Mama Brightside

Observations on pregnancy/my body:

A napkin in my lap is totally useless. Food doesn’t make it that far. I need to start wearing a bib.
Bright side: When the belly gets a little bigger, it can serve as a shelf.

When I start crying, I can’t stop.
Bright side: When I start laughing, I can’t stop.

Maternity pants with big huge elastic panels on the front are not attractive.
Bright side: No more worrying that the McGuyver-like contraptions holding up my regular pants will fail.

When people talk about poop, it makes me laugh. I have a feeling this will change.
Bright side: Farts are still probably going to make me giggle.

My belly button is getting shallower and shallower.
Bright side: No more belly button lint.

Sometimes when my lower back is sore I walk (and feel) like an old lady. I expect at some point the old lady will become a penguin (waddle waddle).
Bright side: I haven't really identified a bright side to this. Any ideas?

For some reason, a majority of maternity shirts are low-cut.
Bright side: Hello increased cup size! (Not cool in the workplace, though).

Some days my patience is so short for very stupid reasons.
Bright side: Automatic, socially acceptable excuse...hey, I'm pregnant!

Bright side: Who doesn't like old ladies or penguins? Boy scouts will probably help you cross the street.
