An Ode to the Third Trimester

When that belly really shows

and those stretch marks start to flow,

you know it’s the third trimester.

 When you waddle to get around

and those veins begin to pound,

you know it’s the third trimester.

 When bending over is such a chore

and you barely fit through the bathroom door,

you know it’s the third trimester.

When putting on your shoes is a fight

and you can’t seem to sleep at night,

you know it’s the third trimester.

 When getting off the couch is a feat

and all you want to eat are treats,

you know it’s the third trimester.

 When you can no longer see your toes

and all you really want to do is doze,

you know it’s the third trimester.

When you can’t wait to meet your baby

and the anticipation is driving you crazy,

you know it’s the third trimester.
