Of course this is another post on pregancy!

You've been holding out for something deep and theological.
Sorry.
All you have to do is be pregnant or married to someone who is pregnant to know that you wait in vain.

First of all, i need to get it off my chest that i heard someone classify me as "plump." Can you believe it? The nerve! Of course, it was a 3 year old, and he did say it with affection....

Due to this unhidably "plump" condition of mine, anyone i bump into (with my plump belly - look out!) asks when i am due, etc. etc. This morning, the inquisitor was the Kroger checkout lady. When i answered her with a joyful and content, "Anytime within the next few days!" she followed up with the infamous, "So, do you know what it is?" Resisting the urge to answer, "We're certain it's a human, although my husband's side did raise goats," I replied that we never find out the sex of our baby before birth. And her response was great - one among the gems i've been blessed to receive from the minds of clerks. It was this:

"Well, i guess we're not given that many chances to be surprised in life. Why spoil it, eh!"
