The Making of Fatso

Mass: n. the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field.

When comparing the mass of Andy to Stacy it is always Andy on the heavy side of the scale. And this is a fact that Stacy has come to appreciate as a fundamental truth in our relationship.

It is no secret that women gain weight when they are pregnant. To maintain my weight dominance Stacy has implemented a new plan to keep my weight in step with hers. I have been showered with Dairy Queen Blizzards of all sorts of delicious flavor combinations (she really has taken advantage of my food weaknesses). I am also encouraged to have seconds and to avoid physical activity at all costs.

So far I have gained close to 8 lbs. And frankly the process is enjoyable, but my overall health seems to be degrading quickly . I want to be supportive, but I'm not sure I can keep up.

Boxer

This kid is strong!  I don't remember Sydney and Tyler causing this much discomfort from kicking and moving.  This baby though makes massive movements that actually stop me in my tracks and cause me to try to shift it's position.

Normally I love the movements cause it is just really cool, and also reassuring.  But this is crazy. I hope things calm down soon cause this baby is only going to get stronger as time goes on!

Big Brother and Sister

Sydney and Tyler both got to feel the baby move today. Tyler has tried a few different times and was very interested in being able to feel a kick. So, I was excited for him. His eyes lit up, then that was it...he was over it.

I also was able to see my stomach move as the baby moved around today. Now Andy and the kids can have some extra entertainment. I already get comments from the kids about my 'big tummy', so I can only imagine the comments will get more frequent now!
