Last week I joined Michael and his co-workers for lunch. One of them was mentioning his theory on pregnancy, "Women become so uncomfortable the last month that they'll do anything to push that baby out."

It seemed like a relatively humorous comment at the time but it has now become a reality for me. Almost like clockwork, 1 month before my due date I started to become very uncomfortable. It's as if I've completely run out of space for Baby G and she's left with no choice but to push on everything she can find. Who knows, maybe she thinks my ribs will eventually break or my pelvis will just move out of the way.

I guess this is why some people don't have any stretch marks until the very end of pregnancy. She's got a few weeks more to grow at a rate of .5lb/wk. That does not sound very promising for any thoughts of getting more comfortable before she arrives.

On the bright side of all this, it seems like I have a strong, determined little girl.
