When I was younger and thinner, I was often compared to Steven King or Al Franken.
I’m like “Hey! Those are not good lookin guys!” 
There have been an array of surprisingly disparate-looking celebs. The confusion has made me think I’m a bit of a shapeshifter. And yes, I DON’T look like them. They sort of - sort of - look like ME. 
But enough of me. Jessie’s asked us for our will.
Hmmm… I made pasta arabiata ( the one with the red peper flakes) for my wife when our 2nd child was due- she went into labout about 4 hours after dinner
This thread has made me laugh out loud! Thanks. I needed it, because I just returned from a doctor’s appointment and they tell me nothing is going on down there yet. Hmph!!!
My mom, who is here with me (on labor watch, because last pregnancy I ended up driving myself to the hospital), and who picks things up for me from the floor if I drop them, because I can’t bend that far, says I look like a “beached whale.” 
If I were not pregnant and someone said I looked like Mama Cass, I’d feel seriously insulted. But I find it funny right now. I actually like the look of my belly now (I hate carrying it around, though!!).
People have compared me to Angelina Jolie since before she was a big star. She’s thinner than I am (I mean when neither one of us is pregnant), but I can see the similarities.
I agree with the “You are beautiful” folks. There’s just something about that pregnant glow …
OK, enough of that. Here’s what my wife did with our first to ‘help things along’. The doc <

Aside from that, you have my Baby-get-out-of-there prayers …
Beige, I think I’ll paint the walls beige… 
Oh, yeah? Well, in one of my computer repair classes in high school, everyone called me Meat Loaf.

I just sprayed tea onto the monitor.
I love it, djm!
I just added another picture to the first post. It’s the standing view. I think it’s more accurate. By the way, in case it isn’t clear, my pants are drooping (big) in the back…my butt isn’t a foot long.
Jessie, two words: balsamic vinegar
Determination of the proper method of application is left as an exercise for the student.
It’s pretty good on salad
Dude. Extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. All else is more than necessary.
Munch on that, Jessie, and you’ll forget your beachedwhaleitude.
I stand corrected. Sorry, Cran.
Speaking of standing, I dig the new pic. What a coy pose!
With our first we tried WW’s first suggestion, without apparent success.
Then (a night or two later) we had a really hot curry and went to a Filum. (Movie). And it all happened later that night.
Hot Curry. I recommend it.
Scary movie, was it?
Can’t remember a thing about the filum, except that the seats were uncomfortable. Maybe that was some form of couvade contagion…
Well, our first was born 3 weeks and 2 days early. We’d had an argument…then we, um, made up. My water broke the next morning.
I am 6 days more pregnant than I was when she was born. I guess we need to have an argument.
you need to have a what?!
No you don’t!
(Now YOU say “Yes, I do!”)
