When's your baby due?

I am making a non-kid related post for a change. As most of you know, I don't mind poking a little fun at myself and this story will definitely give you a chuckle. (Hopefully, it will also prevent you from doing this to someone who may actually be more sensitive than me.)

I was playing outside on bikes with Dylan and Olivia last night when my neighbor (Kyle- for your benefit Bergs) pulled up to say hi. He was making small talk about the Strandbergs moving to Tennessee and other various nonsense. Then, he tried to be nice and asked me when our third baby was DUE!!!!! I calmly replied, "The one who is 3 months old?" :) He looked like he wanted to climb under the car. He started to stutter and slinked away into his garage. 5 minutes later his poor wife (who is pleasantly plump herself) came out to do damage control. I think it is because I really don't lack in confidence that I wasn't hurt by this initially. I just figured it was because I have been pregnant for 4 years on and off that he was confused. He had to be confused, right? Then it got even better.... the wife came out of the house and walked over to my driveway. She was apologizing profusely for him and went on to explained that it was because my shirt was baggy (it is maternity in his defense) and blah, blah, blah....So, in the end I knew it wasn't confusion. He thought I really still looked pregnant.

Note to self, STOP WEARING OLD MATERNITY CLOTHES!!! And, 10 days at the gym hasn't repaired what 3 pregnancies stretched out. Gotta keep working it....and, if all else fails copy exactly what Leslie is doing cuz she looks fabulous.

That's by far the funniest thing I've ever read on the Elder blog!

I had lunch with one of my best friends that I hadn't seen in a while, and she brought her sweet little devil, I mean daughter. Her daughter "whispered" to her mommy, "I know I'm not suppose to say this, but she still looks like she has a baby in her tummy."

Yeah, Anna was seven months old, so I've got you beat. :-)

I can't believe you didn't tell me this! At first I thought it was a kid...until the whole wife part:) This is why you should always keep baby strapped to you, like in the baby bjorn.

Oh Denise....lmao!!!
