Baby Weight and the Muppets
I gained A LOT of weight when I was pregnant. 60 pounds to be exact. I didn’t go too crazy with the eatin’ and yet, the weight just piled on. I wasn’t too worried about it, nor was my doctor, since I’d lost a bunch of weight right before I got pregnant and I was confident I’d be able to do it again.
Three months after birthin’ this baby, I’m down about 35 pounds. 25 more and I’ll be at a weight I’m really happy with, though ten more pounds than that and I’d be ecstatic. That said, I’ve been told not to expect those final 10 pounds to go away until after I’m done breastfeeding.
Anyway…I was talking with GTB about how I’m looking forward to getting back to a svelter version of myself. “I’m tired of being Miss Piggy to your Kermit,” I told him.
“Yeah well, if I keep eating the way I have been,” GTB responded, “I’m going to be Snuffleupagus to your Elmo.”

Tell Greg he’s dating himself. If you were frequent, current viewers of Sesame Street, he’d be talking in terms of being Telly Monster to your Abby Cadabby. (And curses on Elmo, the most irritating Muppet ever.)

True! Your voice is not nearly that high pitched!
