awkward....times a thousand.

because it's friday i thought i would squeeze two blog posts into one.. first, let's get the important post out of the way... i'm pretty sure it's no secret, but i am with child. (i've ALWAYS wanted to say that and be serious...because it's the weirdest way to say "i'm pregnant.")

we are SO excited! this little babe is due in April....and while that seems SO far away we know it will be here before we know it! i am just going to warn you...i am a complainer....sooooo April might not come as soon for you. sorry.

moving on....to something equally as important...awkward moments. now some of these have to do with the miniature semi-human looking organism that has taken up residence in my body and some have to do with just me and how awkward i am in normal life. oh and i've been told my numerous people that being pregnant magnifies and multiplies the number of awkward moments to ever happen to a person, and since i am about 9 times more prone to awkwardness than the average human i think we're in for a real enjoyable ride. here goesssssssss!


1. trying to explain to the flight attendant that the two older gentlemen you were flying with were your dad and uncle...not your significant others.


2. when the nurse at the doctor's office refers to your husband as "the father" because she doesn't think you're married.


3. throwing up in places other than the toilet...like mixing bowls....or target bags.


4. answering the door after devouring a whole bag of frozen blueberries...oh hi neighbor....yes i do know how to brush my teeth.


5. making small talk with someone because no one else in the group is responding to any of their statements...so you pretend to be interested.


6. when someone says, "if i didn't know you were pregnant i would just think you'd gotten fat." um thanks.


7. giada on the food network.


8. when the person sitting next to you on an airplane sees you have earplugs in, motions for you to take them out, then asks why you are wearing earplugs. it's so i don't have to talk to you, lady...


and there you have it! anything awkward happen to you lately??

When I was preggrs my sister kept telling me that I didn't even look pregnant. I just looked thick. Yeah, that was awesome. Congrats on baby p and can't wait for all the awkwardness that is sure to abound!

Okay funny post. But seriously you have an entire blog page that is photo-less! Could you be any more lame? Especially since I know you have an amazing camera!

...when a stranger at the bins runs from you when you ask if he is attached to a pillow...
...touching the same pair of underwear at the bins over and over...
...demoines iowa...
...the bins in general...
...almost wetting your pants because every bathroom within a 10 mile radius is closed for cleaning or under construction....
...just to name a few.
miss you

Congrats Betsy!! I've been waiting for this announcement since our little chat :). Oh the awkwardness is just beginning for you....being preggers is basically a walking awkward moment.

One day when I was trying to get pregnant this stranger (at work of all places) was HOUNDING me with questions about why I didn't have children. I did NOT want to answer but I realized the questions would NEVER stop unless I opened up a bit, so I told her I'd been trying for a LOOOOOONG time. Then the awkwardness...

She preceeds to go on and on and on and on about praying for a baby and then "receiving" the baby in my uterus. She said "we all ask, but don't receive." Pretty sure I was so unconfortable I thought I was gonna die and I was checking everywhere to make sure no one could hear this woman going on and on about my girly parts receiving a child from the spirits. Wow! It was PAINFULLY awkward.

Honestly! The prego awkward chats are crAZy and never ending! Total strangers tell you about their intimate details of their lives topics of which range from conception to delivery! Yikes! TMI is an understatement in most cases...so glad you finally announced it because last time I wanted to ask how you could handle the cleaning of the dead bird with a pregnant nose!!! I was dying for you! See you soon!

Congrats! Pretty sure your babe will be the cutest one ever.

The awkwards will really begin when random people start touching your belly. Like a 70 year old man in overalls and a wife-beater at the grocery store. No joke.

Good luck! I hope you start to feel better.
