Parenting & Pregnancy Humor

Me recently photographing a wedding....on a boat...in summer...in a dress...with a baby strapped to the front of me. Oh and it was windy too....
Pregnancy and parenting humor cracks me up.  It can be stressful and so all encompassing that its refreshing to read something so honest and relate able (and hilarious).

My cousin Molly turned me on to the Pregnant Chicken website and so far I've liked everything I've read.  Its gotten me in trouble though, as I read it on my ipad while rocking Emma to sleep - I start silently crying laughing, meanwhile shaking her as I try to reign it in.  I admit, that I'm a little loopy & sleep deprived, but I think this is funny stuff.

In the one I read tonight, Why You're Not Failing as a Mother, I got laughing at the following:

"...You are in the trenches when you have a baby. To the untrained eye it seems pretty straightforward and easy – you feed them, you bathe them, you pick them up when they cry – but it’s more than that. It’s perpetual motion with a generous layer of guilt and self-doubt spread on top, and that takes its toll.

Feeling like you also need to keep on top of scrapbooking, weight loss, up-cycled onesies, handprints, crock pot meals, car seat recalls, sleeping patterns, poo consistency, pro-biotic supplements, swimming lessons, electromagnetic fields in your home and television exposure, is like trying to knit on a rollercoaster – it’s fucking hard..."

Love this post, you're a trooper, always have been. And you have a gem in Emma AND yes, I'm just slightly prejudice about you both!
