Babies

Let me introduce myself.  I am a stay at home mom and today I am 35 weeks pregnant.  That’s one week shy of 9 months, yet I have 5 to go.  For those of you confused about the math, you are actually pregnant for 10 months.  Why don’t they tell you this????  Because a month makes a BIG difference!  

I have gained 26 pounds total (and I have been exercising 6 days a week and hardly eating any junk), it has been 90 degrees outside for the past few days and every time I sneeze, hiccup, laugh or stand, I pee a little.

I have a wonderful husband who does have flaws, but pretty much is the stuff of fairy tales.  Gorgeous  - tall, blond hair blue eyed,  hard working and full of integrity.  He plays the guitar for our church (self taught) and his voice rivals most stars.  We have a 21 month old daughter who is bright, polite, fun, outgoing and beautiful.  Looks like her dad and flirts like crazy. 

So what could I possibly be upset about?  I mean, I do have to admit my life is pretty peachy and I couldn’t ask for more.  Except a little relief.  My belly is the size of a watermelon and my feet, ankles and fingers transform into sausages the minute I step outside.  

Our family is going swimming this afternoon - I’ll let you know how that goes.  In the meantime, for all you pregos out there - pass the time by staying in the air conditioned bliss of your home, have some ice cream and watch a good chick flick that has nothing to do with pregnancy or motherhood!
