A friend of mine who is studying early childhood development right now said that the weird thing is babies don't grow slowly, they grow in spurts. They can grow an inch practically overnight.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Be sure you step up the childproofing before they start throwing femurs in the air.
Ahahahaha!!! (And keep an eye out for the black monolith.)

I just made a big pot of chili and chocolate chip cookies. I am SO stuffed right now.

So true. I hit that point a couple of weeks ago myself. And last night I discovered dinner may be out of my reach for a little while. Sigh. Do I really have two more months of this?
Digesting things seems to take so long! If I eat too much at lunch, I'm in need of food but still full by the time suppertime rolls around.
But hey, in a few weeks, when the kids drop into place, our stomachs will return, or so they tell me. Granted, at the cost of our bladders, but at least food will be an option again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I just got the chance to read your paper, vw. Excellent work! I look forward to the expanded version.
Yay for Emeline taking charge at school!
And sympathies to short people in the latter weeks of pregnancy. I would have given a lot for a couple-few more inches of torso when I was at that stage.

I'm practicing math. It's making my head want to go splodey. Thank goodness I have an Emily. Really, everyone should have an Emily.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Definitely. Emilys are good people, I've discovered.

Erm, that's not how I remember it.
My torso is pretty long, Bev. I think that the last couple months are just rotten uncomfortable. It's nature's way of making you actually look forward to the birth. And as I recall, really all the discomforts of pregnancy ended with it. (Sure, okay, lochia is unpleasant, but it really was no big whoop.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Totally agree. A billion times.

Yep yep yep. 'Cept that pesky incision for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Erm, that's not how I remember it.
Me, neither. But I am short waisted and there was NO place for the baby to go. I didn't care much for eating in the last four weeks.
