Humor, Other People, Pregnancy, Things I Said

I Know This is Already Everywhere and Old, But…

…it just feels so appropriate for–always.

 

And to those of you who have most recently asked for belly pictures, I offer this: find a tall, skinny, dark haired woman with a pointy nose wearing a sundress.  Ask her to stuff a size three soccer ball up her dress.  You’ve basically got a picture.  Better: blow up a balloon to a similar size and make sure she puts the “nipple” side out, and you’ve got me and my belly button.

Cheers.

I realize I lack tact. I realize I often speak/type and inadvertently hurt feelings as a result. But I strongly maintain that if the majority of humanity would simply succumb to saying what they mean without worry of how it sounds, sensitivity rates would drop, globally, and perhaps world peace would be at hand.

  1. Not fair that you can still use skinny to describe your pregnant self. I forgive you though, it’s probably your mom or dads fault for giving you skinny genes. Can’t wait to see you!

  2. Reminds me of the picture of you and me in Ohio…me, eight months pregnant with Laura and you, in your nightgown with a balloon stuffed inside. Remember that pic?
