Week 36: Small Monster’s Revenge

35 weeks, 1 day.

I’m not entirely sure what Small Monster is trying to get revenge for, but it’s working very successfully.

In addition to the pelvic and foot pain I now feel at the end of every day – which, today, is worse than ever – Small Monster is now searching for new and incredibly uncomfortable positions within my belly and is pretty successful at it. I’m sure he’s just cramped (and if so, I suggest he think about coming out into the wide world in a week or so…), but sometimes it actually hurts, especially near my belly button.

And now, when he’s gaining something like half-an-ounce a day, the stretching of my belly really does hurt.

Yeah, I know – nothing compared to labor. But labor, see, that has an end. So too does this, but it’s weeks away, and I’m just wildly uncomfortable tonight.

And after three loads of laundry and other housecleaning/cooking, I’m also freakin’ tired.

Thank God I got ahead on NaNo yesterday, because I can’t see writing tonight…
