Comments on: Ink watch 2k8: almost 34 weeks http://madeinrichmond.net/ink-watch-2k8-almost-34-weeks/ One doesn't *become* a Southern lady. You either are, or you're not. No amount of acclimation will make up for a lack of upbringing based on bare feet, good manners, and the mastery of puddling rather than sweating.

You have that "all baby" look. Not an ounce anywhere by baby..... I think the belly is cute and not HUGE, even though it feels like it. You have that “all baby” look.

At the time I thought it was just the absence of the giant belly, but this makes sense too. I’d never really thought about it, but Jennifer described it perfectly — I did feel hollow at first.

I assume you've noticed that your bladder and your diaphragm aren't exactly where they used to be (heh). All the other squishy stuff is shifted aside as well. Both times I birthed I felt extraordinarily hollow in the middle at first, then over the next day or two everything mooooooooved back. It wasn't like SLAM or anything.

Am I going to be sitting there and then suddenly feel my intestines shift around? Why don't people tell you these things??? WHAT.

You'll also get to feel all your innards shifting back to their previous positions over the first couple of days postpartum, which I found to be one of the weirder experiences of pregnancy (and one nobody mentioned). The good thing is that *all* your weight seems to be baby and not padding, so it should go away quickly.
