Flexing Muscles And Me, 32 Weeks Pregnant

Here I am, 32 weeks pregnant, and feeling huge. I guess maybe God makes the tail end of pregnancy so uncomfortable for me so that I don't fear the impending pain of birth. All I want at this moment is to be done being pregnant. I want to get my old body back and get a comfortable nights sleep. Currently, I think I use the bathroom 5-6 times every night, sometimes more if Mercedes kicks my bladder. Plus, I am just achy overall. Here I am complaining instead of demonstrating the sheer joy and gratitude that I feel for this pregnancy. I do complain more than I ought to. Please forgive me and know that I am grateful. I guess I'm just keeping it real, too! Oh, the video is a cute one of Joshua flexing his muscles. What's funny is we didn't teach him to do that. I think he watches his dad flex his muscles and he thinks it's pretty neat. Anyway, it makes for a cute video.

I must say that is impressive position for a women your size. You are cute pregnant even if you don't feel it. I love the video of Joshua flexing.

I just love him so much!! He is so cute flexing his muscles!!! And the little grunt.....oh so cute. P.S what the heck were you thinking?!?!?! Doing the splits like that. You might have squeezed Mercedes out!! Or maybe I'm just jealous because I can't do that!

Ok, I would never be able to strike that pose, even without being pregnant! You look cute! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Oh, I miss my Ralae! You are so totally awesome for hitting that arabesque with a bun in the oven. I agree that the uncomforts of pregnancy are good motivation for squeezing a baby out. It will all be over soon, and you'll look fabulous I'm sure.

Wow you look fabulous! My eyes about bulged out of my head when I saw you holding your leg in the air! I can't even get my leg straight out in front of me when I'm pregnant;)

Oh my goodness! You are doing the splits! That's pretty impressive. I know you just feel huge and awkward, but you are way cute pregnant! Hey, hopefully we'll see you at Karissa's reception next weekend.
