Feeling Huge!!

I'm very big and uncomfortable, now. Everyone who sees me asks "when is your due date again?", as if they can't believe I still have two months to go. My new stretch marks are already itching. Some of my smaller maternity tops have gotten too tight. Clumsiness has set in, and I bump my belly a lot because I forget how far it sticks out, and my center of gravity is off, making it easier for me to lose my balance. I have trouble getting up off the couch or out of bed, and never can get entirely comfortable in any position anymore. My hips feel loose, which means my legs aren't always exactly where I expect them to be. I can thank the hormone Relaxin for that, loosening all my joints in preparation for birth. In the meantime I try not to trip or kill myself, and I have to be careful trying to walk after sitting or lying in one position for too long. I see a chiropractor once a week, which helps, though I can't hold an adjustment for very long. It's difficult to pick up Eva, so I try to let her walk as much as I can, and go up and down the stairs on her own while at home. Now I usually just leave the safety gates open so she can follow me around. The baby's kicks are getting much more prominent, and sometimes I can tell from feeling a bump that it's an elbow or knee. If I'm really lucky, I'll feel little ridges suggestive of fingers or toes. It's amazing to think that my little baby is just under my fingertips, yet I can't touch or see her for another couple months. So close, and yet so far!
