Discomfort
Okay, it’s finally happening. I’m starting to get a little bit uncomfortable now and then with this big ol’ tummy. (I begin my third trimester Saturday.) I tend to sit kind of slouched forward and that pushes my belly right into my ribs and apparently my stomach. I have to sit straight up (or lie down) to give myself some room – especially after a meal! I’m starting to realize the weight I’m carrying too. It has taken the first two trimesters but I’m finally feeling pregnant – and when people meet me they look at my belly. (Tanzanians don’t talk about pregnancy so they wouldn’t ask me anything about it – but they do notice.) I think I’m also developing a bit of a waddle but I don’t think I walk like that all the time. My belly button is all bandaged up because it’s out in all its glory and gets sore from rubbing against my shirt. Sometimes I even hit it on things. Sheesh.
Otherwise I still feel good overall. I’m enjoying pregnancy and feeling the baby move a lot. Jonathan will take one more tummy picture of me a week before we leave. Then we’ll continue them after we get to the U.S. All the previous tummy pictures can be found on his blog.
