My daughter at 2am: -makes loud elephant noises, blows raspberries, randomly cries, throws her arms in the air and then lays them flat and completely still-
Me, finally fell asleep 15 minutes ago after pumping: …. Ma’am ….
Me complaining to my husband.
Me: How do people be this pregnant for the whole 40 weeks? 😭
Him: Most people don’t have almost 8 lbs babies at 36 weeks with high amniotic fluid. Literally all the weight you gained went straight to the baby.
Me: So I should blame you??
Him:

Whenever my boss goes looking for me, I’m almost always in the bathroom. Then she asks why I’m in the bathroom like I’m not eight months pregnant and drinking at least 80oz of water just while I’m work alone with what feels like a watermelon for a uterus.
Okay but is pregnancy not a wild and chaotic adventure??? In the same day I had a full on breakdown about not getting a cheeseburger and then washed dishes to Japanese metal bands.
