Happy Pregnancy

This was me last night.... working away in a Spinning Class at the YMCA. My sister invited me to tag along with her because the Y is open to visitors until the New Year.

Thankfully it was only a 45 minute class because it was sure hard. Carrying 20+ extra pounds sure makes a difference!! Afterwards a guy from the class came up to me and said "Geez, that class almost put me into labor and I'm not even pregnant!"

It's so fun to be pregnant.... I swear I've had more conversations with strangers than ever before.

Last week, we went out with some friends for dinner and while waiting for a table, we sat up to the bar. The bartender said, "I bet your having a shot of whiskey tonight." I said, "Yeah, but make it a double." Oh, the chuckles we had!

Another thing I like about being pregnant... and this may be bad to say... but it gets me out of some things that I really have no interest in participating. There were a lot of old friends in town for Christmas and they all wanted to meet at a local pub and catch up. They were calling it the High School Reunion, part II. Needless to say... hanging out in a bar while pregnant came as a very welcomed excuse. Casey was sure happy to ride the coat tails on that one too. It's not that I don't like seeing people from the past, it's just that I've kept in touch with many of the people I have wanted to.

And we are nearing the count down, people. Can you believe it's almost 2008? That means Casey Jr. will be here soon (2ish months). Crazy!
