30 weeks and 3 days in. Only 9 and a half weeks left to go, right?
Please excuse my terrible posture, Nathan made me laugh just as he was taking the photo and I kinda threw my head forwards.
Ugh.
What to say about 30 weeks?
Has anyone else found that their fingernails grow twice as fast while they are pregnant? Seriously, what is up with that? I seem to be having to clip my talons every 2 weeks, rather than however often I used to do it before. Not as often as now though, I feel like every time I clip them, they need it again.
And let’s not talk about hair.
I’m all for my head hair growing twice as fast and twice as strong (or whatever happens) but seriously, everything else? Really? Do I need inch long pubes in order to give birth?
I think not.
And considering that I am having a hard time seeing anything below my belly button at the moment -where all my stretchmarks currently reside- how on earth am I meant to trim or shave my pubes? I’m not game enough to work blind with sharp implements down there.
So the hair growth? Feel free to slow down anytime now. I’m not sure Nathan really wants me to hand him the razor and say ‘go for it baby’ when things aren’t going to progress much past the shaving part. Poor boy.
On that note, how unfair is it that my libido seems to have returned? Just at the point where the actual logistics of getting laid are much more involved than the actual act?
Not fair at all. To either of us.
Leaky boobs. Oh the fun!
I had forgotten just how much FUN leaky boobs are.
I was examining my nipple the other day (as you do) making sure that everything was fine – I had cracks show up prior to Amy’s birth. Funnily enough, I didn’t get any after she was born, even though she spent all her time attached to my boob like a limpet – when, I squeezed a little too hard OBVIOUSLY and squirted myself in the eye.
Sure it would have been funny, if it wasn’t MY eye.
Plus, colostrum is much stickier than actual milk. I’m lucky that I had a sleeve handy or I might just have glued my eye shut.
[Wonder if I could glue Nathan’s shut the next time he pisses me off? Squirt him while he is sleeping and see what happens…]
Right, I think that’s just about everything covered. Fingernails, pubes, sex and breasts. Sound about right?
Hey, I never said I had any modesty left. At the end of all this I fully expect to push a baby out of my vagina and that isn’t exactly the kind of thing to lend itself to modesty.
So there.
Oh LOL that made me laugh!!
You look stunning!
You do look great- A real cliche but you do look like you are glowing.
hehe about the leaky boobs though, have never experienced it myself (although you have written enough to scare me a little) but hope it doesn`t continue to be a problem.
9 and a bit weeks to go- you can do it!
Lulus last blog post..Quitting…
Every time I see a pic of your belly I am amazed at how quickly it has gone!
Well for me anyway… 🙂
Kelleys last blog post..Dammit. I knew there was something missing from Boo’s party. And keeping with the tradition of freakishly long blog post titles, something about Christmas too.
Poor, poor, poor Nathan.
and snort…9 1/2 weeks…
Xbox4NappyRashs last blog post..Suitcase
You look gorgeous. My nails and hair always grow too fast when I’m up the duff too.
Pregnancy is very glamorous, I’ve always thought so. Hehe.
Alis last blog post..Having to let go a little bit
Yeah – pregnancy always gives me great hair, great nails, and great skin. Then the baby comes and my hair falls out in clumps, my nails all break, and my face turns spotty. Hardly fair! I just shaved blind at the end, very very carefully. I’m too much of a chicken to get waxed. I was always more worried about the hair on my face. There’s actually not that much of it, and what’s there is white blonde, but I usually way my upper lip because I like it hairless. Somehow though, when I was pregnant with the Princess, that particular grooming ritual got left behind for awhile….what with the puking 8 times a day every day for 27 weeks and all. Hubs actually said to me one night as I emerged, green sweaty and shaking from the loo, “Don’t you think you should do something about your moustache?”
I know. I’m surprised he’s still alive too.
But you? YOU look great. And the next 2 months are gonna FLY.
Badness Joness last blog post..Fight
ahem. WAX my upper lip.
Badness Joness last blog post..Fight
You look fantastic!
Yep, great nails, great hair and great skin for 40 weeks. Then WHAM all taken away again! Can’t say I noticed the pubes – leave all that to the woman in the waxing salon!
haha I loved to squeeze milk out of my boobs while I was pregnant! 😀
Looking good honey! xxx
Marylins last blog post..Guess what I spent my day off doing…
Yep, sounds about right for 30w!
And you look fantastic.
Jennis last blog post..Yawn!
I hear ya on the nails and pubes. I am practicing shaving them with my eyes closed right now so I’ll have good practice when the belly pops and I can’t see down there anymore… Good times!
Talinas last blog post..Could it snow today? Weather man says it might!
Wow. Things to look forward to? 🙂
You’re looking beautiful! Can’t wait to see that baby when he comes!
Ok, I totally had a friend who, after the birth of their son, would squirt her husband with breastmilk if he said or did something stupid. He would always gag and run to the bathroom as if he was going to vomit and she thought it was hilarious. I told her there are men who would pay for that kind of twisted torture and that she should lay off her poor milk-phobic hubby.
I don’t know what options you have in your town, but where I live, there is a spa that does a “pregnancy prep” package to get moms ready for the big day. It includes a facial (because YUMMM facials are great) and a massage (they have a special table that lets the belly poke thru), a full leg/bikini waxing to groom things up in the nether regions, and finally a mani/pedi to totally pamper you and give you cute toes (that will be on display in the stirrups as you are a-pushing). You should totally look into that. Strongly suggest that friends and family chip in for this gift. You probably don’t need that much more baby stuff anyhow, have them pamper you instead of buying another outfit for the baby!!
Andis last blog post..Good Friends
Hahahaha!
That’s all I have to say.
Nickys last blog post..Dream House
You are looking great!

