It will absolutely be worth it, honest! I actually had someone aske me what was wrong with my face when I was pregnant the first time because I looked so bad. Not only did that kid turned out GREAT, but my face doesn’t seem to scare small children now…Anyway, some things you just have to accept on faith, IT WILL BE WORTH IT!

That totally put the Friends Thanksgiving episode where Joey eats most of the turkey and needs to where Phoebe’s maternity pants in order to finish. He dubs them his Thanksgiving pants.

The episode features one of my favorite lines from the series, “Here come the meat sweats!”

Comment on 10 Things you should never say to a pregnant woman by BaddMinton

Willllllll, what were you thinking with that first comment?! I’m not even pregnant and hormonal, and it really steamed my clams! Men, take heed… don’t mess with a pregnant woman! Like our bodies changing and hormones all over the map doesn’t make us insecure enough, the last thing we need is our man adding to that… kidding or not. (I say “us” assuming that I will one day be pregnant, and apply these comments to my future baby daddy). We know they mean well, but they need to know it’s their job to make us feel good about ourselves when we’re pregnant.

I just gotta say, I feel your pain! Our poor men, they try so hard! You totally reminded me of my professor that observed that I wasn’t “in the wheelbarrow stage yet.” That’s right. yet. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to, Bob. Real pastoral… Oh well! I have a baby to play with now, and he doesn’t. heh heh heh.

As Phoebe’s grandma Berger I can say with great authority that you will return to your sweet, loving self shortly after you give birth. However, if Wil (from all accounts, a sweet, wonderful guy) does not wise up soon, you may in fact end up being a single mother because I cannot guarantee his safety from this great distance. And, even if I were there to protect him and I’ve had a few admittedly bizarre menopausal rages, my money would be on the pregnant lady in the room. Hands down. So, my advice is for Wil to say only loving, wonderful things and pretty much worship the mother of his unborn child until the coast is clear…maybe even after…

Comment on My brain. It hurts. by penguin_poet

I really enjoyed messing with Anne and her “mom-nesia”.

There were days when she’d just take on, “baby ate my brain,” as her mantra.

Phoebe’s fine now and there’s no trace of her prenatal zombie tendencies.

Hm. I like to take Sadie with me to the crag when I’m climbing & she’s ok with people, but not always ok with dogs. I once was pouring water into her bowl and another dog came up to take a drink…BIG mistake. Instant fight. I was so shocked that I just stood there and the owner of the other dog was yelling at me and cursing at me very loudly.

I haven’t really taken Sadie back to that crag since it happened. Dog fights freak me out. There wasn’t any blood though…

Call me anytime It would be great to catch up and I don’t know when we’ll get a chance to do that in person again. Wish you could join us at the beach this summer. You will be missed. Any chance we might see you October?
