Sweets...

Ever since we starting telling people that we are expecting, certain individuals have been trying their best to get me to give into my addiction with sweets. Eric and I don't keep a lot of junk food around the house, but lately he has convinced me that it is imperative to have dessert...every night. Really I think he is exploiting the situation. Especially when you consider that a pregnant woman really only needs an additional 200 calories a day - that is the equivalent of a large glass of juice. The other night he came home with two cobblers and a pint of ice cream. The week before, pumpkin pie.

Today, a good friend of ours, we will call her Amy H. to protect her identity....wait, too obvious. We will call her A. Horton, decided to leave an entire one pound bag of Reese's Pieces on our door step with careful instructions to feed the manatee (Eric thinks the baby looks a little sea creaturish). Thanks to all my enablers out there!

As per my friend Lora's request, I am posting a 3 month belly pic. Check back in a few weeks where, if you look carefully, you are bound to see the faint outline of an entire bag of Reese's Pieces, half a pumpkin pie, assorted desserts and whatever else has snuck into our home before the 4 month picture.
