laughing out loud

I'm laughing at Corin's comment on my last post, about how otherwise modest ladies are completely comfortable talking about their lady parts when they are pregnant. I've been thinking about the perks of pregnancy lately and have come up with another few things that make the package a little sweeter:
  • Only when you are pregnant can you walk around Target with a drippy waffle mint chocolate chip ice cream cone...I dare you to take it away from me...come on and try it!
  • Fridays (or today) are comfort days at our school...we pay $1 to wear jeans. Most people wear jeans and a sweater...I'm in sweatpants and a long sleeved (Scotland) t-shirt. Once again, I dare you to say something...bring it on! The principal 'popped in' to take pictures of my class and she just smiled...smart lady!
  • Only when you are pregnant is it appropriate to talk about the progress of your cervix with your father--and then only barely. He called last night and asked me how the dr. appt. went and I didn't know how much detail to give him... :) Hey, he's the one who had 3 girls!
There are so many more but these are the few on the front on my mind. Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm off to do paperwork!!

I love that everyone has to be nice to you. Nobody wants to tick off the pregnant lady. Plus people act like your wonder woman just because you got out of bed and brushed your hair. There all should you be carrying that and sit down and rest. Aw the good old days. Of course lets not glamorize it too much. I mean there is also the horindous heart burn and that delightful moment when you pee when you sneeze for the first time.

Never peed when I sneezed...did I miss out? I like that your husband thinks you hung the moon after labor! Everyone shines that spot light on you for the day...only 9 months for that one day:)!
