Pregnancy On Ice



Where are those pregnancy parking spots when you need them? I waddled into Wal-Mart tonight, doing a slow-motion chase after Brock (I'm like one of those mail order foreign brides...always walking 15 feet behind my husband), wearing 10 year old heels (which is a danger within itself), frantically trying to wrap 3/4 of a pea coat around my enormous belly, and doing it on ice. Lesson to be learned: pregnancy should be considered a disability.

  2. It is way too cold to go to Walmart at night :) Enjoy your disability while it lasts! Would that be one of the few instances when you can be cured of your disability by having a kid? (trying to think of others that just go away randomly and can't really...)

  3. lol. Yeah, I think I'll be cured after it's over. :) It's hard, though. I'm not a good pregnant woman. :)

  4. My wal-mart has those spots for expectant mommies and I always want to run up and smack the old men that park there!

  5. I love those spots! I am always afraid (this is my 3rd winter pregnancy) of slipping on the ice...I retire my heels for the whole winter!

  6. Agreed. I told my friend at work who had her baby right before New Years that she should finish out her pregnancy parking in the handicapped spot right outside the entrance. The weather has been awful here and ice and pregnant women do not mix.

  7. I can only imagine how difficult and scary that would be. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you never fall on your butt while pregnantly walking on ice. As for your comment about lucid dreams...I haven't heard of that, but it's an interesting concept to consider. I never even considered having a part in molding my own dream. And I agree, if that's the case, I'd want to sleep for a while. :D

  9. I don't know if I would brave being at Wal-Mart during late stages of pregnancy. It's one thing to shit in Wal-Mart, it's another thing to shit out a kid in one. My momma shit me out in a Food Lion. When people ask me where I was born I just tell them Planet Earth because it turns into a long story about Food Lion and the local bar. Ugggh plus the cops were involved. See? Long story. Stay out of Wal-Mart for the sake of that creature that's about to cause you holy hell. :)

  12. Yes, pregnancy should be considered a disability and we should be allowed temporary plates for it. Only problem is, I remember when I was pregnant with my first and not really obviously pregnant until around eight months, it never failed I would always get those looks of "Why in the H are you parking there? You're not pregnant!" Our temporary permit should also grant us permission to knock ignorant people up the side of the head when they shoot those type of looks....Just because I didn't "look" pregnant didn't mean I wasn't feeling it and b****ing about it nearly every waking moment.

  16. We don't have pregnancy parking spots around here! They should be everywhere.

    Be careful!
