Preggo, Take 1

These are the tales of my first pregnancy. My husband, Dave, and I have been married for a year and a half and live in a small town in northern New Jersey. We can't wait to meet our new child!

Week 26


  • Is all of this hair on my stomach a new thing, or is it just easier to see since the whole area is stre-e-e-tched out?
  • Why were my fingernails like iron last week and why are they like fine china this week?
  • Am I wearing a wig? I don't recognize this limp spaghetti on my head.
  • I thought every woman got beautiful skin during pregnancy as an extra measure of grace ... so where did this giant zit and ultra dry skin come from?
  • No Dave, it's not Essau sleeping next to you, it's just getting tough to reach my legs with a razor.
  • How do I look like I'm feeling? A person is making his bed on my bladder and kicking everything in reach.
  • Hey lady, stop staring. This is not a weird accumulation of belly fat -- there is a baby in there!
  • I really never thought that some of my maternity clothes would become too small.
  • In addition to that thought, if you see the middle button on my shirt undone, please tell me and don't let me walk around like that for an hour!

You kind of have to drum up your following of regular readers... go around and make a few comments on other blogs everyday, send out an email to friends reminding them to PAY ATTENTION TO YOU!!! Stuff like that...
