Pregnancy week 33-Moms, you’re hungry, yet repulsed by food

Moms, it’s just over one month before you’re greeted by your son or daughter. Put another way it’s just over 14 years away before you have to say “You’re not leaving the house like that are you”? Based on some fashion trends it may even be eight years before you have to say that. Continue reading Pregnancy week 33-Moms, you’re hungry, yet repulsed by food

Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

Pregnant ladies in the house, you’re all those things and a bag of chips. I’m kidding about the bag of chips because that may be one of the few things you don’t have a craving for. If you are craving a bag of chips then you can use another tired 90’s cliché like ‘talk to the hand’ or ‘don’t go there!’. Continue reading Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

Pregnancy week 31-Moms, you may be uncomfortable

Pregnant ladies, as you enter the later parts to the first half of your last trimester you’ve certainly noticed a couple of things. Dads, you’ve probably noticed these things too, but sometimes it’s best not to mention them to your spouse, they’re a little on edge now. But not you honey, you’re as normal as you ever were.

Week 25-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of an eggplant!

Moms, the past week has seen some major changes going on in that pregnant body of yours. Compare a photo of yourself at the 24^th week and now. See how much rounder your belly is?

Week 24-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of an ear of corn!

At this stage of the game the pregnancy has really started to hit home for all you Moms and Dads. You’re planning ideas for the nursery, kicking around names for the little one and keeping your eyes on the prize.

Week 22-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of a papaya!

Moms, your little person inside you is the size of a papaya! Dads, to put his in perspective, the next time you’re in the fruit and vegetable isle of your grocery store look for a papaya. A papaya is one of those strange foods that is both fruit and vegetable. It looks like a really large lemon with just a hint of dark green in some spots.

I’m in the store at least three times a week and aren’t sure if I’ve ever seen one. There is a section in the fruit isle with all sorts of strange things, it could be in there, but some of them scare me. It’s the island of lost toys for fruits: there’s the brown, sickle shaped thick thing with thorns and somewhere in there is probably the papaya. Unless your name is Gilligan or Beyr Grills you probably have no idea what a papaya is or how to eat one. Continue reading Week 22-Mom and Dad your baby is the size of a papaya!
