Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts

I became an instant hero when I taught D and E this song on a roadtrip. It has now been sung thousands of times for friends, family, teachers and people in line at the hardware store. Abuela (my mom) had to try to one-up me later this summer by teaching them songs about eating cow manure and vomiting. It's so appropriate that the kids have a love of talking about disgusting bodily functions and we felt that the title of this blog really captured the essence of our family's spirit.

I am trying to psyche you all out by my silence. I am stll pregnant. At least I think I am still pregnant. This picture makes it look like I am still pregnant. I am beginning to think that perhaps I just have a bowel obstruction that looks like a human fetus on ultrasound. Well, I have decided to agree with the doctor about inducing me on Monday if nothing happens by then. So, I suppose there'll be a baby born some time at the beginning of next week. 0Jeff and I went out to eat last night at our favorite Thai restaurant to celebrate our five year anniversary. One of his coworkers promised us that spicy food would bring on labor. It didn't. It is crazy to reminisce about how much we've done and how much our lives have changed in the last five years. Some people even consider us adults...weird. I got taunted at a rugby game a couple of weeks ago after asking an antagonistic, annoying fan to calm down as there were impressionable children present. He retorted to my polite request with the words, "OK MOM! Thanks, but I already have a mom - MOM!" The "MOM" was definitely emphasized with a disdainful tone and I was thinking to myself "why is that guy calling me MOM?" Oh yeah, I have a 7 year old, 6 year old and am 9 months pregnant, I suppose I look like a mom. And why was the word MOM being used as an insult? Weird.
