" Hi guys! For those of you who don&amp;amp;#8217;t know me, I&amp;amp;#8217;m Meghan, Erin&amp;amp;#8217;s younger sister. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never guest blogged before and I must say it&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty exciting! You have all been so wonderful and supportive to my big sis and it&amp;amp;#8217;s an honor to share my thoughts with you. Now, I could tell you what it&amp;amp;#8217;s been like to watch my two big sisters battle cancer, or how scary it is to wonder if I&amp;amp;#8217;m next to join the cancer club, but then I figured why waste such a great opportunity to give you guys some gossip about Erin?! After all, she&amp;amp;#8217;s in a different country and away from her computer (Er&amp;amp;#8230;if you&amp;amp;#8217;re on your computer right now, go away and get to the beach!). What better time to tell you what she&amp;amp;#8217;s really like pregnant? OK, so here we go: She&amp;amp;#8217;s crazy! She overreacts! She&amp;amp;#8217;s hypersensitive! No, just kidding. In all honesty, other than her growing belly Erin hasn&amp;amp;#8217;t changed all that much. Of course there are times when a book like &amp;amp;#8220;What to expect when Erin&amp;amp;#8217;s expecting&amp;amp;#8221; would come in handy&amp;amp;#8212;like when I elected to go to the grocery store with her to pick up some ingredients for a big family dinner. I mistakenly questioned the need to go to three stores when we could easily get all ingredients at the King Kullen down the street&amp;amp;#8230;whoops! &amp;amp;#8220;Meghan, you may not care if this (f*^!ing) dinner is nice but I do. God you people sometimes&amp;amp;#8230;blah, blah, blah.&amp;amp;#8221; I tuned out the rest of her rant and made a mental note to never again question Erin&amp;amp;#8212;well at least not for the next few months. And I have learned that a filter is necessary when talking to her. For example, not a good idea to point out that the puffiness in her face went down (probably not necessary to point out that she ever was a tad bit puffy). Not that I&amp;amp;#8217;d make a slip as bad as Melissa (you guys remember the double chin blog, right?). Actually, while we&amp;amp;#8217;re on that topic, that comment may actually have given me the leg up on Melissa in our battle for Godmother! Melissa and I have recently broached the subject with Erin and Nick and I am convinced I&amp;amp;#8217;m the clear choice. I&amp;amp;#8217;m the one who goes to church (OK, maybe not more than Christmas and Easter but who&amp;amp;#8217;s counting?). Melissa&amp;amp;#8217;s main argument is that she will buy the little guy the nicest presents. &amp;amp;#8220;That is the real reason for Godparents, Meghan!&amp;amp;#8221; she says. Please, Melis. Anyway, enough of that (but if Erin ever asks your opinion on who the Godmother should be, vote for me!). I&amp;amp;#8217;ll leave you with one last thought about Erin: She&amp;amp;#8217;s the most striking and glamorous pregnant lady I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever seen and I love watching her prepare for motherhood. The best is when I catch her touching her belly and smiling not realizing anyone else is watching her. That&amp;amp;#8217;s when I know what an amazing mother she is going to be. &amp;amp;#8212;Meghan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
