Dare I say....I am enjoying the formula? I know that in this day and age formula feeding has become this borderline shameful thing/dirty little secret, but damn, I can drink coffee and alcohol and my body is mine. My husband and parents can help with the feeding. I would have breast fed if I could have, but you know, I admit that there have been some upsides to formula feeding as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-16557936543669168122008-09-11T12:02:00.000-07:002008-09-11T12:02:00.000-07:00Okay my ass was literally the size of your belly. ...Okay my ass was literally the size of your belly.

People talk about SUV's being bad for the environment. Cattle farms (and the subsequent beef consumption) are FAAAAAAR more damaging to our planet than a family of SUVs.

Hello, people - do you not SEE the BAGS UNDER MY EYES?!? I wanted nothing more than to sleep.<BR/><BR/>Also annoying: trying to take advantage of being childless by going out to dinner, movies, etc. as I simply couldn't sit through anything those last few months at home, much less in a theater. <BR/><BR/>The crazy part? I am totally ready to do it all again!<BR/><BR/>You look great.

Thank god you relate. I think pregnancy insomnia is the cruelest joke in the world. Many "well-meaning" people keep saying things like OH just you wait! You'll never sleep again once the baby comes, so I'm trying to bank sleep and enjoy it as much as I can but um, my body and fetus are not cooperating. Really. I am excited for the time when I get to get up for an actual reason. <BR/><BR/>PS I dosed out on Tums and switched to Cherry Mylanta a few weeks ago. Much better, although I went through a bottle in one week.

In Spain it's not usual to give middle names... and I really hate them because, c'mon, what's the point on giving your child a name he won't be using? Gee, I even changed my one and only name because I didn't like it at all. I'm all about "the shorter the better". So practic.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I agree with the above that you look too cute with those tiny legs and arms and the belly.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810111429807372207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-42810565823927626022008-09-09T21:32:00.000-07:002008-09-09T21:32:00.000-07:00How can you possibly look so GOOD at almost 36 wee...How can you possibly look so GOOD at almost 36 weeks?
