1. What’s your view on men wearing sandals (yay or nay)?
I’m fine with it.
Sandals with socks…that’s a different story, but sandals in general, no problem.
Men deserve to have cool feet in the summer just as much as women do.
2. What song do you love but are embarrassed to admit?
I’m not embarrassed to admit anything about myself.
Clearly, I write a blog.
So, I can’t really answer this one.
I’ll be-bop with the tweens, waltz with the great-grandparents and do anything in between and hold my head high while doing it.
3. What summer camp should they make for moms?
Hiking camp.
You bring the kids and they are cared for by competent professionals who will engage them in stimulating, creative and physical activities, and the Moms can hit the trail, sans kids.
Mom can hike at her own pace, without having to slow down, tie a shoe, having to answer “Are we there yet?” or stopping for 13 pees in the woods.
When she comes back, the kids are exhausted from their day, so when they all get home, Mom can get a nice shower and relax with a nice, hot cup of tea and a book, while the kids relax.
Yep…once a week, this would be a great summer camp!
4. What is the most romantic song? (Not necessarily your favorite or your wedding song…)
That’s a tough one, because I’m a sucker for a love song.
However, I’m a huge sucker for “Song for Winter’s Night” by Sarah McLaughlin.
Beautifully sung, and a song about longing and love.
5. Do you have an embarrassing pregnancy story?
Not really.
At least, I can’t think of any.
I gained about 60 pounds with each pregnancy, so I waddled and looked horrific each time, but I wasn’t embarrassed.
I sneezed and peed a little in my pants when we were at the mall about a week before I was due with Tiny, but hey…it happens when you have an enormous baby playing tether ball with your bladder.
When I still had two months to go, people were asking if I was overdue, every single pregnancy.
I cried like a baby for my last 3 c-sections before they put the spinal in, because I was so terrified, and they all turned out just fine.
I think everything that happens, embarrassingly-wise, is par for the course with pregnancy. It doesn’t pay to get worked up about it…it happens to everyone.
I’m awful, because I have little sympathy for first-time pregnant people who act like they are the only people who have ever been pregnant. Take it in stride. Quit complaining. Enjoy it. There are so many people in this world who would give anything, ANYTHING to be where you are right now, so buck up and smile.
I, too, love that song, Amy. I know it through an album of wonderful songs sung by Gordon Lightfoot.

Mary Anne, You are the first person I know who’s even heard the song! Love to hear that! 🙂

Near the end of my pregnancy, I was at work and I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid so I rushed out to an emergency appointment with my midwife. It turned out Simon had kicked my bladder and it was pee. I wasn’t really embarrassed by what happened, because I knew it was normal, but when i got back to work and EVERYONE asked me what happened, I had to explain over and over again that no, I had peed myself while working, sometimes having to tell my customers too who were there when I had left. THAT part was embarrassing.
