Jen is in her 3rd trimester, and she looks adorable. She is pretty uncomfortable but she’s been hanging in like a champ. I carried our first baby. It’s kind of interesting being the “other” party in this pregnancy.
This semester has been insane, and I haven’t gotten to as many meetings. I ran into a woman from the halls. My son and I were hanging out in town. She was there with a guy I didn’t know. I had gone into Dunkin Donuts to get a coffee but I wouldn’t let my son have a donut because I knew he would eat some Halloween candy. This didn’t fly. He was walking up and down the street crying, “I’m so hungry…I’m so hungry.” He was giving a pretty good performance. Luckily, he is built like a linebacker so I don’t think anyone really thought he was starving.

The lady looks at my son, and then says to me, “I didn’t know you had a kid. He’s adorable.”
I tell that yeah, I do have a kid. I then tell her that we are having another one in January. I don’t think she knows who “we” are.
But she congratulates me. We talk for a little bit more, and then its time to move on.
Walking away, I heard her say to her guy, “Did you hear her? She’s pregnant!”
Yep. I’m looking pretty good. I’m carrying it like Sarah Palin!


Not only are you carrying the pregnancy well but you’re positively glowing.
This gave me a huge laugh! A friend who is pregnant gained 17 pounds so far and is a little freaked–you, however, wear it so well!
And you’re going to recover so quickly from your pregnancy, too!
HA! That’s great.
