Biggie Bigs

Yeah, I know, I still have a long way to go, but may I just say, "Wow, I'm big!" The bare side view is pretty wild. I've just never been shaped like this before. Wacky. I am only halfway there, and somehow, I'm going to get way, way bigger.

Today I found a hot shirt at a consignment shop. I looked in the mirror and thought, "Now that looks good." Sort of a rare thought these days.

My girlfriend Jenine came to visit over the weekend and surprised me with a whole of bunch of cute new maternity clothes, including this adorable velvet dress and jacket from Target that I'd been eyeing just the day before. She must have picked up my brainwaves. I felt so pampered.

There's movement every day - usually in the evening, but sometimes during the day. Little scrambles and pokes. So far, a spicy lunch and a Christmas concert have inspired the most movement.

I did a short live set at a party last week - it was so good for me (as usual). Then I hung out and listened to the other bands. I suddenly started worrying that the sound was too loud for the baby. (Should I leave? Should I move away from the noise? Could it hurt baby's ears? Isn't it good for baby to begin to love rock?) It was just a moment of realizing the complexity of trying to think for two. Whew.

Now, off to steam some spinach and broil some fish...
