We decided on a name (we think)

[tramaddi]

We have gotten tired of fighting over Dayton Ivan Market (spells DIM, his choice) and Mason Ivan Market (my choice, he thinks it sounds like a concrete factory) and thought Nathan Ivan Market sounds perfectly reasonable.  Not as fancy but we think Jaxon might be too fancy for us:) We also like the nickname Nate......soooo.  H is just releived to be done discussing it..me too.  On the other hand I am so huge my belly touches my stereing wheel, all sex has ceased cuz I feel like he is hiking up mnt everest and as mt everest I don't feel to sexy, I feel like that big woman on Norbit.  I broke down and bought a body pillow whom I named "Bob"  so now I sleep safe and sound between H and Bob....and too many cats.  I recently had a bad string of luck some one smashed into my car and drove offf and I have a leak under my house that has caused my floor to ripple!!  But I did go on my trip to visit my sister and luckily the Hilton came equiped w/ many, many pillows.  Altho I am looking frwd to the blessed occasion I also fear the exhaustion. W/ my dd I felt like a holocaust survivor I was soo tired and overwhelmed but hopefully this will be better.  DH is so excited course he has no idea since this is his first....hehe.  Anyhow, just thought I'd give an update from the planet that has become my belly:)

on another note I reccently began to feel like a really BIG girl (the type w/ crevices they can't quite reach) and even tho I shower regularly I still smell sweat (course I smell everything others cannot detect) and am having this icky dischage which isn't really unusual just yucky but I find that pantyliners and FDS spray have cured the problem.  I was thinking of inventing those big body wipes for big women who fell not soo fresh....hmmmm  I can't beleive I have to lift my booobs up to dry under neath them...I don't recall doing that pre pg I once had a waist and looked ok..
Course now they (boobs) are a map of blue swollen, heated blood veins w/ nipples the size of the moon....

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling w/ hygiene I find the FDS spray works GREAT it stops the sweating and lasts all day.  That and the pantyliners I wish I had thought of that sooner:)  All I need to buy is nursing bras I think but the size is not the same as my old one soo....I guess I will have to try them on...Too bad Victorias Secret doesn't sell nursing bras...maybe they will still measure me tho. Not that I have any business in Victorias Secret (that's how I got in this condition:)  I think my boy is dropping cuz he is right on my bladder I go constantly too and not much comes out. I also this he flipped and his head is down.  I think I feel little fingers by my hip bones...awww

I was just thinking the same thing. Just couldnt put it so eloquently *sp*. My boobs were large prepregnancy, but I have found that they are their own continent now. I have found that putting some deodarant under them helps some because they tend to get sweaty under there and that causes my bra to chafe a bit. That is just too uncomfortable for words when it chafes and you can't take it off. At least not without everyone noticing. I have begun wondering how larger women get around their bellies to wipe when they go to the bathroom, which is quite a task that occurs very often now. I feel like a leaky faucet. My nose drips, my whoo-haw drips, my boobs drip, and when I pee all that comes out is a drip or two.

I feel all those things you are describing.. I feel like a "big girl" too.. Not that I was "thin" pre pregnancy, but I now feel like a Giant, veiney, stretchmarky- cow.. Ugh.. When is your due date again? I still have 7 weeks to go.. Ugh.
