Watch it!!

I love how protective family is. Now that I'm pregnant, they think I'm made of glass and are always telling me to be careful! "You're carrying precious cargo" they say. When I considered doing a sprint triathlon (no expectations, I'm pregnant right???), my mom and grandfather thought I'd lost my mind and weren't easy until I promised to give it up. My dad is constantly getting on to me for lifting things and Cole even gets worried when I get too into group games. I was playing spoons over the summer with my very-aggressive-spoon-playing cousins and every time I lunged for a spoon, I could hear Cole saying, "Julia, Julia, Julia! Please be careful!" :) I love it!

However, no one beats my cousin Sarah Parker! She was one of the first people I told and she is not only super super excited to be an aunt, but she is like a watchdog for my physical well-being. I was with her at a high school football game over the weekend and several times I almost got mowed-over by guys not looking where they were going. But before they could stomp on me, Sarah Parker would yell "Watch it!" and grab me to safety! Then she would proceed to give them a scathing death look! She also kept asking me if I was okay standing up, if I needed to sit down, and if I was hungry or thirsty. It was great :) I love how protective she is in taking care of her prego cousin!


Don't worry, she's not going to eat the baby! She's just crazy excited!
