How pregnant is she?

Unlike most people, it is the stated contention of this author that you can be just a little bit pregnant, and therefore we periodically like to score the extent of pregnancy on a 1-10 Prego scale. Each half point interval is worth one Duggar. I will have to describe since Ariane put the kibosh on posting pictures of her belly, which is a shame.

Fact: Her belly is getting bigger.

Fact: It is not so big that a stranger may not just think she has gained weight (Lena's words, not mine).

Fact: The baby started kicking on Jan 5, 2009.*

Fact: Ariane can still lie on her back.

Fact: She is not craving anything.

Fact: No major foot aching yet.

Fact: She had to pee eight times on Monday.


Overall, a so-so achievement toward being completely pregnant. I'll give her 6 Pregos.



That is worth the following Duggars:
Jim Bob, Michelle, Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger [Ed. note: I believe this is pronounced "Ginger" and I am not joking], Joseph, Josiah.

God, the Duggars are awful, aren't they. Eighteen (eighteen!) kids, all beginning with "J"... time to thin the herd there, Michelle.


A ways to go before Kid is born, but we're gettin' there.
