It definitely makes grocery shopping easier. I have yet to challenge Jose to go shopping, but pretty soon he will have to tackle this if he wants to eat.
I would also say that when I shop this way, I definitely save money at the grocery! I can walk out with feeding my family for $100 a week (if that) including lunches, dinners, snacks, and breakfast. Not to bad of a deal! And typically I go a week and a half before I feel like I need to go shopping again for anything.
As far as prego goes, I'm done. Not really, but I wish I was. I'm just counting down the days. We're at 5 weeks now, but I'm planning for no more than 4. The heat finally has to kick in as I'm miserable enough with out it. I was telling someone that I feel like I have a 1 yr old playing around in my belly, wanting to come out. And my mom sends me a text this week saying " I just saw on the news a 16 lb baby was born recently. 24 inches long with a chest size of 17 inches. So stop complaining! :) "
But are you kidding me? I would have shot my Dr if that was the case. Ok, not really but I probably would have punched them for sure. I'm all for waiting for the baby to come natural, but man you had to have been way off on that one! 16 pounds! Thats the size of a 3 month old! Makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it! Can you imagine the 6 week check up of that child? That child sounds like the next Andre the Giant. Anyway, I can appreciate my mom for helping me put things into perspective. I"m not going to have a 16 lb baby, maybe 8 or 9 lbs, which I'm sure I can handle.
Anyway, I'm hanging in there, big belly and all. I do feel better when people tell me that from behind I don't even look pregnant. It makes getting through the day easier. So if you see me, please feel free to indulge me a little with that comment. I don't care if it is true or not at this point.
