“The Belly” is updated. Last week I was up 25 pounds with 7 weeks to go. At this rate we’re looking at 14-16 more pounds until the end. In case you can’t do the math because the numbers are just so high, it’s about 40 pounds. That’s gotta be, like, a first-grader! Listening: Okkervil River

I am still recovering from having a house-full of beer-soaked boys staying in our house, but, SXSW is indeed over. I am entirely grateful to Chuck and Bryan for coming out so that Marc didn’t have to endure the rigors of the festival alone. I knew I wouldn’t be up for the Playboy parties, but, [...]

Our friend Bryan just emailed with a commentary on my belly shots: It has to be shared, because it is funny and totally right on. I studied the expressions on your face as the pictures were taken to try to gain some insight on your thoughts of the process. At 18 weeks and before you [...]

HOLY$#!@. All of a sudden there are LESS THAN 2 months to go. Seeing that “1″ over there in the ETB counter is pretty surreal. We’re getting close… and that is at once exciting, and a little anxiety-inducing, although not really terrifying anymore. Call me naive, ignorant, or in denial… but, I really think we’re [...]

I think I may have found my answer to how to find 10 weeks (well, only 67 days as of today) of sweet indulgences to fill the last days of pregnancy – cupcakeblog.com: (c) all rights reserved chockylit Uh huh – a blog about cupcakes.
