I would like to take this opportunity to personally send my congratulations out to Josh and Anna Duggar. They are expecting a new little Duggar this fall. I, of course, am so excited about this. Anna, don't ask Michelle if you can borrow her maternity clothes. She's not done with them. Instead I found this little gem that you can whip up on your sewing machine (I had to put this item in my "watching" ebay file. When Colin saw it he was like, "Why on earth are you watching this item?" I'm not sure whether he was more disturbed by the jumper or that it was maternity.)

Anna, I have compiled a list of things that Michelle probably won't be sharing with you about pregnancy and beyond.
1. There will be a time when things like your husband telling you in front of the whole family that you are pregnant will not be cool. In fact, you will probably want to rip his face off and serve it up with Tater Tot Casserole.
2. That brings us to Tater Tot Casserole. Girl, if you keep eating that, it's going mess up the plumbing.
3. Don't expect Michelle to come help out after the baby is born. She'll probably be birthing her own at that point.
4. Kiss your little 20 year old body good bye. Your waistline will be exchanged for a panty sandwich complete with ice pack and little circles of witch hazel. One word: Dermaplast. Two words: Get some. And I won't even talk about what is going to happen to boobs. Hopefully, you still have the sewing machine you used to make that pattern I sent you so that you can hem them up with you skirts.

Here's to happy nine months, Anna!

omg hilarious! I can't believe we were both actually watching this last night.

Those jumpers go perfectly with that "breast friend" thing that she loves - 2 things I will never wear.

Panty sandwich...need I say more? Oh, my security word was bathe, you can add that to the list of things she won't have time to do.

Now that was hilarious! Thank God for dermaplast and witch hazel, they were my best friends after both boys. I cannot believe I watched that last night, but it is something about all of those children that just draws you in.
