I laughed and cried through this. HOME STRETCH, baby! She’s almost here and then you get your body back. Wish I could give you a foot rub and bring you snacks.
My bestie got carpal tunnel when she was baking her baby. She was like, I didn’t even know this was a thing!!! Y’all (moms) are the GOAT. ❤️🔥
I love this sentence so much - “Funny how that phrase becomes derogatory after like, age seven. Now a mere 25 lbs separate my 6’ 3 husband and I—he, a planet and I, his moon, round and made of cheese. “ and then the Jimmy Dean line- hot damn. I’m really enjoying these takes!
I’m pregnant right now and feeling all sorts of ways about this new body — this made me laugh so hard and brought some real lightness - thank you, thank you!!!
Oh this is relatable… I topped out at 198 with a 55lb gain and did not magically shrink back to pre-preg size (landed about 35 lbs up)—not yet at least. It is a drag some days, but other days I’m like, damn I look way even hotter this way.
Navigating how we feel about ourselves is the work of being a woman, a human, in this culture… your writing and reflection will help you find your way.
I love this comment for so many reasons but especially the “damn I look even hotter this way”— i often think a “bigger” girl is more attractive, so I’d love to extend that sort of admiration to myself. All in the process ❤️
I love this so much. My husband has a picture of me bent over in front of a window unit pantsless at 41 weeks because everything was hot and sweaty and BIG. Thank you for sharing this 💜💜 sending so much love to you and baby girl!
This is witty, sharp and beautiful. When my sister was pregnant she was fascinated with how big her belly got. She kept saying funny things like “can you believe I’m 24 and can’t tie my shoes?.” Or “I can’t believe I’m growing a penis right now”. Pregnancy is fascinating and proves just how devine and incredible female bodies are. Lots of luck with the final stages and a new role.
Girl. Same. My husband is also very proud of our baby girl is aiming towards being 8 pounds at birth. My 5’0 frame has never been…more round, let’s say that. Big Mama forreal.
Yeah so you’re my fav real-life no-filter read and even more so with your pregnancy experience, sending you lotsa love and I can’t wait to read once she gets tf out!
Unfortunately may need to recreate the “Certified Lover Boy” cover with that photo

We’re in this together, baby 🫶🫶🫶 wishing you a beautiful journey, even through the crazy body reckonings
Is this a safe space for me to admit I was over 9 pounds?!? It’s my cheeks. Always been large!
Love ya bunches!!!!!
I was 9lbs 8 oz and it was all in my head. I looked like a swollen tomato 😂🫂🙏
And I had so much hair 🤣🤣🤣
You guysssss Andrew was almost 9 lbs too so we could be working w something like that by the time she’s fully baked 😂😅
And Jenovia and I will throw her a welcome to the club party!!!
Impeccable resonance in storytelling and how it actually is. This is a great work of writing!
I appreciate this so very much. Thank you, Donna 🥰🥰
Your wit is unparalleled
🥹🥹🥹 THANK YOU SO MUCH
