So, Maggie, what have you been doing? Well, friends, I have been asleep. In addition, I have been preparing snacks. And then there’s all the eating and resting I’ve been up to.
Also, I’ve been sharing embarrassing photos of myself in high school on heavily trafficked Web sites. Head over to check out my high-waist Daisy Dukes and my worried-looking glamour shot.
However, I must say, after spending months waddling around with a carton of ice cream in my hand, it’s hard to feel embarrassed about any photo in which I weighed roughly 63 pounds. Not impossible, but hard.

Those photos are priceless. Are you familiar with Sarah Brown’s term Bershon? You are so Bershon in the second photo, it is perfectly high school!

The 93 is a really nice touch. We didn’t have such flourishes in Kansas.

You know, I think I had those same shorts in junior high. Let me guess, they came from the king of the midwest mall, JCPenney?

This is really strange to admit… I have loved your blog for years, but these past couple weeks I check every day for baby updates — so Maggie, you are in my thoughts!

mmm…ice cream. I know this makes me a jackass, but someone I love once actually did weigh 65 lbs, and it was far from pretty. So, please don’t worry about baby fat of any type, like, ever! You’re gorgeous, can’t wait for the stories & photos to follow….

Hey! I graduated in ’93 too. Instead of high-waisted cut-offs, I opted for the high-waisted pleated (but tapered!) jeans in my senior pictures. Awesome.

Yes, we larger women LOVE to see how the other half gets into their short-shorts 2 weeks after delivery. It makes us feel the full effects of our depression. 🙂
