The Funny Side of Pregnancy

Most people that know me well are aware that I like to laugh at myself. Steve regularly comments that I can be silly and make him laugh. I believe laughter should be a part of everyday and if you aren't laughing at yourself someone else probably is, but its way more fun if you jump in. We all do funny things everyday - God definitely has a sense of humor. Pregnancy brings a whole new range of funny moments. A bodily noise no one in the room expected. Falling asleep at inappropriate moments (like 7pm on the couch).

One of the funniest times Steve and I have enjoyed together is the time when my baby bump was just starting to come out and i was absolutely obsessed with pointing it out 50 times a day to my husband. For awhile he'd indulge my excitment and laugh with me when I showed him how I felt that my baby bump was getting bigger. The funniest thing was after showing Steve my baby bump several times during the day, by the time it was time to go to bed that night, when I wanted him to take one more look at my bump, he just stood there laughing so hard, harder than he had laughed all day. When I asked him why he was laughing so hard, he told me that the thought going through his head at that moment was, "well, do you want some cookies or mac and cheese so it can get bigger?" We both had a good laugh that night although it was late and I wasn't very coherent. It was one of the funniest moments Steve and I have shared during the first trimester, and we are looking forward to more as we go into the 2nd trimester.

If anyone else has a funny story from a pregnancy they want to share please do!
