Deaf and Dumb

What's the title refer to? Mike.

First...deaf. Last Thursday Mike and I went to the doctor's office. As one would expect, there were several other ladies with bellies in the waiting room. I looked around the room and leaned over to Mike and asked "Do I really look bigger than all of these other women?" Without hesitation he replied emphatically "OH, DEFINITELY." He kindly added that I was still as beautiful as the day he married me. Um...OK.

So later when we were back in the room waiting for the doctor, Mike said casually "Well, I don't know, that one woman in the black outfit looked OK." Me: "Huh?" Mike: "She was dressed OK." Confused look from me. Mike: "Well, you still look better than her." Me: "I didn't ask if I looked BETTER than the other women...I asked if I looked BIGGER."

Second...dumb. The other day I was noticing in amazement at how my belly seems stretched to the limits. Can it really get bigger? And since it is so big and stretched I started to comment to Mike and Mom "My belly is SO tight!" But I only got out "My belly is SO..." and Mike chimed in "GIGANTIC!" I told him I was going to say tight, but thanks for making me feel like I may be effecting the tides!

Good news...the contractions seem to have subsided. We had an NST today. All was well with the Addison and Lily. They passed with flying colors. Despite being a small town, Athens had its second set of twins delivered in 2 weeks today. We're really grateful our doctors are getting the extra experience right before our deliveries.

For the longest time Teresa used to get mad at me for not responding to her questions fast enough. This is what happens when my brain cannot engage fully.
