Reflections on Easter while pregnant:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Having running water in the large, seasonal baptismal font (more like a jacuzzi) in church is a very bad thing, especially when mass is longer than usual.<\/li>\n
  2. Not eating lunch because dinner is at 4 and breakfast was at 10 is a very bad idea, especially when it causes one to pick at the velveeta cheese and artichoke leaves…all afternoon.<\/li>\n
  3. Eating for two at Grandma’s should mean eating less than is customary for one, since there just isn’t room for baby and a full stomach in there. Oh, and desserts should be completely off-limits.<\/li>\n
  4. If the above is not followed, large amounts of Tylenol and Tums should be taken before bed, to prevent agita.<\/li>\n
  5. If the above advice is also not taken, one should expect to not be able to sleep. At all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other than that, though, yesterday was a very nice day. Almost our whole extended family was there – just my “baby” brother who couldn’t come home from college and a significant other or two were missing. Little Benjamin was the star of the party, of course, and I tried not to hog him, but it’s just so nice to hold little babies. I kept having to remind myself that I would soon have one of my own to hold as much as I want. (And I’ll probably be happy to have other people do most of the holding in big family gatherings, too!)<\/p>\n

    I promise, tomorrow, a big crafty post. All the work is done, I just have to find some energy to write. Maybe I’ll get some sleep tonight…where’s the Tums bottle?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