Memarie Lanes last blog post..The List
I’m so glad the baby is doing well and you don’t have too long to go!! You guys sure scared everybody there for a while. :p
Mrs. Cs last blog post..Parental Accountability and School Marketing?
You look gorgeous honey.. and as for the pubes I am a great believer in if you can’t see them they don’t exist..
frogpondsrocks last blog post..weeekly winners..
Veronica, you look great! That baby belly is adorable.
And I agree with your mom, if you can see them pubes, they’re just not there.
Leslies last blog post..Julia Sings “That Song ‘Bout Lightning McQueen”
What an adorable baby belly!!! 😀 But, your smile…your smile is GLOWING!
SECRET AGENT MAMAs last blog post..Weekly Winners XXXXXIII
Haha that was funny.
I love the pic. Secret Agent mama is right, you are glowing.
Long pubes serve a purpose in a zany carwash the baby’s head as it is crowning kind of way.
What?
It’s true!
tiffs last blog post..I haven’t got alot to write…
Modesty is definitely something one learns to put aside when growing and birthing babies.
Bettinas last blog post..Simple Pleasures Sunday
Aint no modesty in birthing 😉
Jaynes last blog post..Trivial History November 17
Chris TOTALLY trimmed mine with scissors and a mustache trimmer before the kids were born. I trusted him not to “hurt” his gold mine LOL
My boobs never leaked that much before. You lucky gal, you 🙂
you look awesome, Veronica! Really – you look great.
Taras last blog post..My little problem with control
No there’s nothing modest about childbirth or it’s aftermath lol! After my son’s extremely messy forceps delivery, one the group of student nurses who were doing ’rounds’ with my midwife actually passed out at the sight of the not-so-delicate embroidery decorating my bruised and battered nether regions! She should have tried sitting on them!
Veronica, you are looking so beautiful!
maiden53s last blog post..Las Vegas Or Bust!
Hey! Looking adorable and very pregnant now!
Pushing a baby out of your vagina with twelve people looking at it, and sticking their hands up there.. definitely doesn’t lend itself to modesty.
Reminds me – right after I gave birth, my doula helped me into the bathroom and she was embarrassed while I peed in front of her. I thought that was hilarious. “You just stared at my twat for three hours and this embarrasses you?!”
KatSTUFFs last blog post..I Licked My Brother, Because That’s How I Roll!
You are adorable! And that belly is gorgeous.
And lmao @ the pubes shaving bit. Ahhh, the joys.
Sarcastic Moms last blog post..Weekly Winners, November 9-15
Seems like only last week you were telling us all you were pregnant, now there’s only nine weeks left! You’re looking beautiful. I had the extra hair and nail growth too, but not the leaky boobs. That came after the birth. Two days of non leaky colostrum, then my milk came in. Twin fountains for weeks!
You are, if nothing else, luridly descriptive. I remember when our Boys were babies. I never called Annie’s boobs ‘boobs’. I used to refer to them as ‘snacks’.
lceels last blog post..Ah, my jones
Dude, I have tons of white hair. Everywhere. Damn hormones. I just plucked 2 white chin hairs. WTF? I’m only 28!
nikkis last blog post..We like to start them off early here
Goodness – I forgot about how much your modesty diminishes when you’re pregnant or have just had a baby! My youngest two just had their second birthday, so I guess I’ve started the road back to squeemishness. I do remember talking on my cell in line at the grocery store and actually using the word “vaginal.” I barely glanced at the horrified onlookers – let alone look apologetic.
Kate Coveny Hoods last blog post..Friday Confession: I Hate This Chair
The finger nail thing was great. But isnt pregnancy fancy leaky nipples long pubes. Ahh the memories
Suzies last blog post..A Very Very Bad Weekend
Beautiful bump.
The time has just whizzed by.
Widdle Shamrocks last blog post..Screw Up Tuesday
Cool. So this is what I have to look forward to.
Excited already! No actually, I am. Pregnancy is the best thing in the whole world!
I read yesterday that it used to be thought that pubic hairs carried bacteria so the hospital would shave them off for you sometime during labour.
My nails and hair are growing like crazy too. My toe nails are the biggest pain cause when I’m as far along as you theres no way I will be able to cut them myself.
Good luck for the rest of it!!! Patienty waiting here for some baby photos. Post some more pics of Amy.
Wow, I can’t wait to get pregnant now! All that sounds bitchin!
Holy information. I don’t know how I might recover from being squited in the eye by my own boob. I’ve never had squirting boobs, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about that. My first thought is “eeeew” immediately followed by “coooool”.
Also, saw a tv show the other day which listed the top 7 pests in the world, and most of them were in Australia. You have problems with rabbits there? Dingos? Those birds with the icky poo?
Cats last blog post..My Honeymoon (i.e., The Most Fun I’ve Ever Had With a Man I Hope Never to See Again)
YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!! I just love seeing prego mommies they just glow! Hang in there it is almost over then teh REAL fun starts!

Jenn FLs last blog post..Sick Day
Lovely pic! 🙂
And I am completely there with the hair and nail growth!
You look amazing! Wow—ONLY 9 weeks left. Time really has flown by. *snort*
Somehow I was able to keep my pewbs shaved and my toenails painted, despite the fact that I’d gained 60 lbs and couldn’t see past my nipples. I guess all those years of masterbating helped me navigate down there with sharp instruments. I KNEW that would come in handy someday.
Hyphen Mamas last blog post..How to waste hours of your day and come out looking like a tranny
Minus the leakage, I’d kill to have my pregnancy boobs back. Heck, I’ll take any boobs.
You look wonderful! You’re in the final stretch 🙂
Momisodess last blog post..Brain Freeze
