This.
It's not quite a football, but it's certainly....um....swollen. More of a croissant perhaps.
*thanks to Marie-Ève for sending me to the above post. Do you read Marie-Ève? You should. She's wise and witty and she writes proper posts (particularly about pregnancy and motherhood) that you know, have more than one sentence and provoke thoughts and teach you stuff. As opposed to just sharing fun facts about nipple texture and engorged vaginas. She's also expecting a little girl in just a few weeks, a little girl to join her little boy LP (which doesn't stand for Little Person by the way) and has been, along with Cate, my pregnancy guru and hand holder.** yes, I'm still here and I'm still pregnant. And still really quite pissed off about that. Last week I thought I might be having babies but it turned out I was having a kidney infection instead.IMAGE BY LOUVECIENNES
I thought you were away having the babies too! Thanks for the links to your lovely friends - just what I needed
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, being preggo is just one huge fucking ball of fun. Just as you think you can't get anymore physically unattractive, your fanjita feels like it's going to fall off. It won't though :^)
ReplyDeleteoh my god, i just laughed so hard. i apologize if i should not have done that. but really, it looks like a football?? wow, fun times.
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear you had a kidney infection. i hope it's clearing up and you're managing to remain somewhat comfortable in your last days of pregnancy. eat lots of croissants.
I feel you!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can ever look at a croissant the same way again.
ReplyDeleteI find the croissant reassuring. So thank you for that.
ReplyDeletehmmm... i think i have more of a football. maybe it's a darker complexion vs. lighter complexion thing?
ReplyDeleteHow funny.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that the football post has been put to good use.
Thank you for the link :)
Oh my gosh, what a story! I died laughing.
ReplyDeleteYour babes will come soon. Sending positive thoughts. Hope the kidney issue is gone too.
Oh, too much! All these things I didn't know about pregnancy. And football/croissant either/either both are slightly mind-boggling to me...
ReplyDeleteI REFUSE TO READ THAT FOOTBALL THING SO DON'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE ME
ReplyDeleteI just skimmed it and I have been SCARRED FOREVER.
ReplyDeletethanks.
Only days now!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much. You're the best. I so wish I was in Scotland right now to hug you in the most gigantic belly face-off the world has ever seen.
I am way past the point of baby makin'.....done my time, so to speak....here's the thing....at some point, it just doesn't matter what it looks like, really.
ReplyDeleteLove the crack about the bathing suit though...smiles.
this makes me very sad.
ReplyDeleteyep- totally thought you were having babies too! i'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I read that post. Who knoew? certainly not me!
