I Bet.....

1. .....none of you have a special "spit cup" by your bedside like I do for nighttime coughfests and hocker launching.

2. .....none of you get to cup your crotch like I do every time you cough right now. The attacks are so sudden and fierce and the baby growth doesn't help the bladder or any clinching I might try.


3. .....none of you get treated like some sort of violator every time you change a diaper. "Pee pee....no no." He wags his finger at me as if I, the mother and the penis wiper, have crossed the stranger danger no touch zone.


4. .....none of you ensure your coughing fits occur around your husband so that he still feels it is unsafe to share a bed with you, leaving you to bask alone at night with uninterrupted sleep.


5. .....all of you had a wonderful Christmas despite all obstacles that weather, time, and family can create.


6. .....all of you will have a fabulous start to your 2010 because we will ring it in together, albeit separately, with thoughts of health and happiness for one another.


7. .....all of you are tired of my ramblings and ready for some photos. They will be coming this weekend. Promise.


8. .....all of you need to know that despite laying out the debit card for my husband to use at the store last night, he stole my cash. Bastard.








Have a very happy Thursday, a very merry New Year's Eve, and a very safe start to your 2010!

*T.O. at a very young age.*

You know what really sucks? I am not pregnant but having had 4 kids means that I....like you....am cupping my crotch when I cough because...well, you know why. LOL

since we are a one vehicle family...and my husband has to work...I will be safely at home tonight with the kiddos. Watching Movies. Eating popcorn.

Happy New Year!!!

Tooj, you never fail to make me smile (or laugh)... happy new year my friend. All the best for 2010. xoxo

Yes to #2!!I remember those not so long ago days! :)

Danica said...

Happy New Year girlie! I hope it's a good one.

And #4 does apply to me. LW has been staying away since I've been sick. He won't even sit on the couch with me. Thankfully I'm better. But he's got the cold now too. Serves him right for not sitting next to me!

I don't think you could have given me a better present: reminding me to thank my lucky stars for surviving 2009 without being pregnant! YAY!

Hope you have a great one ;)

Cammie said...

I will out myself. I have very recently coughed myself into a little piddle.

there. I said it.

Rebecca said...

I agree with Dorkys Ramos - thanks for today's dose of birth control!

Seriously though, sorry about the coughing and crotch-grabbing :(.

Happy New Year!

All funny except the spit cup - ooohhhh. Is Nyquil off limits when you're prego? I am pretty sure the answer is yes, but I will secretly hope you can figure out something. Happy New Year, Tooj!!!!!

Hello Jessica,

It was fun to read the comments that your post evoked!

It just really and truly sucks that the husband does not physically bear the weight of the pregnancy. I look at the photo of T.O. and think that it must all be worth it.

I hope that you feel better starting today. I wonder if you can eat raw garlic? That usually does the trick for me.

I saw that you were busy yesterday catching up on my posts. I hope that my writing provided good entertainment for you and helped to lighten your day.

Here's to wishing you an incredibly wonderful labor and peaceful baby in the new year!

P.S. Pregnant women are exonerated from having to smile if they don't feel like it.

That sucks...I've got a Christmas cold too...love seeing the family, don't love when they give me their illness!!

I wish you Health, Happiness and Humor in 2010!

I come from a family of weak bladders - get be laughing hard enough and I'm running to the bathroom. Or a surprise sneeze and oops! God help me if/when I get pregnant.

I might bet ya, but I'd need some odds...

Happy New Year!!

My cousin had a spitting thing the last two times she was preggos. But she used napkins....lots and lots and lots of gross napkins.
