not this cute anymore!I couldn't help but think that we were SUCH an odd couple. Here I was laying in bed like a fat walrus washed up on the beach shore. I was curled on my side, draped around a big pregnancy pillow, wearing the most unattractive (yet most comfortable) night gown. My hair was frizzy because I was too lazy to blow dry it before I laid down. And I honestly can't remember the last time I wore makeup. Is it actually possible that I am married to this man? Does he know that I currently weigh more than he does? How can he love me in such a state?
After we (he) finished talking, I looked over at our wedding picture hanging on the wall. That WAS me, once upon a time. And we do fit together. Maybe, just maybe, I will look and feel like her again.
When Aaron finally laid in bed next to me, I basically told him everything in the above two paragraphs (minus the walrus washed up on shore, I believe.) He tickled my arm and said, "My good looks are only skin deep, honey." Which made me laugh and love him all the more.

I choked from laughing so hard. I am not laughing AT you though, definitely with you. Don't we all feel like that somedays, pregnant or not?
simply hilarious. i just love you and your blog!!!! always entertaining.
i literally spit on my computer screen when you referred to yourself as a walrus. HIL.AIR.E.US.
only a few more weeks, you beautiful thing! hopefully, right?
oh, and I was hoping for a picture of yourself in your comfortable nightgown!
janet...thanks for your comments about homeschooling. i am definitely still considering it. i think it depends on if and when we have another child... that could put me overboard! your short comment about the grass being greener got me thinking... we have fake grass, our grass is always brilliantly manicured and perfectly green... even in the dead of winter... when things are not so easy... yet it is still green... your comment reminded me that the grass really is greenest right here, in my own front yard, and it is in your's too... speaking metaphorically of course... good luck with everything, and enjoy the down time... and the sunshine, even from your couch! i can't wait to see the new addition!
ps.. i remember feeling like a big fat blob when i was pregant, and being jealous of the girls walking around in thier post baby, back in shape bodies... you'll get there... especially with 4 boys to chase around!
no picture of me in the nightgown.. it's basically so old that it's see through. Not in the sexy see through kind of way, either. More like holes.
and I believe I stole the walrus referral from my funniest roommate, Val. I now give her sole credit. I came up with the washed up on the shore comment on my own, though.
hmmm... a little sappy and hormonal are we... two lovey dovey life is grand posts in a row???
You really do live the good life and you deserve it! Soon they're will be 5 boys to dote on you! And you'll be back to that pre baby shape so fast.... Trust me... you won't get much time for laziness once there are four kidlets to keep up with!... I don't think I'd ever get to sit if I wasn't nursing!!
Girl, you are one hot lady. You are your hubby are just the cutest. I think we do all feel like that when we are pregnant. I think you look fabulous.
