Uh-oh…coughs…

Well, it’s Thursday morning and thats 2 nights in a row that Rylan has got out of his bed and came in our room at 3 in the morning.  This time though, a little friend was tagging along with him, that’s right he brought in a fever!  So you know what that means!  First him, then he will give it to Taylor, then Crystal or I will get it!  Oh, I guess it’s just “the circle of liiiiiiiiiife”… (sung to the theme from Lion King).  Also, Crystal and I had a doctors visit yesterday and everything checked out fine.  She was excited that she didn’t gain any weight in the last 2 weeks, but there was this other gaggle of ladies sitting in there and one girl was tearing up exclaiming, “Omg I can’t believe I gained 2 pounds, can you believe it mother? 2 POUNDS!”  I was like….c’mon lady, you have a CHILD growing inside your body, and I told her that right then and there, yeah….ok….maybe not my place, but I get tired of some of these vain pregnant ladies worrying about such small things like, 2 pounds, or 15 pounds, or swollen parts, or thinking that they are ugly, or they might have droopy skin, or they may not fit back into a certain pair of pants!  You know what?  The weight can come off, things will stop swelling, you are beautiful, skin is elastic, and you can buy some different pants!  The big picture is that you….a MOTHER…have just CREATED A LIFE!  That’s a baby you had, not just something that was here for 9 months and then just, was never there!  Be proud of what you have accomplished.  You have done something that some people would kill to be able to do, and I didn’t forget about you Dads, you are apart of this also….good job!
So, before you look so deeply at those vanity pounds you got lying around, look at those beautiful blessings that are right in front of you!

Late,
Ryan
