side because it hurts the underside of my belly after several hours so I sleep on the wedge I purchased for your dad. So only my thoracic and lumbar spine hurts. Better me than maybe you. I'll take it.

I can't fit into yoga pants anymore so I'm stuck wearing tights and I never ever wear tights because of my big pelvic bone. Ugh.

My feet are swollen so I had to buy new shoes. My legs are bigger so my socks cut into my calf.

I poo 2x a day and eat a gazillion times a day because there is no enough room in my belly to fit you AND my organs.

Peeing is still ok due to the brilliants exercise of Kegels.

I have a new structure like a mini Smurf in my nether regions called a varicose vein. I almost cried at the site of it. Doctor said it will go away in a few weeks after you are born.

But all in all, I love you and you are absolutely, positively worth it. I finished my last day of work so I can rest up before your arrival. I can't wait to meet you.

Kisses,
Mom
