Being Pregnant

I spoke to a friend out in Utah the other day who is pregnant and doesn't even LOOK like she is.
Then another friend f/AZ called me last night to tell me his wife is 4 months pregnant and her hormones are all over the place.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I gained over 65 lbs. I was the blimp of all blimps.
In fact, one of my nick-names to this day from my cool husband is Buddha Babe... because I was huge.
I went from 123 to...add 65+ to that, and that's what I was.

My first friend tried to argue that it didn't matter what I weighed because I was so skinny BEFORE I had my girl. Yeah, weak argument. Considering I've had my second daughter and STILL trying to lose the last 7 lbs.!!!

As for friend#2, I know what it feels like to have your body out of whack, and you have no control over it. The only thing I can say is try to have as much patience as you can.
We women really do appreciate it in the end. I won't deny that women deal with 99% of the pregnancy, but I know the men have their times too.

What I want to know is who are all these men that have 'cravings' and 'morning sickness' along with their wives/girlfriends?!!! I've even heard women say that it was 'so sweet'!

Let me tell you something, that's great you want to sympathize and all, but come on!...when you're having "contractions" along w/her; you're really just trying to get out of some sort of housework, right?

Aside from that, today is my 4 year anniversary and was very happy that I got to spend the whole day with my husband. What did we do? We had a romantic 2-mile run together on the beach, and then took care of our kids ALL day! Jealous, huh? :) Yeah, we're hot!

That's the downside of where we live: Absolutely beautiful area...absolutely no one we know around.
Since we've moved here, we've gotten to know a few people, but not good enough to leave our kids with them. That's okay, we'll celebrate later. I actually had a lot of fun today, believe it or not!
