Happy Third Trimester to Me!

So, you get two posts today because I decided I wanted to celebrate the fact that I'm starting the third trimester. I decided that this might be the last time I dare post pictures of myself while pregnant because I already feel like a hippo. Just in case you think I'm fishing for compliments here and really want you to tell me I don't look like a hippo, I'll show you that I'm being very logical about this...there's no woe is me...it's just the facts. :)
1-Hippos have this nice bloated look...I definitely have that (see below).2-Hippos seem nice and gentle, but have a violent streak...now, I haven't been violent, but I do fight off the urge to lash out irrationally quite frequently.
3-Hippos eat a lot...remember "Hungry, Hungry Hippos"?...I try to exercise self control, but I feel like eating like that...I have had a rather voracious appetite this time around.
The real point of this post is just to document some of the feelings I'm having in a humorous way...I don't expect to feel tiny while pregnant...I'm not having self-esteem issues. :) I just had the "I have to blog this" thought when I asked Alan to try climbing up on a chair to try and get a flattering photo...a bit ridiculous?...probably. :)
