this baby growing inside me (ooh, gross) is moving around and making me uncomfortable. the kicking and punching from my insides has always been my least favorite part of the whole pregnancy thing. i'm not one of those "pregnancy is beautiful and i rub my tummy and i like it when my husband talks to my stomach and i take pictures of my pregnant belly with my other children kissing it" type people. no thank you. pregnancy is the means to an end. it makes me fat and awkward. i find it a bit embarrassing to be pregnant, if i'm being honest. so that is why i am so glad this is my last one. and it is my last one. no matter how cute he is, i will not be convinced to go down this road again . . .
fat with parker.
this was my first and i still had months to go . . . it got worse.
fat with macy. five days before she came.
i always think i shouldn't cut my hair so short when i'm pregnant, but i always do anyway.
i shouldn't.
really fat with oliver. and oh, those legs . . .
toward the end when i was going to the doctor every two weeks, i gained double digits three appointments in a row. that is no lie. in my defense, it was over the holidays. but wow. am i talented or what?
and this pregnancy? i have three more months to go and i've already gained 30 pounds. and at the beginning of this summer i was five pounds within my goal weight. five pounds! it was within my grasp! i had it at my fingertips! and then so quickly, it was taken away from me. far, far away from me. that's what pregnancy does for me.
but okay, it also did this. . .
. . . so i guess it's not all bad.
oh, and please don't leave comments telling me i "look fine", or how much weight you gained. i don't want to hear it. no offense. you know how it is.

I pretty much feel the same way; I really didn't get the warm fuzzies when I would feel my babies moving. And I don't think it matters so much how you look while you're pregnant, but how you look afterwards, and you always look awesome (I think you look good pregnant too, but you didn't want to hear that)!
Ha. Great post. I wish I was a lady that loved bing pregnant. Like we were talking about the other day, I now look at you pregnant girls and feel bad for you. and HAPpY for me! ha only a few more months and DONE for you. YOu lucky!
oh boo robin. i was going to get you a gift cert to one of those places that will make a mold of your giant pregnant belly & breasts. then you could proudly display your body on some roman-esque pedestal in your home.
(i was also going to post a link to this GREAT site i found that provides this service, but it was too horrible, even for a joke.)
thank thank thank you for writing this. i'm stuck in the reno airport for 4 hours and need entertainment. this was funny. and i'm glad you get pregnant cuz then i have cute nieces and nephews. thank you for that too!
those pictures are about as repulsive as when jacob black too his shirt off.
Well when I was pregnant...
Funny, Andrea feels the exact opposite about pregnancy. Ask her about it at church. Also, you look fine. Oh and did I ever tell you how much weight I gained on my mission in Puerto Rico?
I just quit setting goals! Although I do have a pair of size four jeans stalking me. I swear I donated them, but the keep cropping me up reminding me I can't wear them!
when is your due date again?! Are you coming back before that? I swear I am really sending you a care package!
wow, robn. you really are fat. there. do you feel better now?
ps. coming to new york. 12/26-1/2
haha! these comments are funny.
i don't know how it is. so i'll trust you on this one.
That is too funny Robin! I am totally the same way!! Everyone asked me to post pics of my "cute pregnant belly" and I refused! Let's just say I'm so happy to have that baby out of me! It is so not cute or fun to be pregnant and I want to hit all those who say it is. The only two pics of me being pregnant will never see the light of day! Good luck finishing up, I feel your pain!
