27 Weeks on the 27th

February 27, 2009 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Just Me, Minnesota Me, Pregnancy Leave a Comment

I was going to participate in Jen’s 7 Quick Takes today but I just don’t have it in me. Too much time at the computer and my back cries out in protest…too much time spent on any activity and my back cries out in protest.

This is why:

A Blizzard, a Baby Bump, and Me

You see how much I love you, right? I am willing to drag my massive frame and aching back out into a raging Minnesota blizzard in order to achieve that “perfect” silhouette.

Okay, so it wasn’t exactly a raging Minnesota blizzard. I think we got, um, 7 inches or so.

But still.

I took my big belly out in it.

On Monday night, we attended a Mardi Gras party at the roller skating rink. The event was hosted by our parish and no, I didn’t opt to skate. I did, however, receive a passel of comments directed at my size and shape and the fact that I should be skating because that would be really hilarious to watch.

One friend, with whom I have a love/tolerate relationship, exclaimed, “Man! How many you got in there?”

I eyed him coolly.

“No, really.” He was visibly impressed by my girth. “You look like Octomom.”

I would have hit him but my back hurt.

All for the greater glory of God, as always,

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
