Each pregnancy has come with complete strangers coming out of the woodworks to go out of their way to help me. This pregnancy has been no exception. Today I took the kiddos to Costco and it was sunny as we walked in. We were in there maybe 20 minutes, and as we were leaving it was pouring buckets of rain. I hadn't planned on this so i didn't have an umbrella and we just had to make a run for it. Have you ever tried to run when you are not only pushing a cart with a case of water, a case of rice milk, a case of diapers, 6 packages of pasta, 2 large bottles of salsa, a huge box of brownie mix, 6 pounds of ground beef, 70 pounds of kid, and 15 additional pounds on your belly that you aren't used to? It's just not going to happen. So . . . we got to the car and I loaded the kiddos as quickly as I could and then proceeded to get the groceries in. This lady who was driving through the parking lot literally stopped her car in the middle of the parking lot, and got out to help me load. Wow. A lady! I just thought that was pretty stinking cool. Being pregnant just brings out the best in others. This topped the flight attendant who brought Chris and I ice cream sundaes from first class while we were flying in coach . . .
