This is the view from above. Since I'm slowly resigning myself to the fact that my beloved 3 inch heels are a thing of the past (*sigh*) I went to buy a new pair of black flats today. But why? I realized that I haven't been able to see my feet for a few weeks now. One day in the not-so-far-off future, I might even leave my house wearing one shoe of each color and not even know. *Big faux-pas* I suppose I have a reasonable enough excuse but I'm trying so hard to be fashionably preggo. Thank God muumuu's are no longer in style. Nothing like wearing a glorified tent to make an already round woman feel even rounder.
Since the belly has popped, I have maybe cared a little less about shoes, for two primary reasons. 1) As mentioned above, I can't really admire my shoes without bending myself in half and 2) my lower back is absorbing the weight of my belly, which has in turn forced me to sport ballet flats or flip-flops. Pretty soon, I'll be at the point where I don't even care what's on my feet as long as I don't have cankles and I'm relatively comfortable.
Shoe shopping is less motivating and so is anything that requires me to bend over. *Feel free to let your imagination run free here.* Shaving my legs has turned into an olympic event in my bathtub. My body will just not bend that way anymore. My hair, however, continues to grow at an alarming rate, thus proving that God does have a sense of humor. For instance, the time I went to my OB's appointment, completely forgetting that he was going to be doing an internal exam....I won't even mention how many days had gone by since my last shave. I'm sure he had seen worse but I, on the other hand, was mortified. So I have officially reached the point in my pregnant state where I will only shave for special occasions. I get to determine what's "special" enough to require me to contort myself into a deformed pretzel in order to do away with hair in places I can't even see anymore. Out of (my) sight, out of mind right? ;-)
hahahaha!! i TOTALLY agree - my shaving has been reduced to if I'm gonna wear a skirt (never) or if I have a doctor's appt! omg, i was laughing so hard about you forgetting about your internal exam (sorry) only cuz that's my WORST nightmare!!
