Ode to Pregnancy


ODE TO PREGNANCY
Sung to the tune of “Home on the Range”
Lyrics by me

Oh, give me some time
And I’ll sing you a rhyme!
Of the “miraculous bliss” of pregnancy
Where seldom is heard
A favorable word
Because I’m busy puking desperately!

Oooooooh! The wondrous joys of gestation!
I never thought that I’d miss my menstruation!
For some chocolate I yearn
But it’d give me heartburn
I’m daydreaming of my husband’s castration!

The world’s stinky and smelly,
Get your hands off my belly
No, I’m just fat–I’m not having twins.
I’m large and rotund.
Yes! I’m SURE there’s just one.
You’re hilarious. You’re such the comedienne.

Ooooo, how I love being with child!
My back hurts. I’m grumpy and riled.
My cankles are swelling
My acne’s rebelling
Exaggerating? No, this is me being mild.

I’m nauseous and spotty,
And I live on the potty,
Because my bladder’s the size of a pea
My waistline’s expanding,
I’m annoyed and demanding
What the hell? Is that a stretch mark on me?

OOOooo! I love being knocked up!
My cha-chas have gone up two whole cups!
Sadly so has my rear,
My thighs, and I fear…
Did I just feel a backroll? Ayup.

When I finally give birth
I’ll know that it’s worth
All this pain and discomfort supreme
But until that day,
I’ve just one thing to say:
GO AWAY. Unless you’re bringing ice cream.

Ooooooo The wonderous joys of gestation!
I never thought that I’d ever miss menstruation!
For some chocolate I yearn
But it’d give me heartburn
Yes! I’m daydreaming of my husband’s castration!

Just a couple more days….



So, last January I landed a job as an Executive Assistant. For those of you that don’t know, an Executive Assistant is just a fancy way of saying Personal Assistant. At any rate, right now my life revolves around helping my boss and his family get out the door for an extended business trip. I’ve been pulling 12 hour days here for almost a week, and that number is expected to rise until D-Day, which is early next week.

Sorry I’ve been MIA, but after 12 hours of sitting in front of a computer screen frantically typing away while at work, the thought of sitting back down in front of one when I get home is so distasteful it makes my teeth hurt. I’ve got a couple of stories that are in rough-draft form, so as soon as I go back to a more normal schedule, I’ll see what I can do getting back on the ball of updating this blog at least every other day.

In the meantime, I’ll just leave you with this comic from xkcd.org . Enjoy his archives. Hopefully that’ll keep you busy until I come back… since I know you guys don’t actually have lives and just sit around pining for my next intermittent post. Right? Right.
