Not eating too much

18 weeks and counting.

So I'm starting to show and people are starting to comment.

My least favorite is when people comment and think they are being supportive/reassuring...
"Don't worry, you don't look pregnant. You look like you've just eaten a lot."

I'm not exactly sure why that is supposed to make me feel good because that is precisely what I do NOT want people to think.

You ask what we've registered for?

So many of the things the baby "needs" are boring things that either make us feel better as American parents or things that baby just wants so he can show off (Babies are materialistic and need alot of validation, in case you didn't know.)--you name it: bath wraps, mobiles, stuffed animals, diapers, the list never ends.

And if there's anything the singular heroine of the 80's taught us, it's that we need to STOP THE INSANITY!

Finally a new book will allow us all to parent in peace.









My favorite chapter name is "Imagination: an Unaffordable Luxury."

You can buy this book at Stupid.
