still XL

The belly photo is updated. Not a big change… in fact, as of Friday, I lost a pound. I never thought loosing weight would be a concern… but, it is. I’ve also found myself pointing out other pregnant women and asking Marc: “Am I as big as her?”. This is a tough situation for a man… in all other circumstances in the history of a woman’s life the answer is ALWAYS: “No way, honey! You are tiny compared to her!”. But, not in this case, no, the correct answer is: “Yes, in fact your belly may be bigger.” It is really strange, this judging the size of the belly. You actually want to be big - you want your kid to be growing as much as possible - well, maybe not as much as possible - we just heard of a local women giving birth to a 12 pound baby totally naturally… uh yeah, crazy! But, looking down at my belly - it doesn’t seem THAT big. I mean, yeah, it is much larger than normal, but, it isn’t until you catch your reflection in the window of darkened office building, walking next to your once large husband, who has now shrunken to the size of a stick figure compared to you, that you realize that your middle really is GINORMOUS! You end up stopping, to check if the glass is maybe arched - perhaps creating a circus-sideshow attraction type illusion - no dice - that’s really what you look like.

    Ditto! I think you look great also. I detect the serene Madonna like countanence emerging… or is that the crazed look of someone who needs a night of unbroken sleep. We are thinking and “pushing ” for you. Everyday I wonder if this IS THE DAY. Lots of love to you both; well all three.
