39


5 pieces of advice on interacting with a grossly pregnant woman:

- Do not call her "grossly pregnant."
- Do not tell her to get her sleep now. She understands that you mean well, and that sleeping will be even worse once there is a baby to take care of, but at 39 weeks of pregnancy sleeping is close to impossible. Telling her to sleep is like a slap in the face.
- Do not tell her about all of the people you know who had their baby early. Most pregnancies last the full 40 weeks, if not longer. This is the norm. Do not tell her of all the exceptions to this rule. Do not tempt her with stories of babies coming within the last 4 weeks of pregnancy, because she will then start to think that maybe her baby will come a little early. Thinking this makes the last month of pregnancy...unbearable.
- Try not to look at her belly. It's hard. Basically impossible. But try not to, especially when she's a stranger walking by you in Target. She's already well aware that it exists.
- If you are her husband, do not tell her that you hope she doesn't go into labor yet because you aren't ready. She is ready. And she will consider it the pinnacle of cruelty that you hope she stay in her current state any longer.

And now documentation of our lives.


Utah needs a Raisin Cane's. All in favor?
This location is full of college kids and we kind of  feel like we still fit in. But then I am reminded that I'm old when I try to bend over to eat a fry and am stopped by my 9 month pregnant belly. Hashtag wake up calls.


We are officially no longer associated with our old apartment. Sing praises. Although remembering the times and growing we did there brought my sentimentality to the surface.


Someday we'll be road bikers.


And then we started playing around with Harry's remote photo taking ability from his watch. Pretty, I know.

peace and stretch marks
