I Heart You Elastic Waist-Band Maternity Pants or Ode to the Maternity Pant

This Thanksgiving, not only will I be grateful for the little baby growing inside me but also for the new discovery that has changed my life…elastic waist-band maternity pants. After years of sucking in my stomach, it’s a relief to finally let it all stick out there with the support and give of the maternity pant. I also have to give a shout-out to the “Belly-Band” an elastic waist band that allows you to keep your “regular” pants unbuttoned, but yet holds up your pants. It’s such a wonderful invention that our friend Adam is considering buying one for Thanksgiving.
So, this Thanksgiving, when your pant buttons are about to pop, please think of me and my elastic waist band pants, as I go for yet another helping of green bean casserole.

What Have You Done For Me Lately?

As many expectant husbands or fathers probably know by now, there's no "one-upping" a pregnant lady.

The other evening, Leif and I were debating on which one of us should unload the dishwasher. Leif began listing all of the nice things he had done for me that day: drove me to work because of the snow and ice, folded the laundry, etc. He then looked at me and said "what have you done for me today?"

I looked at him, put a hand on my little baby belly, and said "I carried your child, that's what I did for you today."

Needless to say, Leif unloaded the dishwasher that night.

Halloween

In honor of Bobbi getting the H1N1 flu shot, we decided to dress up as Swine Flu for Halloween.  Enjoy!
