We have a new language in our household. It comes from far away in the land of baby. It is the underlying theme in most conversations. And it is the direction that most conversations end in. This is talking about the baby, baby items, child rearing, child naming (HA), child birthing, and pregnancy.
It is interesting how our lives have shifted to this. For instance, Daniel asking "How are you doing?" or "How are you?" is now heard in my mind as "How are you feeling you human incubator?" So this question that used to be answered by me sharing my feelings is now answered with a run down of the physical ailments that I have that day.
I also have a new way to justify anything that I would like. And this is the phrase, "Pregnant women... blank, blank, blank." I just take a want or a need and I begin it with "Pregnant women." For example, if I would like seconds on dessert (or any food item for that matter). I just simply say "Pregnant women crave alot of sugar." When I was craving pickles its "Pregnant women need alot of salt." If I don't want to go anywhere, my reason is now. "Pregnant women need alot of rest.... I should rest." Or when I pick out most of the peanut butter cups from the moose track ice cream. "Well, Pregnant women need protein from Peanut butter :)"
So, baby Goulet you are really justifying my blame shifting. And if this method helps me get my way (which until now has been working.) I figure I'll use this for the next seven months or so.
