Reasons to be Totally Thrilled that I'm Still Pregnant and Show No Real Signs of Becoming Less Pregnant Any Time Soon:

1: Big babies are healthy babies, right?

2: More one-on-one time with Raegan... even if I'm too huge/tired/grumpy to really play much.

3: Newborn size diapers are spendier per diaper then size 1 and up.

4: Could maternity clothes BE more comfortable?

5: I'm excused from reproach when my belly hangs out the bottom of the now too-small aforementioned maternity clothes.

6: Does anyone REALLY LIKE shaving their legs?

7: Same goes for the naughty bits?

8: When else, in your LIFE, will you be allowed to leave Coldstone Creamery with $23 in icecream without being moo'd at as you walk away with your jumbo bag of butt-dimple making goodness?

9: All the time I'd want to catch up on scrapbooking! Who needs sleep?

10: Each and every cleaning impulse leads to major room sterilization. Not nesting, just hopeful thinking.

11: When else will an outie be "cute"?

12: Each day pregnant is one day closer to end of term for Matt.

13: Each ( weekend day) pregnant is .625 hours more in paid vacation time.

14: I can change my mind at Starbucks even after they have started making my drink. Indecisiveness is a GREAT exploitation point!

15: I get to walk funny. No one thinks I'm walking out a wedgie.

16: Granny panties are comfy. Big and covering, loud prints, squishy and soft. You can't beat the comfort of a huge floppy pair of Granny panties.

17: One word. NAP.

18. I currently only change 5.... maybe 6 diapers in a day.. depending on poo-time.







I'd like a longer list... so if you've got any ideas you'd like to add, please let me know! Every day new positives must be found! I could potentially still be pregnant 25 days from now. Yes... I need a longer list.

How about as of right now you don't have to worry about dealing with an umbilical stump, circumsion recovery (if you choose!), getting the hang of breastfeeding, changing twice as many diapers, and alas not having to worry about how many pounds you have to lose to be back to where you started! Those are my thoughts, if you even cared to know!

Ahh yes, the umbillical stump. Fun.

No circumcision worries here!

The diaper thing though.. may have to edit the list to add that in...

I personally think that if anyone was going to do a fabulous job of exploiting the excuses of pregnancy, it would totally be you. I will also point out that you are able to make other people do the dirty work of life graciously and there will be no heavy lifting for you!! Oh, and all that chocolate? Go ahead! You need to build your strength!

Tee hee!!! ;-)

As the mom of two young things right now..... I would say the font used to type the word NAP should be enlarged, and a discussion regarding poop needs to be elaborated on.... and hydrated hands needs to be celebrated.

Uh..if your granny panties are indeed 'squishy', maybe you need to up that diaper changing count by one or two.....

Sabrina said...

HA HA HA!!

Squishy soft-- not squishy wet.

Although that would be an improvement.........
