Makenzie informed me today that if I only made her brush her teeth for 2 minutes instead of 3 that she could gain at least an extra half hour of time per month to do other things. I informed her that she could spend that extra time at the dentist getting cavities filled. She decided 3 minutes a day wasn't so bad.
I don't usually keep score in the game of insta-parenting... but if I did, 1 point!
picture this... and laugh, it's ok it's even funny to me.
I am 31 lbs exactly (to the ounce) bigger than I was before being pregnant. Having this extra weight is like lugging a really heavy bowling ball that I can't put down. With 3 weeks to go, I still can't get used to it. With that being said, what had happened was...
I was in Target the other day, walking around when I realized my shoe was untied. I debated how to go about tying my shoe. Anyone who has ever been pregnant would know this is not an easy feat and in fact at 37 weeks I wasn't sure if I could do it. Most of the time, I ask my husband or I smartly wear clogs, not sure why today I decided on shoes that tie. I looked for a place to sit down but was afraid with my recent larger size that I may break something. So I decided to attempt to tie it myself, I bent down with the grace of hippopotamus attempting ballet, you have seen fantasia right? I actually think those hippos may display more grace and beauty than I did in Target. I begin to tie my shoe, when I realize my belly is cutting off the my airway.. and I am having a hard time catching my breath. I tried to tie faster, but got more panicked and realized I was actually fading out. I went to stand up and realized that I wasn't strong enough (due to lack of oxygen) to stand up! I have a choice, throw myself backwards and lay on the floor to regain my breath or finish tying my shoe, pass out and hope I don't injure anything. I chose tothrow roll myself backwards (with the prowess of a leopard, OK maybe not)... So yes, there I am my hippo self sprawled out in the middle of the aisle on my back, not even sure what to make of the event that just happened. I didn't see anyone around (hooray) so I rolled on my side, stood up brushed myself off and wondered if I was the only pregnant person in the world this has ever happened to? surely not, right?!
I wonder if target has security cameras, I certainly I made some security officers' day.
You can laugh, really it's funny.

sea horse
When we were in Disney World over Christmas we saw a Sea Horse exhibit in Epcot. Makenzie was very interested in them, so later that night we watched some videos about the Sea Horse. We discovered that the males give birth instead of the females.
Saturday morning I was having pretty severe back pain (I think I slept wrong). Makenzie says to me- "I bet you wish you were a Sea Horse, so the man could give birth"
ha! the image of Drew or any other guy giving birth is kind of funny!
