so this may be a bit naive, but I actually thought that maybe when my belly button popped out, I would actually be close to being done. and I was sort of right, but really I was just wrong wrong wrong.
My belly button totally popped out about two weeks ago. which coincided with the time when I felt like I was done with this pregnancy crap. I hate eggs. I'll never eat the damn things again (unless they are in baked goods or an Anita's breakfast burrito) again. I would also like to be able to sleep on my front and back again (just one would be acceptable). and just maybe, I'd like to be able to breathe again. but that's a complaint that I don't want to even think about.
but no matter what I feel like, I've still got like 3 months to go before achieving "mother of a squalling infant" status. which just reminds of what I'll bet is close to a universal truth, "most people don't want to be pregnant, what they actually want are kids".
but ok, i guess I'll appreciate the infant more when I can breathe again. like maybe its life's way of saying, "you'll won't ever get to sleep through the night again, but hey, at least you got your full lung capacity back".
ugh.

I saw this article and thought you might find it interesting/informative.

I'm surprised somebody hasn't invented some special sleeping device for pregnant women. I'm not sure what it would look like but maybe a cross between a bed, hammock, and swing?

Admittedly I haven't known a lot of pregnant women, but it seems that it's relatively common to go through a phase where you're like "I have a baby in here!" and the last few months are like "get this baby outta me!". So, maybe it's your body's way of helping you move along emotionally.

I think a neat way for my body to help me move along emotionally would be to just have the baby (healthy of course)
