I can't help it! I get my feelings hurt when I'm not included in a reference to those who are expecting. Yeah, I know it's not the same as a nice round pregnant belly that calls for attention but my heart is feeling pretty plump these days...
like it's gonna burst...
an explosive rupture from the pressurized fullness of what's been growing inside for what seems like forever!
There is movement and kicking, achiness and discomfort, and brief moments of panic about what is to come...
there is impatience and craving; there is daydreaming about this mystery child, and sudden unexpected fits of crying that I can't always explain.
I am claiming my right to this group, damn it. That's how I feel today. Tomorrow may be different.
Right now I am grouchy from being overdue. I'm not talking weeks overdue, people. I'm talking MONTHS overdue - and I very likely have an unknown number of months to go. So don't mess with me. I'm giving birth to a toddler!! Maybe TWO! Let's see you real pregnant women do that!

xo, you vent, girl. I've always thought you had elephantine patience for your longer-than-elephantine gestation...
The end will come. This, too, shall pass! I'm excited for you! Here is me rubbing your belly:

and commenting about how FAT YOU ARE:

let's hope you do. It would be double the reward for all that patient waiting.

I like the ticker and I feel like you've been waiting forever so my dear, I hope you pop soon!!! I feel like we've been waiting for `the call' from you for a reeeeeeeeeeeally long time.
You are awesome. Can't wait!!!
Well, hello there, PREGO. My pregnant coworker doesn't like it when I call her that. You have been "expecting" for a very long time. And it's been the same amount of time that I've been expecting a new grandbaby(s). I am dying to go shopping!!!!!!!!!! But we still don't know .... boy or girl, one or two, infant or toddler???? I can't wait for "the call"!!!!!!!!!!!! But daily, I thank God that I know that HE knows and in Him I can rest, while we wait. Hang in there mama Jen. Someday this will be a vaque memory. Or maybe not.
Love y'all tons!!!!
Mama
Thanks you guys! It got lots of big warm fuzzies from your comments. It was the acknowledgment I needed.
And mom, I'm glad we are experiencing these post-term aches and pains together! I can always count on you to commiserate with me as we wait for babies. Loveyou!
