Randi and I occasionally have conversations in church on my iPod Touch. I type her a note and then she types one back to me. Here is a sample of a conversation we had today for your enjoyment:
Alec: I think I am going to do a blog post today about my pregnancy symptoms.
Randi: Yeah, that would be totally awesome. I want to hear some.
Alec:
1. I sleep way more than I ever have (even more than when I was in high school).
2. I am hungry all the time.
3. More specifically I am hungry for Taco Bell all the time.
4. I want to put babies on my bare chest. OK that last one isn't true (note: Randi has a pregnancy book that has a section for dads-to-be and it says that a dad who is envious that his wife gets to breast feed can unbutton his shirt and put the bottle on his chest and put the baby right on his chest...weird).
Randi: Well, sounds like you've lucked out by not feeling any of the constipation and gas.
Alec:
5. I have constipation.
Randi: Nice. I should probably rub your feet when we get home. Also, I could massage your bowels to help you get through the discomfort.
Alec: That sounds amazing. Maybe you can discreetly massage my bowels during sacrament meeting. (Before I could show Randi this message she stood up and left the chapel). Um...you left to go potty before I could hand you this message so I guess I will just have to ramble on. Let's see, what other pregnancy symptoms have I been feeling? I haven't had a period since you got pregnant. Um, I probably threw up as much that one night as some pregnant women do their entire pregnancy. I think I pee more than usual. (Randi returns). Oh good, you are back, I was running out of things to write.
Randi: (edited).
Alec: (edited).
Randi: I don't know if I want you to do that (referring to the edited portion of the conversation...don't worry...it's nothing R rated). Also I really hope no one could read those last comments over your shoulder cause they would think we are very weird. So, do you want tacos for lunch?
Alec: I really, really, really want tacos. For pretty much every meal.
