They're at the stage where they just can't imagine getting any bigger, or how in God's name their skin could possibly stretch any further without bursting like a ripe melon.
Trust me, I know.
Both my kids decided to come 9 days post-due date.
It DOES feel humanly impossible to get any larger.
But you DO.
And it doesn't even get you into the Guiness Book of World Records.
I honestly thought I'd be pregnant forever. Haul those little buggers around for the next couple decades. Because when you're 9 months pregnant and past your due date, every day feels like several years.
I thought they'd just hang around being fed and watered, pop a hand out for their college degree and social security check, and that's that. Early retirement while Mom does all the work.
Don't worry, friends. They will come out sooner or later. In the meantime...
Make peace with stretch marks.
