#pregnancy woes

You know what's hot? The physical differences between us. I'm obsessed with them! This is a short comparison list, I could keep going..

He's tall and fit

I'm short and rounding out

He's free to run, jump, and maneuver as he pleases

I'm encumbered, weighed down and waddling, clumsy and slow

He can lift heavy things

I'm getting too heavy with his child to even try to bend down to pick something up

He has will and discipline

I'm at the mercy of my hormonal cravings

He's got the energy to stay up late gaming with his friends

I'm exhausted from going up the stairs and am going to take a nap

He's able to drink, and smoke, and go out, free to release his mental and physical pains as he chooses

I'm unable to have more than tylenol, having to bear the pain of growing his baby, and forget going out, I'm on bed rest

The bigger I get growing his baby the more obvious it is that our bodies are made to do different things. My body's purpose is much much different from his. His body is made to serve him. My body is made to serve others.

Just standing next to me must make him feel so powerful. Just standing next to him puts me in my place.

How could anyone ever think we are equal?

Third trimester is getting out of bed before my alarm goes off bc my body is aching

I am so sick. So so sick. I have some sort of respiratory infection meets mild flu, on top of pregnancy symptoms. I can't really take anything either (or at least I'm not willing to). I really just need a reprieve from the coughing, tight chest, chills and constant nausea.

A guy at work asked me today how I was still here (working) and like, I don't have the heart to tell people that even though I'm 38 weeks pregnant, in near-constant pain or discomfort, and being induced in less than 2 weeks, I still somehow feel guilty for not working up til I give birth. This whole time I was expecting to just end up going into labor WHILE at work. I feel like an idiot now for waiting as long as I did to take my leave, because we still have shit to do to prepare, but fuck.

Baby number 6 to be anticipated?

^Picture I sent Grant while he was at work a few weeks ago!

I have an announcement to make! It's been so hard to keep secret but I usually like to wait til 10 weeks to tell anyone besides my husband. I'M PREGNANT!

Baby #6 is on the way!

When I hit 6 weeks with this pregnancy is when I really started noticing symptoms. I've been so lucky and I've never really experienced nausea/ morning sickness before. Honestly having to excuse myself and scurry to the bathroom made me feel so stereotypically pregnant- seeing it as a life imitating art kind of moment is helping me through dealing with it. Nausea and vomiting is not fun but I did enjoy already feeling so pregnant without even showing yet.

Around week 7 and 8 is when I started to get intense food cravings I've already been annoying Grant telling him to get cherry pop tarts on his way home from work everyday. It's all I want to eat, my food aversions are the strongest they've ever been- I haven't experienced this before but pepper is so nasty to me currently.

Fatigue has also been a big symptom for me so far. My doctor is assuring me it's normal and in about a month I should feel less tired. Recently all I've been doing is eating, sleeping, breastfeeding and pumping. Breast tenderness is somewhat of a constant for me, but in preparation for baby #6 I can feel it has amped up they've gotten a strange tingling pain to them that jolts through me randomly. And I've already ballooned up another size which I'm surprised by but also I feel I should have expected since I am pregnant and breastfeeding, I need to buy new bras again.

I'm so excited to post more actively again and keep you all updated<3

This baby is kicking the hell out of me

[daemo-ut]

huh. how does the metaphysics of all this... work? like. sans, i assume your lifeforce isn't being tapped into in the standard Boss Monster Manner. does this mean toriel experiences twice the aging? or is it more complicated than that?

* ...You seem weirdly invested in this subject.

Yeast infections can kiss my ass and eat a bag of dicks.

Initially, I get embarrassed for being as big as a house. Then, I'm glad I can't see those damn high numbers on the scale lol

take my word for it, you haven’t gained anywhere near enough 🥰

I've edited this since so this specific iteration of the joke won't make it into the final cut but I still think it's funny so have this

have this added bonus from my friend that I think is just as funny

Prowl and green and purple himbos knock each other up?

My art is almost exclusively motivated by wanting a character to get a hug.

Not terribly exciting or deep, but that’s what I can offer.

This is harder to do than it looks!

I sorta get why people say "a/b/o tropes are just mimicking heterosexuality for gay people" but a part of me can't ignore the elephant in the room which is: you mean the mpreg au? You see men getting pregnant and think "ah yes the heterosexuals would love this!" Male pregnancy? We are calling male pregnancy heteronormative?
