What A Week!

Day four with the pregnancy suit, and let me tell you this will be a week I will never forget... I have learned so much and a big thank you to Banner Estrella Medical Center who provided all of us with some valuable information. I have a pretty sore back, but that's it. I don't have to deal with morning sickness, hot flashes, heart burn, etc... At the end of the week all I have to do is take off the suit, not give birth! No, I have it pretty easy except when I head out in public... If you could see the faces on people when I walk around town, it's very funny. Some folks will say something, others will just stare and you know what they are thinking... That guy has a serious belly!

The suit we used was made by Reality Works, and is called the pregnancy profile. It is made for men and women to wear and get a small idea of what it is like to be 9 months pregnant. You fill the belly up with water and once it's all together it weighs around 30 pounds. It's made to be worn for 1 hour at a time, not 5 days... So I am looking forward to Friday! :)

Finally the reason we are doing this is for the West Valley Child Crisis Center in Glendale, it is one amazing place in Glendale... I have visited a couple of times and was very impressed... Since 1985, West Valley Child Crisis Center has provided temporary shelter and supervision for children who are victims of, or at risk of, abuse, neglect, or abandonment, in a safe home-like environment. Please join us tomorrow from 4:30 to 7:00am as we gather much needed toys, clothes and money for WVCCC.
