1. I'll have everyone know that according to my little baby ticker thingy, I am down to double digits. Ninety-eight days until The Lentil makes her appearance. This is a good thing because now I'm not necessarily lying when I tell people I'm six months pregnant. It's a bad thing because The Lentil is a human baby who will actually want to be fed. I know. Can you imagine the nerve?
2. I was looking at a friend's pregnancy pictures on Facebook the other day. They're beautiful. I thought I'd mess with Husband and asked him if he'd take some pregnancy pictures with me. Bless his heart. He just looked at me and said, "People do that? WHY?"
3. The things that Husband thinks about always make me laugh. I told him a couple of weeks ago that my mother only ever bought us sensible, white, cotton panties. Apparently this greatly disturbed him. As we were falling asleep the other night, he wanted to know if I'd buy our daughter some Strawberry Shortcake undies. I said, "I can't believe you're talking about our little girl's panties." He said he wants her to have some fancy undies if she wants them. It just goes to show you that Husband really enjoyed his underoos.
4. I'm wearing my cute, new, black pregnancy dress for the first time today. When I got to work, I realized it's kind of see-through. To the dressmakers of America, I say, "Aren't we to the point in clothing production where we can make dresses thick enough that people don't have to wear slips underneath them??" Really. I only own one slip. And I never wear it.
5. And speaking of slips and stuff I don't wear, are there really people out there who are my age or younger who still wear pantyhose?? I'm not talking about wearing them during the winter to keep yourself warm, I'm talking about wearing them as a fashion accessory. I can't stand to have anything on my legs unless it's absolutely necessary.
6. I walked into the house yesterday to find the corn plant I've been babying along for the past 2 1/2 years ripped to shreds - leaning to the side, 50% of the leaves stripped off. I called Husband to make sure it was him who'd done it, not a thief. He said that he'd tripped over it. When he got home and saw the mess, he proclaimed it "not that bad".
7. I made my very first carrot cake ever last night. Who knew that carrot cake had so many actual carrots in it! So healthy!
8. I want my own laminator. I had one on my mission and I LOVED it. I laminated everything I could find. The evidence can be found in my scriptures - with the 431 bookmarks I made. I was just following the lead of the mission office - which also laminated everything.
9. Husband says the reason The Lentil kicks so hard is because she has "massive calves like her mama". He refuses to acknowledge that he also has giant calves, stating that his calves are "proportionate to his body".
10. And the pregnancy question of the day: did anyone else stretch excessively in their sleep when they were pregnant? I'm constantly waking up mid-stretch, which always ends when I start to stretch my legs and my calves cramp. Why do I feel like I have to stretch in my sleep??

Yes Darling I am a proud owner of many the pair of tights (panty hose). Some of us Paddys dont get to see the sun that often and will go to great lengths to cover up our white-ness. I own a fab pair of fish nets as well as some other fabulous design-y ones!
I wear tights, but not pantyhose, and definitely not those nude ones.
And I am with you on the slip. I realize the dress I was wearing yesterday really needed a slip. Oh, well.
Hang on! Are tights and pantyhose not the same thing?
Tights are thicker than pantyhose.
And, my legs haven't seen sun in at least three years and they're white as they can be, but I still refuse to wear anything on them. Mostly because it squeezes my guts and makes me feel like I can't breathe.
Pantyhose! Funny you mention them... I was in NYC for 11 days (just got back) and I found the under 30s who wear pantyhose! I couldn't believe it- every girl who walked by in lower Manhattan was wearing a pair- black ones, brown ones, nude ones... and pumps. And suits.
I told my sister I just found the people who are keeping Leggs in business. And those mail-order pantyhose companies.
The story about the girly panties is awesome. It made me chuckle out loud. It's good to see a daddy looking out for his little girl.
Yes, I wear nylons. I guess I'm as stylish as those girls in NYC. I had someone tell me once long ago that they should be worn to church and it stuck with me.
I used to have a laminator and I LOVED it! I can't wait to get another one. I even have a stash of laminating pouches.
I have distinct memories of waking up while stretching my leg and getting a Charlie horse while pregnant. Those hurt! I'm sorry you have to deal with that too. I hear eating bananas might help! (If you can keep them down.)
