Must be a kitty mirage, Eize! They’ve actually been behaving themselves lately.

You look great!

And I’m looking carefully at the reflection behind you–is that a kitty in the crib, or do I need glasses?

Candy – you look so happy! I dig the baby’s room too. Good on you for choosing dragonflies and green instead of bears and pink.

You look great, Candy!
And I love the fact that you didn’t do the nursery in pink.

you know, that all sounds so familiar. for me the first 3 months were awful. sick all the damn time. the last 2 months were worse. i often envisioned little cracks forming in the bones that make up my spine. i mean, how could it not be causing serious damage when it HURT SO BAD?

5 years later and i still haven’t gotten the “baby fever” my mother assured me i’d get. one pregnancy was enough for me!

Thanks, guys!

I was a month late — something doctors would never allow now — and my mom describes that extra month as “Hell on Earth” or something equally delightful.

That bowling bowl analogy is going to haunt me tonight.

You look great! And congrats on reaching the magic week! I can’t even imagine J-Force’s scenario…and I hope that neither you or I will ever have to experience it! I’m only 32 weeks along, but I’ve already hit the stick-a-fork-in-me stage.

Last time I remember waking up when I was 36 weeks and I realized the baby had dropped because I was trying desperately to keep a bowling ball from falling out of my crotch. I thought, “I will NEVER last another month like this.” I was right (I went into labor that evening), but I know lots of women do last a month and longer. And I am in awe of them.
