supersize me

God, I miss a lot of things about not being pregnant.

Like fitting into all of my pants, for instance.

Pardon me, but I'm feeling a little sensitive about my appearance. I found out that during the four weeks between my first two OB-gyno appointments... I've already gained a whopping five pounds.

Apparently, it's all in my middle. And I just don't mean my front-middle.

(You could land a jet plane on my ass.)

But, it's worth it -- because I'm making my own version of one of these:



Secretly, I hope my own little one turns out exactly like my niece. I mean, my little one has a lot of competition. Carley is the yinspice to my yang.

And sometimes, when we're at outdoor wedding receptions and she is watching the bride and groom dance their first dance as husband and wife, magic happens:

So, come on, little baby-in-my-belly.

Turn out cute.

Or I will sell you on the black market and use the money to get liposuction.

*p.s. Mommy's kidding. She sometimes posts very funny, yet very unnecessary things. Usually, on Thursdays. When you get here, you definitely won't be reading Mommy's blog on Thursdays.*

Oh love, you will be completely fantabulous no matter what sorta baby weight you put on! Just remember you can blame it ALL on baby bean.

I have always wondered, when i do decided to stock my candy factory baby maker with a little nugget of caramel...can i just stick it back in if it comes out a boy until it's little wang falls off & suddenly makes it into a girl? lol Just kidding - but seriously can I? I hear horror stories of boys pissing on momma! Ewwwww.

Lily -- pee is the easy part. When they're three and still not potty trained it when the real grossarama comes to town.

Amb -- hope things are going well (other than your enormous ass) and that your little one remains forever cute!

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
