Smells Like Children.

Well, Sunday I'll be 6 weeks. As you can see, I went to the mall to get some pants that actually FIT me... the kind that you can adjust the belt/string thing. My breasts have grown a cup larger and I know that because I'm falling out of my size D bras. Lord, help me. They hurt all the time. My stomach is stretching so if I eat a huge meal, it hurts forever. The other night, I ate a huge meal at 8pm and my stomach was still hurting at 11:30pm. I just read that I'm not suppose to eat big meals, but small, frequent ones.

Everyone I've spoken to is pretty excited. I think Aubrey is more excited than anyone...sometimes I wish that HE was the one having to go through this! Aubrey's dad, on the other hand, had a pretty lame response...

Dear Aubrey and Danielle,

Congratulations on the news from Aubrey last night. I am sure you will take care of yourselves and the baby will be a healthy and happy addition to your new family.

Love always,

Daddy

That response is actually a great one compared to the one that Aubrey thought he was gonna get. He thought maybe his dad was gonna be like, "Son, I don't think you're quite ready to have children yet." I mean, just the other week, his dad was like, "Son, I'm glad you're finally getting out on your own and making your own decisions." Aubrey about fell out of his chair. He has been taking care of his mom and brother (cooking, cleaning, taking care of yard and maintenance work) for years because his dad has always been 12 hours away working as a field engineer. "Son, I think you need to finish college and become an engineer (like me)." Eh...

Anyway, everything is fine so far... this doesn't mean I'm falling under the spell of the Mommy Bloggers... no yet, anyway :P
