Oh thanks a lot Sally! Whoopee, I can't wait to fill this out! Anything that can add to the baby fever I already have will be very helpful, Thanks! Unfortunatly I won't be able to fill it out until I get back next week, sorry! But, I promise I will do it! Just for you! You look so tiny in that picture! I forgot how cute you were as a pregnant lady! I will call you next week and walk through the steps you need to rotate your pic. so we can see your tiny little belly better! I wish I was that samll when I was pregnant! If only Kailey hadn't peed so much...and I retained so much water! What a little pisser! Welp have a great weekend! It was fun to talk to you today, I'm glad to know your still alive! Thanks for putting my mind at ease! I love reading about your pregnancy again...oh man you are not helping my cure my baby fever!

Aww! What a cutie! You looked stoked in that picture. haha I have a few things to say about your survey, but I can't right now. People are over and I have to socialize. : ) So I'll tell you later! I just wanted to read what you wrote real fast.

Trapper and Suzy said...

Okay, I'm finally back. Good thing you reminded me about those comments. I forget EVERYTHING these days. Like today, I almost walked out of the grocery store having stolen paper towels that were at the bottom of the cart. *sigh* Two weeks ago, I accidentally stole two bags of candy 'cause they were conveniently hiding behind the carseat in the car. Sheesh. Don't worry, I took them back. haha
OKay! What I wanted to say was your pregnant picture is AMAZING. Maybe it's just my opinion, but I feel like I was so much bigger! I asked Trapper but he didn't think so, so maybe it's just me. Also, I didn't cry either. The exhaustion was just too much. I thought I would, but I was having a hard time just catching my breath. It was an incredible moment, nonetheless. Last thing, GOOD JOB getting the weight off and even more! I'm inspired. I heard you're kickboxing! That sounds so fun. Was it hard to do at first? One last question and that'll be it: Did you get stretch marks? from the pregnancy...not the kickboxing. haha
