Reminds me of being pregnant with Teen Queen


I was a full two weeks past my due date, and when she did arrive, she was 9 lbs 8 oz. I was HUGELY pregnant, waddling, and generally scared the shit out of everyone around me. If I sneezed or coughed, everything came to a silent halt until they were sure I didn't drop the kid. I was teaching at the time and had to go to graduation ceremony one week before I finally delivered. You know those huge black robes people wear to graduation? Yeah, mine looked like a tight black dress. The crowd was chatting, noisy, as the faculty filed on stage. Until I stepped out. I swear everything came to a complete halt as I walked across the stage and there was an audible collective sigh of relief when I finally sat down.

  2. Our first kid was born about 10 days after my wife's college graduation. Looked like a damn float in her graduation gown - she was huge (but still beautiful). Of course she was emotional as hell - she deserved that one though.

    My aunts were sitting in the bleachers and overheard some of the people next to them discussing my wife's appearance.

    YOU SEE THAT LADY - SHE'S PREGNANT. AND SHE'S GONNA HAVE THAT BABY NOW!!
