Pregnancy: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire

"I wish I had a light-skinned boyfriend with real nice hair. And I wanna be on the cover of a magazine. But first I wanna be in one of them BET videos. Momma said I can't dance. Plus, she said who wants to see my big ass dancing, anyhow?"
-Precious, pregnant teen

There's no doubt that Mommy is sporting the body of a full-blown pregnant woman.  With only one week left until term, the signs that the bun-in-the-oven is about done are really starting to show: the ostentatious outtie, those curious cankles, the wobbly waddle.  If you think mothers-to-be complain too much towards the end, you should try walking with a bowling ball between your legs!

To help understand what her body is going through and what to expect when the big day arrives, Mommy and Daddy have been taking pregnancy classes over the past month.  The most important lesson: IT'S NOT LIKE THE MOVIES.   There won't be a dramatic car race to the hospital, a profanity-laced tirade while pushing, and Baby Campos won't pop out ready for an Anne Geddes portrait.  It's actually going to be a lot more like a middle school sock-hop: a lot of slow dancing and people overly concerned about 3rd base.

  1. 1 more week?! how exciting! bring something to entertain you both while you're in the hospital. we brought a laptop to watch our favorite shows during the afternoon when the baby had tests to run and doctors to see in the nursery. good luck to you three!
