Thoughts

Today while dropping the older 3 Gs off at school the topic of pregnancy was brought up (there is a teacher, or is she an aid?, that is due in a couple weeks).  One of the moms that has a child in G3's class (they were also in the same class at Community Preschool) asked me the question, "Is it true that the more babies you have the more room the next baby has in the womb?" I laughed when she asked this.  Upon me laughing she said, "I guess you wouldn't really know because you had the twins." That made me laugh a little bit more. I explained to her that yes, each pregnancy my belly did get bigger and more stretched out.  But I don't know how much that has to do with having a baby, or babies, prior.  G1 was only 4 lbs 3 oz, so he in no way stretched my belly out enough to then have twins.  But G2 and G3 were only 6 lbs 15 oz combined (that is smaller than a lot of singleton babies!), so I don't think that I really stretched out that much more.  Although I would have been stretched out in a different way.  G4 was 7 lbs 10 oz and she did do a number on my body (more than either prior pregnancy combined)!
The things women (namely mothers) discuss amuse me.
