You Can't Escape The Pregnant Waddle....

The other day at work I was having lunch with my sweet friend Katrina who is also pregnant. She is about four months though behind me. We were laughing and giggling and more about how the body changes and what we go through.

We were comparing notes and as we were walking back to our prospective work places I couldn't help but notice that Katrina's already had the pregnant waddle. We stopped and I looked at her and I said..."please, I don't care who are, but it is not possible to avoid the pregnant waddle." statement made.
She said... "I know right. Look at me I am already waddling." we both laughed.

A few months ago I was walking down the link in the hotel and someone said to me... "she's got the pregnant walk." I was less than amused because I did not have it then and I have tried so hard to not have it, but you just can't help it. It happens with out you knowing.

Sometimes I think it's the shoes I wear or the fact that my feet hurt or my legs hurt, but in reality, I have a basketball in my stomach and it's the first thing that enters through the door.
I am pregnant. this morning I finished breakfast and I looked down at my feet and I laughed. I could not help but think how swollen they are. It's just so funny. My body and all that it is doing to keep this child safe in me and prepare me for the baby to come.

Note, I thought maybe I might just waddle at work, but I don't I found myself yesterday at the shops waddling and even in the house. Dan and I laugh all the time about the changes. It really is good fun to laugh at too.

I bet even Gisele Buchen had a pregnant waddle. My aunt would call me and tell me that she looks great and has this little bump, maybe gained no weight. But I also had to remind my aunt that Gisele is the highest paid model in the world, makes more than her dishy husband, is 6ft. 2 in tall and has a chef and a trainer....Come on, I work at the Ritz Carlton and eat ICU food.... BIG difference, but I bet she too had that waddle.

So for now Katrina and I can waddle around the hotel as our bellies lead us and feel good about ourselves. But really I tried, I tried really hard NOT to waddle, but you know, you just can't escape the pregnant waddle.
