Hey! Where's My Present?


Four years ago today I gave birth to a 10 pound 9 ounce baby boy. As you can imagine, I had tearing all the way. Long difficult healing ahead of me. So I ask you, where the Hell is my present?

Yes, the mother is the one who has to go through the pregnancy and delivery. We should get the presents on our children's birthdays.

Please tell me that he's not a newborn in that picture. He looks like a full grown person! That is freaky! How did you carry such a big baby??

@Jenn yup, newborn not even a month old in that shot. He was very squished in there. And I was also the size of a house. Nobody would stand around me at the end, I just go looks from strangers of, "Please don't burst around me.)

You're hilarious, Emily! Glad I married a small man. We make very petite children. (The downfall is that the only athletic things they'll be good at are gymnastics and perhaps being jockeys.)

Jeff only weighed 7lbs 6 1/2 oz when he was born.
