All Day Long by Stacy Jagger
Granny Panties
By Stacy Jagger
There comes a time in every extremely pregnant woman’s life where she asks herself, “How, exactly, did I get this large?” And she wonders where her toes went. Where her back went. Why it is so difficult to clean the house, to drive a car, to breathe, to turn over in the bed. Why she all of a sudden seems to be making grunting noises like Archie Bunker in the night. Why there seems to be no differentiation between her calves and her ankles. Cankles they call them. And one begins to wonder, Will I ever return to normal? Will I ever wear pants that snap again? Or am I really destined to a lifetime of stretchy elastic and grandma panties…
Ahh the blessings of being a mother. A two hundred pound, water-retaining, I-can’t-bend-over mother of an extremely vocal and active two year old who wants me to do things like, 1. Run, 2. Jump, 3. Pick her up (and Repeat). Oh but friends, this too shall pass. For in only three measly weeks I will have the unprecedented opportunity to go through the most painful experience any human being with two legs will embark upon, other than the rare murder where each limb is ripped off slowly with toothpicks.
My midwife says this birth will be less than my first one, that just so happens to have been a FIFTY FOUR HOUR labor. Yes friends, I am still waiting for my certificate for that one to come in the mail. A certificate that says, “You go girl, You did it, Fifty four hours and not even an aspirin.” With at LEAST a million signatures.
But let me tell you friends. I am maintaining what they call a Positive Attitude. Positive that I will get through this. Positive that my abdomen blue stretch marks, whom I have named “Lightening” and “Thunder” will become war scars of great stories yet to tell. To a female audience of course. Positive, that the YMCA will soon receive one of their greatest customers yet, as soon as I can walk, because the thought of staying in the Silver Sneakers old ladies arthritis water class in the therapy pool as a thirty four year old, is a little more than I can take.
Now, I know what you are thinking, “Well just how does this woman get through life with such a bright and cheery disposition?” Well let me just tell you. I sing. Do I sing by choice? Oh no. I am coerced each and every day by my little one to shout out in fortissimo hit songs like, Home On The Range, Down By The Station, Shoo Fly Don’t Bother Me and other various bits and sundries of toddler favorites that we certainly all know the words to, IF you are attending Music with Mommie class that is. And by golly it seems to pull me right out of a full-on-funk, every time.
So ladies… the moral of the story is, when life gives you granny panties, just get your hiney down to music class so you can stay positive like me. Two hundred pounds of pure positivity. Guaranteed.
