I wonder if I'll soon get tired of reading pregnancy "tips" and exhaustive lists of "do'a and don'ts. Jut like the world has commercialized EVERYTHING else, they've found numerous ways to make more than a buck off of what should be one of the most precious times in a woman's life. Websites like the bump.com and pregnancycenter.com are littered with countless advertisements of everything from umbilical cord preservation services to maternity bras. Blehhhhhhhh. Almost makes me nauseous again. I don't doubt that we will have to shell out money in the months coming (well lets face it, in the years coming lol) but can we just enjoy this time as new parents. All I want to know is how big the baby is and your website insists on selling me "belly bands" to place over my growing stomach so I can still wear my regular pants. I get it. Where there is a need, regardless of how weird or seemingly taboo (nipple cream anyone?), there will be someone with a hand stuck out to make a profit. This is America where capitalism reigns. As for me and my house, I think I'm going to hold out a few weeks longer even though my pants are snug as all outdoors and my dresses make me look like I had one too many helpings at mother's kitchen. It's the principal I suppose lol. In the meantime, I'll still keep checking the websites weekly to determine what uncommon and exotic fruit my baby's size will be compared to. Kumquat Simms?
Oh. Ok.
