]]> I saw this tutorial this week and of course I thought of Kelly. Poor thing is small and petite and is having a hard time finding maternity jeans that fit. Kelly, maybe you and the other pregnant ladies can give this a try. This is a much more frugal choice for maternity clothes!

]]> 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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!
