Sung to the tune "I'm a little Teapot"
I'm a pregnant woman
short and stout
cranky and irritable
you better watch out!
Six weeks and counting
I can't wait
This baby had better
not be late.
When I go to sleep
and try to dream
my hips and legs hurt
enough to scream.
And just when I actually
catch some Zee
my bladder yells and
I'm up to pee.
My heat index has risen
don't smell my pits
I need to bathe twice daily
it is the shits.
Cleaning up the house
is more than a chore
cuz' I can't bend over
or get on the floor.
Remind me once again
why I chose to be
pregnant and miserable
with this company.
(belly pic intentionally kept small - really, you don't want to see all those stretch marks. After 3 pregnancies - ICK)
Ha ha ha. Very funny. Oh, FYI, the pop-up photo is HUGE!!!!!!!

Karmyn, WT isn't joking...your picture DOES supersize!! (BTW, the way I found to keep mine small when I don't wanna show the "details" is to "Copy Image" when the post is in "Preview" mode...then upload it again.)
BUT...your little re-write of the song? BRILLIANT! You might be all those things, but darlin', you're still smart and daggum funny!!

When I first glanced at the picture, it looked like a *very* warped foot. (your fingers were the freaky toes)
So, baby belly? Not so bad. ;)

ROFL!!!!! You just captured every single thing that I was thinking at this point in my third pregnancy - well done!

When your water breaks
We'll hear you shout:
Don't forget to breathe
And push him out!

Too funny! I have a theory that stretch marks are like pantyhose and once they "rip" they just get longer with every subsequent pregnancy.
Darn pregnant bellies!

This is FABULOUS! And after one kid I have stretch marks like that.

It will all be worth it... but I love the song... I may have to pass that along!

You're killing me - I lost it at the "it is the shits" line. :)
Posted by: melissa | April 16, 2008 at 07:43 AM
That was the best! You truly captured how a woman feels in her last trimester. :) It'll be over soon. :)

ohh I love it love it love it!
I've been such a terrible blogging friend. I think I am going to start another blog called the half hearted blogger. Or the undedicated blogger. or perhaps the good intentions blogger

Oh, my Lord that is perfect. I simply love it!

La la la! You are a fab songstress (or whatever the word is)!!
Posted by: Margaret | April 16, 2008 at 02:39 PM
I hear you baby! Don't worry you will see "why you chose to be that way" very soon! (Providing that is you dont go 14 days over like I did!) The end of being fat is near...the end of sleepless nights though may be a thing of the past!
Your poetry is very amusing, now go and write another one about the woes of housework for me!
Posted by: Karisma | April 16, 2008 at 07:58 PM
Wow, that is the best pregnancy poem I've ever read! Okay, maybe the only one. But thank you for reminding me why I never want to pregnant again!
Posted by: Jana | April 17, 2008 at 08:15 AM
you are funny!!!
Posted by: claudia | April 17, 2008 at 08:40 AM
Hysterical song! I'll be singing it all day!
Ah...stretch marks upon stretch marks. Another reason I had one kid. I honestly don't think there was any more room on my stomach for scars.

Love the song!
