Excuses
1. I am very busy. Busy, busy, busy. I am also very important, such that the planet cannot continue to rotate on it’s axis without my constant engagement. I also have super powers, such as the ability to use my psychic abilities to diagnose and fix problems on a server in Omaha and to make all others bend to and obey my every whim. Therefore, all idiots should immediately cease speaking to me as it disturbs my concentration.
2. I am very hungry. Hungry, hungry, hungry. I must dedicate every moment of free time to finding, procuring and consuming food. About six weeks ago I lost my appetite entirely and had to force myself to eat. My appetite came back. Apparently, all 6 weeks worth at once. I hesitate to look at pictures of food for fear I will eat them. I am considering working from home so I can just sit in my fridge and shovel food into my mouth. Hey, are you going to finish that?
Hey - since I am so busy and hungry and boring, why don't you all go congratulate Jenny, Daddy and Big Brother on the birth of the healthy and certainly beautiful Madeline Grace?

Posted by: Mary Jo at April 28, 2005 02:29 PMI totally get the hunger thing. When I was pregnant I ate everything in site. One time, in one sitting, I ate an Entire box of pasta, with a entire bottle of sauce on it. Me, little me. It was crazy.
Posted by: Autumn at April 28, 2005 02:44 PMI ate apples and ketchup. Hope you find something that makes a little more sense...
(I wish I was kidding.)
Posted by: Queen of Ass at April 28, 2005 03:22 PMI have some sundried tomato and basil wheatthins here. would you like some? I need to stop snacking on them.
Posted by: kat at April 28, 2005 04:55 PMoh pregnancy hormones. Hormones period. I hate how they make me into a complete eating machine. It's something I haven't been able to get rid of since my very first pregnancy. Not good, people. Not good.
Posted by: sleepingmommy at April 28, 2005 05:00 PMLove the name Madeline Grace. If I didn't already suggest it for your kid, I am now!
Posted by: erin at April 28, 2005 05:30 PMi am always hungry!
Posted by: lizabetty at April 28, 2005 05:52 PMWow, you can make others bend to and obey your every whim? Is that a skill that can be learned?
I remember one of my friends saying "I can't believe I'm eating again -- or is that still?!" when she was 7 or 8 months pregnant. Hungry, hungry, hungry must just come with the territory.
Posted by: bad penguin at April 28, 2005 06:11 PMBut I only want to bother YOUUUUUUUUUUUU! :)
You can have the rest of my fries!
Posted by: Kate at April 28, 2005 06:51 PMI have some leftover spagehetti.... :D
Posted by: Sweety at April 29, 2005 02:08 AMIt must be all that super power that holds your belly button in ( hahaha)
Posted by: annie at April 29, 2005 09:29 AMI don't have super powers but my kids do. They have this potion that keeps multiplying the laundry no matter how much washing I do ;)
When I was preggie last I had to have lime popsicles, watermelon and ranch dressing on anything and everything.. haha. Have fun eating, its the one time you don't have to worry about it ;)
Posted by: Chrissie at April 29, 2005 11:15 AMhow funny. a friend just had a baby girl about a week ago and she named her madeleine grace too. after a week of having the baby home, though, they chose to go with something else. i can't remember the last time that happened. all the proper paperwork has since been filed so the 2nd name better be the right one is all i have to say. :D
