I can relate. When I was 17 and my brother was 14 I was often tempted to attack the little fucker. I never actually, you know, STABBED him though.

If by "pretty awesome while pregnant" you mean "nipple explosions", then I agree.

She's glowing! And the nipple thing is very normal for pregnant ladies.

(BTW, I didn't realize you were expecting until the whiskey tasting photos. Congrats! And please don't become one of those moms - aka Meme Roth.)

LESS IS MORE

Eating less a sacrifice?
Not by any means;
Life's extended and healthified
By sticking to beans and greens.

First to benefit from this
Is the hedonist
Looking for a Faustian deal
To head his pleasure list.

Gluttony's one of the seven sins,
The one he gladly kicks--
Longevity provides him more
Years for the other six!
