It's a good thing she is cute!

I haven't been feeling well today.  Mostly, I feel like someone is sitting on my chest and choking me at the same time.  It's a cold, but it's not a fun one.  Melanie and Noelle have been good helpers today, folding towels for me, picking up little things here and there, and just playing nice with their brother (which is the greatest gift of all).  Which was why this little conversation with Ms. Melanie was extra humorous.

Melanie: "Mom, I think you are sick because of the baby"

Me: "I'm not sick because of the baby."

Melanie: "Well, you are fat because of the baby".  

To make this even more innocent humor, my little 6 year old proceeded to demonstrate my "fatness" not just by patting my belly, but also patting down my legs.  Because, lets be honest, pregnancy doesn't just effect our stomachs.

Melanie: "I don't remember what you look like without a baby in your tummy".

Me: "Well, I suppose you will get to see soon."

Can I just say, it's a good thing she is cute and lovable?  Not anyone can tell me they think I'm fat and get a smile out of me.
