Well, I almost gave up on this blog. Not receiving any comments can be a discouraging thing! Except for my faithful Kyunghwa...thanks you guys!!!
Still, a good friend (you know who you are) encouraged me to continue writing despite all those 'lurkers' out there who just read the blog and don't comment! To make it easier, I've enabled "ANYONE CAN COMMENT" so you don't need to join in order to leave a comment. You do need to enter the word verification thing, just so I don't get any comments that say, "SINGLE TONIGHT!? CALL @#(*&(*&@#$ for a hot date." I hate those wormy ads that make their way into your blog comments. What will they think of next? If one's blog comments aren't off-limits, is there anything sacred left?
Anyhoo, seeing as we just passed our halfway mark in the pregnancy, I thought I would sum up what I have learned thus far in the form of a list. And here it is...in no particular order.
1. More research goes into a baby registry than a masters-level exegesis paper on the role of women in 1 Timothy 2:9-15 according to early rabinnic traditions. Seriously, I've compared...
2. On that note, "Honey, can we stop by Babies 'R Us for a MOMENT?" never really means A moment, maybe MANY moments strung together, but that would be too many to count. Or maybe the statement's misleading because she never really defines what a moment is...
3. There are a host of gadgets out there that I have no idea of what they actually do.
4. After discovering what a breast pump does, I realize that I really don't want to know what that host of gadgets out there really do.
5. "I'm pregnant" is woman talk for "No, you do it."
6. You can get away with anything when you're pregnant. Sarah was coming down the stairs, and I was already in the car, and asked her to grab my phone (she was only half the distance), but she looked at me and yelled "I'm pregnant!" (refer to #5 - that means "No!". I imagine a judge granting a sentence to a pregnant woman who happens to be a murderer.
Judge: "Ma'am, what you did was awful. You killed all of these people, and it's been proven. What's your defense?"
Pregnant Woman: "Guilty, and I'm pregnant."
Judge: "What?! Then by all means, you're free to go."
7. Men have nothing that even remotely compares with the pregnancy excuse. Would "I'm passing a kidney stone" work?
8. The size of your bed diminishes when the woman is pregnant. Not only must you accommodate for the belly, but the body pillow and the fetal position associated with the body pillow. That calculates to roughly 2/3 of your bed space being occupied by pregnancy. Young men, who are on the verge of marriage, and want to have children, purchase your future bed size accordingly.
9. Nothing makes you pray more than the thought of your baby growing inside the womb of the woman you love. You really realize God's total control over everything because He truly is the One who knits us together...
10. Nothing makes your wife lovelier than as she grows and carries the child in her womb. There truly is a glow about her!!!
Well, that's what I've learned so far. I suppose there's a lot more, but it fits really nicely when you can get it in 10 things...NOW GET TO COMMENTING!!! =p

Yes it can be discouraging when there are no comments, but please persevere! And while you're at it, comment on mine! :D I love the updates and you crack me up.
Sarah looks so cute with her preggo belly. What a blessing it is that it has been relatively easy pregancy! (I hear it's this way when you're carrying boys.)
*sigh* I miss being pregnant.
No, no there isn't a little sibling for Nate Jr. in the works. Yet.
Maybe you should remind people of Baby Lee's blog on your xanga pgs?
here's the problem after pregnancy, the next statement that comes is "I carried your child for 9 months!!!!" Face it you're never going to win.
