Funny Pregnancy Quotes
Even before the tears fully dried up and we started letting ourselves get excited about a 4th baby (despite the timing and all those silly details:), we had some gut-busting laughs over our little “oops.” Here are some hysterical things that have been said that are too funny to let ourselves forget:
- Travis to me right after I showed him my positive pee stick: “um, is it too late to give Henny back?”
- Travis: “well, I guess Finley wasn’t exactly a miracle afterall!”
- My response to Travis after he told me his mom’s “another-act-of-God” reaction: “could be…or the devil. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if this kid is anything like our last spawn.”
- We went to Steamboat with my family right after we had the +pregnancy test. Travis and I decided we’d each sleep with one of the boys and stick Fin in the pack’n’play (as usual on trips). My mom overheard and said “no, you guys should ALWAYS share a bed.” Travis: “well, that hasn’t been working out too well for us lately; it’s sorta what got us into this in the 1st place!”
- Me: “I’m going to call Dr. Mortken and ask him for our bag of worms back.” [Dr. Mortken was the urologist who did Travis’ varicocelectomy, which apparently restored fertility (we skipped out on the follow-up tests, so we have no idea what the #’s are, not that it matters obviously). The term “bag of worms” is the medical description of a varicocele, which is a condition of dilated blood vessels that drain the, um, “stepchildren?” and can sometimes cause fertility issues. The varicocele repair doesn’t restore fertility in lots of guys, but no one really understands why that is. Apparently Travis was the small exception…or we’re just crazy lucky (I use the word “luck” optimistically here;)]
- My grandmother’s response, after “congratulations,” to me telling her & my Pawpaw that Travis and I are expecting another baby: “well, I guess you might as well go ahead and have as much sex as you want now! But then, after this one’s born, tell Travis he’s cut-off!”
- Finley: “Hey, I gotta baby in my belly too!! You can hold it when it comes out, but DON’T drop it!”
- Finley: “Hey mom, you got milk in there again? Maybe I have some?” Fin has taken notice that “the girls are back in town.” I have a feeling she is going to be VERY jealous when a new baby bellies up to the milk bar in December.
- Travis: “Oh, I’m SO going to shed a few more pounds just to seal the deal this time! You WILL weigh more than me!” Me: “Yes, and I will crush you for what you’ve done to me.”
On another note, we had an “official” ultrasound today and all is well. During the ultrasound I got really excited about the thought of #4. I’m right around 14wks but who the hell knows; all the dates conflict. Based on our blurred memories of possible conception dates, we thought maybe our due date was around Dec. 12th…but that’s not consistent with anything else. Today’s ultrasound puts my due date at Dec. 1st. To meet in the middle, we’re sticking with Dec. 5th, which we got from the earlier ultrasound Emilie did – should be most accurate because it was done ~4wks ago. Point is, we still don’t know how or when this kid was conceived so we have no idea how old it really is either (ok, we know HOW it was conceived, just can’t believe it). On a bright note, the baby’s ugly step twin (a fibroid) seems to have shrunken and become insignificant. So that’s good I guess. On the other hand, it was my excuse for having a large gut so early on. Oh well. I personally think this baby resembles a small, smiling piglet at the moment, especially in this picture:
Here’s another, perhaps more flattering / less pigletish, alien-baby picture:
The photos below are ones I’ll treasure. They’re pictures of Travis showing the kids the images from our 1st ultrasound that my friend, Emilie, did for us, right after we told them we are going to have another baby in our family. It was really adorable and they were all super excited and interested. Jack studied all the images carefully to understand exactly what was what, and he asked lots of thoughtful questions. They all agreed the baby looks like Ponyo. [If you haven’t seen that movie, you’re missing out!]
Here’s Fin demonstrating the baby’s position on its back:
[Note: Travis has had his “scarf” / mullet shaved since these pics were taken; he has also showered and is slightly less greasy;) He was starting to look like “Travis the NASCAR driver” there for awhile, so I’m glad he’s back to clean cut MD/MBA Travis. He’s in the hospital doing ophthalmology for the month of June, so he had to make the switch.]

Hi Laurie,
I didn’t read your blog few weeks ago and I am very happy to read that you are pregnant! Congretulations for you and Travis. You will be at the head of a “big” family!
Anne-Laure
Waaaoo Congratulations Laurie and the rest of the Good family!
So happy for you. I bet it’s going to be a wild ride but oh so worth it!
Hi Laurie and family,
OMG! I been busy with my teething kids and stopped by your blog tonight and saw on your tweets about baby #4. Congrats.
You need to give us tips on how you do it!
I have to admit, the baby in ultrasound pic #1 does seem like a happy smiling piglet. Looks like he or she is happy
in there.
It’s been a while since I’ve been by and you NEVER cease to amaze me! #4?!?! How do you do it? I thought med school and residency was hard. I know being a parent is. Seriously, how are you guys doing it???
What!!! OMG! Long time reader, but haven’t checked in lately due to this thing called Life. What a surprise, but nice surprise. My first thought was ” Wow, she is such a fertile Myrtle, totally forgetting that Shane and Jack are not your bio kids. Man, you are like Super Woman…….honestly, you are a poster child of a great Mom!! Congrats…….enjoy all 4 of your blessings, as that is what your children are………the years will start speeding by, so enjoy the moments. I certainly enjoy reading about them.
Thanks for this terrific post, I am glad I discovered this website on yahoo.
