Niagara Falls

At which point you visit Niagara Falls on a blustery May day and are concerned about one of the following:

(a)  Falling Over the Edge of the Falls
(b)  Getting Struck by a Falling Tree
(c)  Being Pulled Aside by Border Patrol

(b), you are correct.


But not too concerned to enjoy the sights.

How Many

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Six

Seven

Eight

Nine

How much do said Pregnant Woman and husband have to pay in road tolls?  Pregnant Woman doesn't know for sure (Meticulous Accounting Husband might).  She does know that it might have been cheaper to fly...

I'm Learning

that pregnant women can get away w/ ANYTHING.

What?  You want to wear flip flops and a tank top to work when it's only 70 degrees outside?  Well okay.  We all know how pregnant women's feet swell (although yours haven't yet) and that while it's 70 degrees outside it feels like 100+ degrees inside (and the woman down the hall manages by wearing a sweater and socks and shoes).

So it's 9:50am and you want to eat lunch?  Well you ARE "eating for two" (even though the books say you really only need an additional 200 calories a day).

Don't you dare clean the bathroom tub or shower.  And don't even think about stepping foot near the kitchen sink.  Those cleaning products can be toxic (use baking soda and vinegar?  what are you a caveman?).

And you're right, with that growing belly of yours, you'd better just sit on the back deck and watch me do the yard work and pick up sticks.  Bending over really isn't what it used to be (and squatting certainly isn't an exercise you could practice in order to prepare yourself for labor).

Why yes, your very own personal assistant can bring you breakfast in bed.  Otherwise, you could spend the next 15 minutes dry heaving into the toilet.  What kind of cereal this morning, ma'am?

"Women" - "Pregnant Women"

Have you ever thought, "I wonder what Blake would look like as a woman?"

No?

Well how about, "I wonder what Blake would look like as a woman AND pregnant?"

Yeah, me neither but we get to see it anyway.

Have you Ever

Had one of those weekends that are just so great, you don't want it to end?

Do you ever cry because it's over?  And not because you're pregnant and hormonally imbalanced and happen to also cry when your husband does something as simple as getting you a towel after your shower?

I have.  It was a great weekend.  Filled with love, laughter, sunshine, family, and friends.

Congrats Jonathan and Lindsey!
