I don't exactly remember what it's like to not be pregnant. I remember what it's like to be less hugely pregnant, but that's different.

Will it feel odd, then, after you give birth?
When are you due, anyway? I don't think I caught that.

I seem to recall that unpregnancy was a lot easier from moment to moment. I'm sure it'll be a little disorienting for a while, though.

Due date: November. So, I've got a way to go, yet, but I'm in the home stretch.

In the summer, although I know, intellectually, and even remember it happening, that there are times when I have to leave the house wearing not only a sweater but also a heavy coat, scarf, gloves and hat... it's practically inconceivable to me to wrap my head around it.

The flip side, of course, is that, in the winter, I can't possibly imagine ever leaving the house in just a sundress...

I can only imagine how pregnancy would map onto my short-term body-memory.

What I find disconcerting is the simultaneous feeling that a) I've been pregnant forever; and b) it's going really fast -- surely it was only a couple of days ago that I was 14 weeks, and good lord, November's so *soon* and I'm not even remotely prepared!

precisely!

It IS almost here, isn't it? I mean, holy crap! Tabernac! This is so fast! So much to do, so little time! And yet, it's been happening forever, and 9 more weeks is a long time.

I saw my shadow last week and thought "12 more weeks of pregnancy" -- maybe this is how the Groundhog Day tradition started!

That was after I figured out it was, in fact, *my* shadow rather than a passing zeppelin's.

Heh, I sympathize. I should take a belly-shadow photo! Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Three (jeez, almost *four*) years later I look back at that pregnant time and shudder; now I can't really remember what that must have felt like. At the time, though, I was sure I'd be pregnant forever; I couldn't imagine what would come after.

I remember that feeling. I don't usually remember what it's like to be pregnant, but every now and then I'll get a gas bubble in my lower abdomen and it'll feel just like the early kicks, and that's kind of creepy and cool.

I'm not sure I want to be able to say "and I haven't looked at gas the same way since!", but it's certainly true that early kicks feel like some kinds of gas bubbles. So, whether or not I say it, I'll probably think it.
