so the second i began to write this post, i totally forgot what i wanted to write about.
huh.
well.
the sparkstress is moving higher and higher into her apartment. she is damn near my ribcage now. the kicks are a little less comfortable up there, and my belly is bumping my desk at work. and my abs? soooooooore.
let’s see, what else? oh yeah! h has taken to reading chapters from the pooh books to sparky every night before bed. and as h relays pooh et al’s many adventures, sparky kicks and rolls and thumps. she positively eats up h’s voice so close to my belly.
also, i think we have found our adoption lawyer and we’ll hopefully begin the whole big texan process in the coming few weeks. perhaps on st patty’s day. i will feel so much more at peace once h is sparky’s legal mum.
so that is what’s going on over here. we went to the swedish meatball store that also sells furniture this weekend, and came home with this sofa. win! now to keep the effing dogs off it when we are not home. fail.
finally, here is this week’s belly shot, taken today at 25w3d:
and bonus! my oddly-shaped, formerly innie belly button:
enjoy.
how’s your wednesday?





nice belly! you’re moving right along!!!!
Awww…the belly is really starting to “pop” now! I think it’s so sweet that H. reads to the baby. She’ll come out knowing her other mum voice and prolly look right at her and think “oh, HEY, the STORY lady, awesome!”
thanks e
liza, i love it! can’t wait to tell h…
i read the BFG to Piggy when she was in utero..Pcat read her green eggs and ham most nights. piggy loved her voice and when she was born and i was getting sewn up pcat recited green eggs and ham to settle piggy…it worked!
you have a lovely belly and that belly button..its just the beginning of it morphing!
nice belly button… how long before it pops out all the way I wonder…
Looking great! sorry your abs are sore!
you have the prettiest belly i’ve ever seen. sorry it’s causing some discomfort! what we do for beauty…
very spiffy couch. gl with the dogs. we have a fabric/cat hair couch.
yea for finding the adoption attorney. i’m sure to have lots of questions about taking on this process in a red state. hope it goes well for you both.
oxoox
Did I tell you my dd was due June 13th…erm…hate to say that she finally came on July 2nd. I was pretty sick of being pregnant let me tell ya. Get yer rest or I’ll come down there and kick yer butt in person instead of just during wordgames online.
mrs m, that is just sad sad news. however, my mother’s due date w/ my oldest sister was june 15, and she gave birth on june 3.
i’d love to see you kick my arse in person. ha!
