1 Thing I Love About Being Pregnant

Playing the pregnancy card. This is especially effective once you are visibly preggers. People in general are remarkably nice to pregnant women, even strangers. They let you ahead of them in lines. They smile at you more and start pleasant little conversations with you about just about anything (not just about babies). Husbands give unsolicited backrubs (my favorite pregnancy perk).

All in all, it is a happy time and people just seem happy to be around you. What's not to love?

Hark! Is that the Four Horsemen I Hear?

This week has been a banner one - for me, at least.

Firstly, on Tuesday some stranger got up looooong before his stop and...

(you're never going to believe it...)

OFFERED ME HIS SEAT ON THE BUS!!!!











Then, yesterday I'm walking home and some random woman decided it was necessary to compliment me on how great my pants made my butt look.












Ummm...is it "be nice to pregnant women week" or something 'cause if not I'm going to have to start:

a) keeping an eye out for 4 scary dudes riding horses running amok in the city
b) dodging amphibians raining from the heavens
c) checking to see if the moon really is turning to blood
d) listening for Gabriel's horn (although I'm not at all convinced he could blow hard enough to drown out my ipod)
e) cleaning my house...you know, in case cleanliness truly is next to godliness and therefore a prerequisite to salvation and all that crap.
