10 Things People Say in Your Third Trimester

1. You’re glowing.
   Actually, I’m 99% sure that’s sweat.
2. Are you going to get drugs?
   My cervix is going to open up to 10 cm and THEN a human is going to come out… I’d rather not talk about it.
3. Do you plan on nursing?
   My nipples have been hurting for 8 months… again, please let’s not talk about it. {ouch}
4. Pregnancy looks so good on you!
   Hmmm… maybe I should randomly carry a watermelon around with me more often?
5. Uhhhhh, I’m so full.
   Shoot… don’t mind me. {mindlessly reaching over to finish their plate}
6. How are you hot!?
   In my third trimester, the amount of blood and raging hormones flowing through my body is on point right now. Excuse me, what’d you say again?
7. Your poor swollen feet, you should put them up.
   No husband, you should rub them… Better yet, since you’re so amazing and I’m amazingly carrying our beautiful child (for almost a year!), how about a pedicure at the shop the down road?
8. Are you ready?
   As much as I say yes, NO. The room is ready, bags are packed, the car seat is installed, but I’ll never be ready for this.
9. Do you need anything?
   A keg of wine wouldn’t hurt.
10. I’m so excited to meet that baby!
    Now we’re talkin’, you and me both sister. Now, are you gonna finish that glazed donut?
