A Few Things I've Learned...

This is mainly for all of you women...a few thoughts on things I have learned while waiting (and waiting and waiting) for Landon to make his appearance:

1. There is absolutley NO limit on the number of times people are allowed to ask you "Haven't you had that baby yet?", even if they saw you earlier in the day and asked you the question that very morning.
2. Mood swings and pregnancy are so intertwined that it is hard to tell if you are cranky because you are still pregnant or still pregnant because you are cranky.
3. Eventually you DO get tired of trying to hold the sippy cup, wrestle a purse and a diaper bag out the door, AND hike your pants up every few steps while explaining to your toddler why you can't hold her baby doll, too (but eventually, you do break down and carry the baby doll). This leads to your careful weighing of the decision, "Do we really NEED toilet paper from WalMart today?" even if you ran out three days ago.
4. There are skinny people EVERYWHERE when you are pregnant, and none of their faces look even the slightest bit puffy.

And, the most important thing I have learned in the past few days of this pregnancy (drum roll)...

5. If you can still manage to reach for the bag of M&M's just out of arm's length on the couch during a contraction, it is probably not TRUE LABOR!!!

Hugs and kisses to all, and keep watching...I just KNOW this baby is as ready to be born as I am to see him!
