together we're heavy

yesterday, elliott & i went to visit my cousins who were in town (one lives about 1 hr. away, and the others were visiting from NYC & edmund, ok. janelle, the youngest of the sisters is engaged & getting married in feb. (yay!), and julie & jennifer (the identical twins that make me think? fear? that i could be a mother of 2 at once) have both had children within the last year. they were filling me in on everything i could expect. i'll give you a quick recap: going to the bathroom more than i already have been while pregnant; crying uncontrollably for no particular reason; and my biggest fear: giving birth to a "beaty-sized" baby. this one i must explain further. my dad was the biggest baby ever born at st. mary's hospital in KC-11 lbs. his brothers, who are twins-we have many in my family :O, weighed 16 lbs. together. a normal set of twins apparently should weigh about 8 lbs.!! julie & jennifer's last babies both weighed a significant amount too! yikes! what does this mean for me?!?!? ahhhhhh! it's fruit, veggies, and lean meats from now on...but i really want to go dive in to the left over potato salad.
4 more pickles last night...i really despise being cliche, but mmmmmmmmmmmm...
can't wait to hear the results of the sono from olivia on tuesday!!! lucky duck! me, still waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the end of july to get here as quickly as possible (not going to happen) for my first visit!
happy 4th to everyone!
