Of late




Marit turned one this week, so we celebrated with sweet friends and cake. It was fun, though she was a little overwhelmed with her new toys and had a tummy ache from the cake.


In other news, I have collected a few more "do not say to pregnant women" comments:
-"are you knocked up again?"
-"So how are you? Fat and Sassy?"
-the other one is too crude to put up here, but lets just say it compared me to urologists and was said in front of more than a few people....

what can you do, but laugh?

my MareMare. can't wait to take care of the little one.

ellen, what if I recognize something I've said in your list of don'ts?

Unknown said...

thanks to you, i'm now completely paranoid of talking to pregnant ladies.

can you suggest some helpful things to say?

oh dear...i hope i don't come across as too unreasonable or hormonal or emotional, though i am. the most appreciated comments are those of joy and excitement. also encouragement...such as: "they will enjoy being so close in age." or even "you look cute with that belly." you get the idea...
