Forgetting I'm pregnant

I know that the subject line may seem hard to fathom for some people, but even though I am 37 weeks pregnant, and have never been this large in my life, there are times when I forget that I am pregnant.

Take this morning for example. The boys decided to go to the zoo for a couple hours to let mommy rest and to wear out Lukin before nap time. So, once they left, I found myself lying on the couch watching Gilmore Girls (because I have never seen the one where Lane gets married even though I am not really a Gilmore Girls follower), and when the show was over, I went to roll off the couch to go hop in the shower. And until I went to roll off the couch, it was like I had forgotten that I was pregnant. I was just curled up under my blankey, unaware of the huge protruding belly that was under the blanket.

I laughed to myself as I got up to waddle down to take a shower because, how does one forget that? I mean really.

Are you kidding me? It barely fit me by the end of the regular season. I was okay when they didn't win at the Final Five so that I could wear a shirt that actually fit over my belly for the Saturday night game! It would probably look really funny now.

Remember the orangey-pinky shirt that I got at Coldwater Creek the weekend of my birthday that you were trying to advise me not to get in case I got pregnant because it might not fit? Well, it still fits and I am going to wear it for an interview today. I think it still fits because it only has the one button in the middle and the bottom part is much more open now exposing much more pregnant belly underneath, but that's how it's supposed to be, even if it were a maternity shirt.

Sometimes I forget I'm fat. But then I eventually remember once I get dressed. "Ah, yes...hello jelly rolls."

Hahahahaha!!
