Here is April’s baby bump update. If you aren’t interested, sorry. Skip this and resume reading tomorrow.
April 1st:
Some days, I swear I hear the Hungry Hungry Hippo tune blaring as I eat. It’s usually after I’ve devoured everything in the fridge in one sitting.
April 4th:
I’ve been having trouble keeping my blood pressure above 90/50. Apparently I haven’t been hanging out with my family enough. My mother can elevate it in under 2 minutes. (Love you mom)
April 8th:
My husband was looking for our tax information for a school form and I told him I didn’t know where it was.
He asked, ‘Is it in the garage?’
‘I don’t know’ I replied.
‘Is it in the office?’
‘I don’t know’
‘Is it in the bedroom?’
‘I don’t know’
‘Is it in the living room?’
‘I SAID I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS. THAT MEANS, I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS!’ I replied angrily.
‘You don’t have to yell! I was just trying to refresh your pregnant brain so maybe you’d remember something’ he said.
Quietly and calmly, I said, ‘I’m going to give you a ten second head start to put yourself in a public place. Otherwise, there will be no one to witness your murder.’
He disappeared. Quickly.
April 13th:
My sister let me borrow her baby/birthing books. One is titled, ‘Natural Childbirth.’
She’s such a comedian.
April 18th:
Our neighbor heard I don’t keep junk food in the house because I lack self-control to stop myself from eating it.
He brought over a roll of Oreos and some homemade apple strudel. I wanted to punch him…after I ate the strudel and Oreos of course.
April 22nd:
I asked my doc, “How much exercise is too much exercise?” He told me to rely on my common sense. Hmm. He may be too generous in his assumption I have any.
April 27th:
I don’t know what this horrific deformity on my stomach is… but it certainly doesn’t look like my belly button.
28 Week Belly Bump

You’re doing great! Keep up the great work (and the hilarious updates).
Is it just the angle of the picture, or are you really still not showing very much?
You have the tiniest 7 month belly ever! Good luck the rest of the pregnancy… I love your sister giving you a natural childbirth book, ha ha… mine thought she’d do that too until birthing class when they showed her the video of childbirth. You’re almost at the end of the tunnel!
OMG! I laughed so hard, it brought tears to my eyes!
You are so little for 28 weeks. I was large and in charge at that point in my pregnancy. You don’t have too much longer left. (Spoken like somebody so not pregnant, right?)
Hilarious! I read this to my mom this morning and we both were belly laughing.
Amanda/Alice/ND Chic: I have a super long torso for the baby to stretch. My sister carries the same way, fairly small. It’s the one time it’s beneficial to have the body of a Welsh Corgi.
Okay, okay… I was NOT going to ever respond on your blog ever again but then I just happened to see that one little comment about blood pressure and me and well… here I am. Really? I raise your blood pressure? Oh my goodness.. I had no idea. And to think I didn’t think I could do anything right! Now dear… your blood pressure is just way to low. I’m sure that I am just what the doctor ordered. What fun when you go into labor. I’ll be right there sweetheart… I can hardly wait! Love, mom
Hey, I had to at least give you the “option” of natural……it’s not as bad as it sounds :-)!
Don’t forget about me, your big sister. I am a pro at raising blood pressure so give me a jingle!!
