Ah pregnancy

Here's how it went last night:

Emily: Aleks, I'm going to lose weight after I have this baby right? I'm not going to be big forever.

Aleks: (rubs Emily's belly) Of course! You're not going to have a big belly for the rest of your life.

Emily: (exasperated) Well, I know that! I'm not worried about the belly, it's this part that's growing too (grabs butt and thighs).

Aleks: (laughs) Yes. You'll lose weight once you're done being pregnant.

(Emily goes to the bedroom to change into her gym clothes and comes back out)

Emily: Aleks, do I look fat in this?

Aleks: (glances up from cooking) No, you look great.

Emily: You always look at my face! Look at the rest of me!

Aleks: (amused, but getting frustrated) Fine, do a 360. Come on.

(Emily slowly turns and shakes her booty to combat the insecurity she feels at having her husband critically examine her)

Aleks: Do you want the truth?

Emily: Yes.

Aleks: Well, you definitely look pregnant.

Emily: What does that mean?

Aleks: You have a belly.

Emily: But does my butt look pregnant?

Aleks: (rolls his eyes) No. You don't look gigantic.

Emily: So, not gigantic, but big.

Aleks: (laughs in exasperation)

(Emily realized at this point how ridiculous she is being and leaves for the gym.)


Thank you God for my wonderful husband who puts up with his crazy pregnant wife.
Only 6 1/2 more weeks honey!
