Only three months to go now

Today I hit the 27 week mark and I am now in my third trimester. Yipee! According to babycentre.ca , I can look forward to more backache, leg cramps, heartburn and shortness of breath; awesome!

Ok, that's enough exclamation points for one post. Apparently I am going to "gain weight rapidly for the next couple weeks" too. What I am wondering at this point is, how the hell am I supposed to walk with all this extra weight? I've already gained 35-40 lbs (35 lbs as of my last check up - one month ago), so how much more am I going to gain, and how is my relatively small frame going to deal? To be quite honest, I'm not sure I want the answers to these questions. Dad, I may soon need loan of your "stay clear, I am maneuvering with difficulty" boat flag sweatshirt. Lord knows the ridership of the TTC needs a clue- how much more pregnant do I have to be until someone offers me their seat?

Enough of the griping though. Mommies who know tell me to try and enjoy being pregnant as I apparently will miss it when Junior arrives (mostly the peace and quiet I understand). I can see their point...I love the little kicks and stomach-reshaping turning the little guy does; it's pretty cool. In any case, the big day will be here before I know it, and all I will have to remember "the good old days" will be these posts :)

With that, I am off to inhale my celebratory chocolate chip muffin (damn Rabba hasn't had Chocolate Croissants in days- don't they know the baby NEEDS those to survive? Communists.)

If I'm wearing a tight shirt, I find TTC riders look anywhere but at me. I'm not at the point where I need a seat (I did during the first trimester). It's hilarious. They'd rather die than give up a seat. That being said. One woman did offer me a spot. I declined.
