The Pregnancy Glow

Ok...is there really such a thing? I'm beginning to think not. Has any other preggers out there ever experienced it? Felt it? Was told they had it? I honestly don't know what it is and what it takes to have it. However...I have been told by several random strangers that my belly just gives me this glorious glow and I actually get somewhat offended as if it's such a horrible thing. But here's the thing people...the first time I was told that was when I was at the mall and had been walking all over the map, feeling exhausted and overheated and could even barely waddle and do note: I was wearing a lovely bronzer that day. Then again at the mall today, after I spent the whole weekend in the awesome sun Seattle had over the weekend (again with a little bronzer). I feel like people just say it to say it. You can't honestly say I'm glowing when I'm 40 weeks pregnant, I've got shooting pains through my hip down to my ankles, allergies that have made my eyes red and itchy, my sinuses stuffy and congested, I can barely breathe and I have a nice sun-kissed tan. My hormones just want to be like, "Oh honey, you must be mistaken, it's just your flourescent lights reflecting off my Laura Mercier Matte Glow Bronzer, thanks for playing." For all you Ellen fans....Walk Off.
