The end of pregnancy is torturously long. It’s actually hard to think of too many things that take longer. But I managed to come up with a few, such as…
1 – Translating the entire Harry Potter series into Russian
2 – Driving from Seattle to Maine with three kids, and then back
3 – Watching every single episode of Game of Thrones
4 – Waiting in line at the DMV
5- Planting your lawn one blade of grass at a time
6 – Counting every granule of sand in the desert by hand
7 – Sitting through a recorder concert starring 400 second graders
8 – Waiting for kids to finish dinner with the TV on
9 – Reading an entire set of encyclopedias in French, except you don’t speak French, so you have to translate every single word
10 – Traveling 360 billion light years to another galaxy
11 – The time it takes for your husband to finish a to-do list you made for him
12 – Anticipating Christmas morning when you’re a kid
13 – Potty training octuplets
14 – Waiting for AAA when you get a flat tire
15 – Climbing Mount Everest on a Pogo Stick
16 – Trying to locate the one stuffed animal your kid is looking for among the 246 she can find
17 – Re-shingling your entire roof blindfolded
18 – Deciding between two throw blankets at Target
19 – Finding a parking spot at the mall during the holidays
Yeah, that’s about all I can think of. Every other task makes the end of pregnancy seem like an eternity. Because basically it is. At 39 weeks along with my fourth child, I am almost 100 percent sure I will never actually give birth. I. Will. Be. Pregnant. Forever.
Save yourselves.
