Before this pregnancy comes to fruition, Heather and I thought it would be fun to share our Top Ten favorites things about being pregnant. So here goes,
10. Timing. Man, did we luck out! All went as planned (whatever) and Heather will enjoy taking the rest of the school year off and have the entire summer with our little guy.
9. Dining out savings. Mama likes the wine and now she's off the sauce.
8. Sharing the same clothes. Not sure which one of us that makes feel worse!!! And no, I'm not donning maternity wear!
7. String Cheese, or any cheese for that matter. Heather loves cheese. She has a book about cheese. Nuff said.
6. Morning lube sessions. Heather's morning rubdown with Palmer's Cocoa Butter successfully fighting the good fight against stretch marks. And she thought I was sleeping!
5. 3-D Ultrasounds. The underlying concern that resulted in the generation of the 3-D shots was not so much fun, but how cool is it to see renderings of your unborn child!!!
4. Baby Bargains. The Consumer Reports of baby gear. Oprah endorsed this book, and those of you who know me well know what I think of Oprah, so the fact it made this list means something.
3. Discovering the Snoogle. Have to admit, we both fight over this one. Heather usually wins, but it is 2-1, so the odds are in her favor. As feminine as this product may seem, I do have to say to the guys that the snoogle doesn't fight back.
2. Tummy time. Spending time with junior while he kicks, jabs, squirms, and hiccups his way around Mommy's belly.
And finally,
1. The shared experience of starting a family and the fun we've had bringing you all along the journey.
We'd love to hear from you all about some of your favorite pregnancy experiences.
All for now.

Some of my favorite pregnancy memories have to do with my lapses in memory. Wait, what were we talking about?? ..... Anyhow, I kept forgetting the dumbest things. Like I'd wash and condition my hair, and then step out the shower, get dressed, and take the towel off of my head to find I still had an unrinsed head full of conditioner! Or the time I made grilled cheese sandwiches for my family and the Wilcox's, and Ruthie bit into her sandwich to find two nicely toasted pieces of bread without any cheese in the middle! I told her it was from my "Lite Menu"!
Can you say chocolate chip pancakes and rootbeer? I don't think Scott looked at me too strange when I ate that all the time! Yummy, yummy, yummy!!! Oh yea, and watching the "mexican jumping bean," otherwise known as Riley, in my stomach. Shelby was known as "the blob." Hours of entertainment were gained from watching my "bump" move from one side of my abdomen to the other.
