Anyone Need a Hot Air Balloon Filled?

     I pride myself on having a good belch.  When I expel that excess air from my stomach, I EXPEL it! I don't mess around.  My wife on the other hand burps like a nun who breaks wind during mass.  It's pathetic.  That is to say, it WAS pathetic.  I stumbled upon yet another fun side effect to the joys of pregnancy.  Excessive gas.  Now thankfully this gas only comes out her mouth, for this is a family blog and we don't want to have to go into that territory.  I pray it stays that way.  Anyway, she officially now has a black belt in burping.  I have never heard a woman, let alone a human, burp so often and so loudly in my life.  It is truly a wonder to behold.  She can eat something as simple as a baby carrot and she will have enough belching force to fill a hot air balloon.
     Now, please don't misinterpret this blog entry.  I am not trying to be mean spirited or trying to elicit a small laugh at her expense.  I say this because I am simply amazed at how this tiny lime-sized baby can completely alter a woman's body.  The morning sickness, frequent trips to the bathroom, excessive gas... and this is only the beginning.  Hollywood did NOT prepare me for this.  I blame Full House.
