so, many people talk of the beauty of pregnancy and i have seen my share of beautiful pregnant people but what i feel like people are forgetting about are the ways that pregnancy has for humbling a woman to doing some of the most degrading things imaginable...i was thinking just the other day of the many ways i have compromised my "beauty" in order to house this little one and i just laughed in spite of myself...1. i have, on more than one occasion, realized that i have forgotten to brush my hair as i pull my car into the parking lot of the school...
2. on one such occasion i was reduced to using a tiny barbie brush found crammed between crusty backseat of my car to straighten my coif....
3. i have had to ask my husband to buckle my shoes...
4. i have worked an entire day without having my shoes buckled because i just couldn't bring myself to bend over and buckle them myself...
5. i have worn pants to bed and thought to myself, "these pants are so comfortable i wish i could wear them to work" and then i wore them to work...
6. i have worked entire days without having my pants buttoned....or zipped.
7. i drop things and just stare as they float or drop to the ground below...
8. i have really, really mean thoughts about the large amounts of people that think that it is okay to make reference to my ever expanding body...
9. i stay in the bed or on the couch until kyle walks by and i can beg him to help pull me up...
10. i sleep and eat more often than any baby, or NFL football player for that matter, should ever think to sleep or eat...
never before would i allow most of the things on this list to happen...well maybe number 8 happens more often than it should...but still, all of this and people still call pregnancy "beautiful"???
