Things I have learned this weekend

I am way too tired to craft a grammatically coherent post, so it's going to be bullet points. Sorry. I am the suckiest blogger lately.

But, I did learn a few things this weekend, namely:
  • I will be completely happy if the next college graduation I have to go to is for the little Cornellian/Gaucho in my tummy.
  • Maternity jeans are the greatest invention on earth. I'm actually looking forward to a cross-country flight tomorrow, thanks to the "Secret Fit" belly.
  • Having my grandfather greet me with the words, "Hey, Fatty!" does not bother me nearly as much as I would have thought.
  • Zoos do not smell good when you've got a bionic nose.
  • Nobody, not even the future grandparents, seems to think that our ultrasound pictures areas cute as we think they are.
  • My in-laws are a lot harder to take without the benefit of alcohol.

Later this week, I hope to provide educational updates from my first full-week business trip in my, erm, condition. Should be good times!!

Ha! I write so many bullet point posts now... we are lazy. ;)

I love everything you learned... I notice the same thing with alcohol around some people, especially if said people are hammered themselves. Your grandpa sounds like a hilarious man, but you are a good sport too.

Hugs! And thanks for the comment...

Ah the bionic nose. I hear you sister! I smell smoke ALL THE TIME. And we dont smoke! And no one smokes in our house! I smell it right now and it drives me (and Peter) nuts.

Happy ICLW!

I'm also on a full-week business trip this week, though not my first in the pregnancy. A tip: don't be shy about demanding bathroom breaks! (Or just leave the room when you need to.) I'd also recommend keeping snacks in your bag that you can eat discreetly, in addition to a supply of water. Good luck!
