With the princess we never got to 38 weeks so this is a whole new experience for me. So, in celebration of my last week of pregnancy since my induction is in 5 days here is a list of things that I had no idea 38 weeks of pregnancy could feel like.

• I never knew how far a pregnant tummy could really stick out without causing me to fall over
• I never knew that stretch marks could get their own stretch marks. Swimsuit season is over permanently from here on out.
• I never knew what the end of pregnancy glow was. I know now, it is sweat.
• I never knew that wouldn’t care if I passed gas in front of you. Seriously, I can’t help it and I remain thankful that it was just that and not more.
• I never knew that your stomach actually lands somewhere inbetween your boobs during pregnancy. If this kid doesn’t come out with some hair, the heartburn old wives tail is a complete myth. I can’t eat anything without heartburn despite being on prescription meds.
• I never knew that despite being the most uncomfortable one could imagine that I already know that I am going to miss this monstrosity of a belly and having this baby all to myself. Soon he will be out of my womb and into the world where I will have to share him so despite how done I am with being preggers, I hope to look back at this time fondly and hopefully the aches and pains will drift into ancient memories.
