The Family and Relations Channel at b5 is hosting another channel carnival soon. We are supposed to tell our New Year’s resolutions. I hate to be the rebel so I am going to post mine and then let Karen post the real one. She’s much better at being nice than I am.
Am I in a bad mood? Of course not! That takes too much effort and I like to smile and laugh too much! I just hate making New Year’s resolutions only to see myself fail miserably. I can do that on my own without setting myself up to begin with.
So here are my inside out resolutions:
- I am going to gain around 30 pounds. I’m pregnant. Did you expect anything different from me? Hope I can lose most of it before next year though.
- I am going to buy bigger clothes. I’m pregnant. Did you expect anything different from me? I hope I will be back into a 12 before next year though.
- I am going to spend less time with my daughter this summer. I’m pregnant and due in July. Did you expect anything different from me? I will lose a lot of time in the summer so I hope to make up for it this spring.
- I am going to lose a lot of sleep this year. I’m pregnant. Did you expect anything different from me? I get up every few hours each night whether the DD is sleeping or not. This summer will get worse. Next year will be better!
- I am gong to spend money on stupid stuff this year. I’m pregnant. Did you expect anything different from me? Hormones make you buy the dumbest stuff for the new baby when it will only want me, daddy, and their big sister to play with.
So there you have it. My New Year’s resolutions with a unique twist and a common thread. Hope it will make you smile and remember what it was like when you or your wife were going through the most exciting time you will share. I do catch a lot of flack from friends and co-workers because I love being pregnant. The cramps, huge stomach, and weight gain are all worth it to me. I would do this all over again if the DH wants to. Just don’t ask Robyn. I think she might actually be done after 4. Love ya, girl!
I’ve never experienced the “glowing” feeling of pregnancy. I was so sick that the doctor put me on Zolfran. With insurance it was $20 a pill. I had to take them every 8 hours!
This is hubby here… she is not in a bad mood here, but let me tell you the truth… deprive her of food or deprive her of sleep then a bad mood is what you wish she was having versus what you get.
It’s not that bad, but it ain’t good. I love you babe!
Well, I don’t think that I’m the “nice” one. Maybe we’re equally “nice”, but I just say what I’m thinking too much, so you usually appear to be the nicer one. But then again, I haven’t been around you much when you’re pregnant, so maybe I’m getting ready to see a new you. LOL
I certainly didn’t like being pregnant. I had just about every weird symptom there was. The only thing I liked was feeling the baby move.
Thanks, babe! I love you too. You are so patient and kind.
I hear you on every one of these – looks like we are due about the same time with a new friend for our little girls – I think I will steal your resolutions and make them my own
Wait a minute – spend a lot of money on stupid stuff? I thought that as a 2nd time parent that you’d have a pretty good idea of what was necessary and what was frivolous… I was counting on that for when we get to #2 ourselves! Please tell me we won’t have to do all this crazy spending AGAIN??!!
There is something about kid’s clothes and toys that sometimes makes parents go a little crazy. For some reason we go to the store and buy toys for our kids, even when they have enough at home.
And I think that no matter how manykids you have, you still get caught up in the cute clothes or the new gadgets. I am definitely buying a bumbo this time!
