Knocked Up

Today while walking down the stairs at the hospital with the three boys, Samuel and Andy counting every step on their way down and me carrying Asher in his car seat over one arm, a younger female came up to me while I was holding open a door for the boys and said "So some one knocked you up too?" She then pointed to my hand on my "fatherly" belly which was sticking farther out since I was leaning back trying to counter Asher and the car seats' weight.

A few weeks earlier, I was getting onto Samuel for eating a lot of Easter candy and giving Andy a lot too. I cannot take a shower when there is candy hidden in the house, because they will find it. Anyway Samuel looked at me with a sad face and siad "But Daddio, I just want to have a big belly just like you."

A few days earlier I was at an AFTB function and saw a lady I had not seen in almost 2 years. Last time she saw me I had long hair, a bushy beard and a grizzly bear. Well maybe not the bear but you get the point. I had to stand up for something and while I was going to sit back down she said "who Rusty you are really starting to look like a dad now especially with that 'fatherly' belly you are getting." I informed her that I had to grow it to hold the babies on since I do not have hips.

I guess my time has finally come, not running anymore and staying at home has finally taken a toll on me. But at least I have my sexy legs, which is an actual comment I have received from a few women lately. My favorite was at a volunteer training where they had a 45 minute meditation class to help us learn a few things to clear our minds before teaching and one was walking around a room slowly looking at the floor with soft music playing. The lady walking behind me could not stay focused and had to ask me to move over because as she said: she thought my legs were sexy and kept on starring at them ultimately distracting her. :o)
