The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Bubies, Babies, and Diamonds

Lately The Real Housewives of New York has been far more interesting to watch than the The Real Housewives of New Jersey. However, with last week's show being just so sad to watch as Kelly had what seemed to be a nervous breakdown, I just don't feel comfortable spouting off my usual snarky comments about the show. So instead last night I sat down to watch the Jersey girls to see what great tips of advice they had to offer.

Teresa as usual was quite entertaining. She went into labor during last night's episode and gave birth to a sweet little girl after "one and a half pushes." This is of course after she fully made herself up with jewelry, makeup, a strapless maternity top all while in labor. It is also of course is after she watched her husband have a cup of coffee, she checked her e-mail, she called her friends, and she made waffles for her daughters, all while in labor. And of course it was after she packed for the hospital her make-up and jewelry, you know, the "the last minute things you need if you're going to the hospital." I did feel for her a little bit when she was getting her epidural and started crying with pain. But then her husband promised her a big diamond ring, and for me the pity ended.

You see I had to buy my own "you gave birth to my child present" for the 2nd baby. I did get a present for the first baby, but my husband readily admitted that after 26 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing that resulted in an eventual Cesarean his present was entirely inadequate. By baby number two, however, he had forgotten my first sacrifice, and I got a great big old goose egg. Out of frustration I went to the jewelry store on my own, and ordered a pretty little ring. The day it arrived I did make my husband go with me to pick it up and actually dish out the dough, but really the damage had already been done. He will forever be in the dog house for that one.

Though just between you and me I have to say this, I'd take my husband any day over Teresa's husband. Sure he buys Teresa diamonds and gives her a great big house to live in. But that's about all he does. And I tell you what, if he ever tried to sex me up the same day I had my "bubies" enlarged just for him, it would take much more than a big house and diamonds to fix that problem. You know what I'm saying?

Anyway, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Teresa and welcome her new baby girl to the world. Good luck to you on the birth of your newest and latest Jersey girl. There's nothing better than a new baby, and I and the housewives of the RHOK wish you all the best.
