Ok, I seriously ate an hour and a half ago and I have hunger pangs as if I haven't eaten in days.
This morning as I was lying awake in bed and thinking of many things, I wondered how to spell the letters of the alphabet. Many of them are obvious, but I got stuck on H and W... aitch? eightch? For W would it just be double-you -ewe -yoo? Is there a proper way to spell letters? It's a pointless thought, I know, but it made me curious. Has anyone else ever wondered this?

Absolutely! And I wasn't even prego at the time. One time when I was like 12, my family was making the trek from MI to UT and to pass the time, my brother and I spelled the letters of the alphabet. For H, I think we decided it would be ach (long a) and for W it would be double u. I wonder if it's in the dictionary.
I tried to post a comment and got an error, so sorry if you get two.
I laughed out loud as I researched the answer.

New Scrabble words, sweet!
Sorry, missed e.
Wow, thanks for the enlightenment Brianne! For some reason it feels like cheating when the vowels are spelled by just using the letter.
thought about it but then stop quickly.
although, this is how jill says her alphabet: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, 9, 10. (her h and 8 sound the same so she completes with counting)
Oh you are definitely pregnant, I love it! We come up with the weirdest ideas when we are pregnant.
I have never thought about spelling the alphabet... interesting! As for hunger pains- if your hungry, eat! As the baby gets bigger you will get fuller faster because theres no room for food!!
Uh oh. Is that something weird we do when we're pregnant? I'll just pretend that I was pregnant when I started attempting to spell the alphabet. ;) And yes, eat if you're hungry. It will probably ease up and if not, well...just eat!
By the way, thank you for the compliment on Sarah's blog!
