You're Pregnant, Not Dead

I'm sure my opinion will change come June when its 100 degrees out but it sure seems like time is flying by at this point. I've been extremely blessed to have had no morning sickness..........yet. There's one feeling that has yet to leave me and I'll be glad to see it go........tired and sleepy. I can't possibly get enough sleep. I have a newfound respect for mothers that juggle a full time job, caring for their home and children while being pregnant. This is where the mood swings come from. This is why no one messes with a pregnant lady. This is why when women have babies they quit their job and stay home. I think all pregnant ladies should be allowed a two hour nap everyday, all expenses paid of course. I'd be so much more productive:) My boss for one isn't having that though. And while it does seem he's helped out a little more around the house dear husband has told me already that I'm pregnant, not dead:( So while they just don't understand this unbelievable feeling of "I could curl up on the roof and sleep right now" surely they won't mind if that load of laundry waits until later or that check doesn't get written until tomorrow. If not, here's your fair warning to let me get a little snooze before you complain. In this state of mind I'm more likely to respond with a "If you want it done now, do it yourself" than a "I'll get right on it." You got complaints about my response? Switch places with me and then we'll talk.....sounds like I could use a little snooze right now!

How We Told Our Folks...

Well, for me I just couldn't hold this secret. I had to tell them all.....immediately. Mama and Granny B I told over the phone because I couldn't wait any longer. For Daddy & Janet and Mae Mae & Doug I sent them congratulations cards in the mail with some little baby shower favors stapled inside which included minature babies. My note to them was just to call me when they "got" the card....those phone calls came in quickly! Once they knew phone calls resumed for Grandma & Daddy K, various aunts, uncles, cousins and other family and friends. Lance's Mama is the one that tickles me though. We waited until Christmas Day to "give" her this as a surprise. I wrapped up a Grandma's Brag Book for her which she had to open before we went to Grandma Garvin's. Now you know if we would have went to Grandma Garvin's first she would have found out some way, some how. Riley was with us and I got him to act as if he was playing with the video camera and he got it all on tape! That one was priceless. That lady's been trying to get me pregnant for as long as we've been married!
