I'm so pregnant!

[mistressdeath]

I can't believe how pregnant I am now. I'm 35 weeks out of 40, although going into labor any time between 38 and 42 weeks is normal. My belly is huge. My breasts are comical. My feet are swollen beyond recognition. I limp. I waddle. I can't wear my rings anymore, so I usually have one around my neck on a chain. I get Braxton-Hicks contractions

I don't know you very well, but I'm just glad you're healthy. I know people who had babies and went back to school and became very successful in their field of study. It was hard, but they did it and they are awesome.

Repeating what the previous commenter said. My teacher, who I still follow on Facebook, did the same thing and she's flying through her goals like crazy now that her kid is in preschool. She seems extremely happy. :)

And congratulations on being a good person and taking everything in stride and not letting it stop you. That's extremely difficult, and shows you have great character and a strong will. Keep being awesome! You're going to be a GREAT role model for your daughter if you keep it up!

omg! Congrats on baby making!

You are awesome and you'll find the school for you. Just keep on working and you'll get there!

I'm glad to hear you are doing well! I kind of gave up on G+, so I havent seen any of your pregnancy posts. Those people talking badly about you clearly have no respect for anyone else. I'm sure that you will do great!

1. You are gorgeous.
2. You are smart and motivated which your daughter will 100% respect.
3. Whoever that "friend" on google+ is, fuck him/her.

Beth, you're 100% correct that you are in a fierce competition right now for grad school spots like that. Honestly, I would not start grad school in the first year of motherhood anyway. Talk about driving yourself crazy! You will succeed because you're awesome. So glad I got to finally see you all preggers :)
