BIG....like an elephant.

Last night I had a mani and pedi with a couple of girlfriends. While relaxing in the lovely massaging chair at the nail salon, my nail lady says to me;

 “Your legs are starting to swell!”

“Well, thank you so very much for noticing, Nail Lady! Why yes, my legs are starting to retain water rather nicely, aren’t they?” --- Okay, so I didn’t actually say that. But the thought did cross my mind. 

For dinner I decided to make things better by gorging myself on fried, sodium rich Chinese food. By the time I got home I was feeling rather plump from the shoulders down. I have two words to describe the rest of the evening….

Poor Matt. 

Yep, that’s right. I never thought I would be “that girl” but there I was!
“My thighs are so fat”
“Matt, look at this… I’m so gross!”
“There is no way I am going to squeeze myself into any type of bathing suit this summer!”
“Waaaahhh…. Waaaahhh…. Waaaahhhh”

I thank God every day for my husband. I don’t know what I would do without him.

On another baby note, my cousin Anna mentioned to me that elephants carry their young for something like 22 months. That being said, I am decorating our little guys room in baby elephant décor. 

Kudos to you, Momma elephants!
