Dad says he likes to get my pregnancy-related updates, so here are the three latest:
- It is no longer comfortable for me to bend at the waist to pick things up off the floor. I have to bend at the knees, or get all the way down, or hold on to something, and it’s…awkward.
- Summer finally arrived, so the combination of swelling because of the heat plus whatever swelling happens during pregnancy means that I can’t wear my rings anymore. They live on a chain now.
- Hm. I thought there was a third thing, but I can’t think of it right now and I swear to god I’m not trying to be funny about pregnancy brain.
John doesn’t remember, either, but maybe I didn’t say it out loud?

Don’t lay down on your back anywhere that you can’t roll onto your side. A friend of mine was once stuck between a chair and a couch for a couple of hours.

Dad
Strange, I totally get #1 and I’m not pregnant!
Momma Betty
And I totally get #3 and I’m not pregnant—pretty sure.
To Michelle above: that’s called “turtle syndrome”

Will we ever get to see a photo?

Oh my god, I’m a turtle. Margaret…maybe I’ll email you a picture. 🙂
