A Constructed Life

32 Weeks

Eight weeks to go, or, in other words, in about 2 months, I’ll be the mother of two children, which sounds more matronly than I ever expected to be.

I would like you to know that I purposely changed my clothing just for that photo. I think every belly shot taken during this pregnancy features me in pajamas of some kind, so I decided to document the fact that I actually wear real clothing. In the spirit of full disclosure, I will admit that before I changed, I was wearing a pair of Joey’s boxers, aka my pajamas, because they’re the only “shorts” that fit me right now. I opted to spare you that image. You are welcome.

I would also like to tell you that the checkout woman at the grocery store commented that I must be due any day now. I informed her that I had two months left to go. She then exclaimed, “It’s twins, isn’t it?” and then I threw a head of lettuce at her face. Rather than believing that I look big enough to be housing two babies, I’m instead telling myself that she just has no idea what a woman pregnant with twins looks like.

Also, the last time I posted a belly picture, I was feeling miserably uncomfortable. I’m happy to report that I am now feeling much better, but am still thrilled that I went ahead and purchased a bra for my belly, because I love it. It makes a huge difference on days when I’m on my feet a lot. So if you, too, look like you’re knocked up with two babies when there’s really only one in there, get yourself a belly bra. You deserve it.
