A New Cult

35 weeks...coming soon!

My belly is in full force now! I can barely move around, it's so huge! I'm tiny and the belly is huge, not a good combination. Sleeping is difficult. I just can't seem to find a comfy spot. Walking is difficult, I just can't seem to maneuver around. Driving is difficult. I can barely fit now behind the wheel. Breathing is difficult. I get out of breath sooner than you can say it! Everything is just a bit more difficult!

I'm so used to this belly of mine now that I've forgotten what its like without it. How I moved before, freely and quickly. How I got up before, easily. It's a distant memory now. I remember I was a fast walker, a tiny, fast walker. I moved a lot, if I wasn't walking, I was running, or I was dancing, I just remember I kept active. Now, I'm slower than a snail on wheels. I really can't remember what it was actually like to just move around without needing to adjust to a protruding belly! I mean I have visceral memories, but not actual, real recollections of how I used to be. Very odd.

I'm telling ya, pregnancy, motherhood, you're joining a new sisterhood, a new CULT.

It's diffiCULT...but I hear it's all worth it.
