If you feel a sneeze coming,

and you're 21 weeks pregnant with your seventh child, make sure you're not sitting cross-legged on the floor. If you forget to quickly hop up and take a defensive-stance, well, don't forget the next time. And if by chance, the next one sneaks up on you, well, be grateful you have a denim skirt that soaked up any incidental leakage.

My eyes have been itching since Saturday evening.  I woke up sneezing and sneezing.  I've been congested all week with these itchy eyes and constant sneezing. 
 
I love our new home.  But the trees here (a whole mile away from our moldy old home) are driving my allergies bonkers.

Ah, I remember those pregnant days... maybe I'll do it again if I can convince the husband! I have to say though, I admire you for your bravery in having seven children. My grandmother also had seven children and while their house was a circus, everyone had so much fun. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle that though! :)

Hi there! I've just found your blog through Multiples and More. I find that pulling down on the roof of your mouth with your tongue helps to suppress a sneeze (I hope that makes sense!). Good luck with the pregnancy :)

I recently invested in some panty liners to help with this same problem (Oh the joys of pregnancy and motherhood). Koen had the nerve to ask me if mommy needed diapers. I did not want to explain that yes when I sneeze I need one.

I have to say this is possibly my least favorite thing about being pregnant (and unfortunately, the after being pregnant part, too). I once had a particularly frustrating day after giving birth to my third. I went out to kick a soccer ball around, an attempt to let off some steam. Yeah. Don't do that a couple weeks after giving birth. It's worse than sneezing.
