i know what you’re thinking – no FREAKING way – she’s back.  well, i’m not sure if i would go that far.  it seems that this little bundle of joy that is quickly growing in my belly is sapping up every last ounce of my energy – creative and otherwise.  i know i’m supposed to be writing everything down – first kick, how quickly my nails are growing, how we weighed (literally) the options when choosing the perfect stroller and car seat, but i just can’t seem to get my act together.  it’s true, i do have so much to say.  i just seem to have no ability or drive with which to say it.

it’s gorgeous here in SF today and i am taking full advantage by sitting on the back patio, in a purple mumu that is too short to wear in public (due to the rise in my belly).  i think pregnant looks a bit better with some sun so i’m trying to grab it where i can.  my advice for all of you who think about one day spawning – do it in SF.  while my friends are literally wilting on the east coast, i’ve spent most of my summer happily tucked into leggings and sweaters, no overheating, no sweating, no humidity.  i’ve already made a deal with ABN – i’ll live anywhere he wants to live as long as the next time we decide to do this, i can be pregnant in SF.

you’ll also be glad to know that in last couple of months since my last update, i’ve stopped consuming two bagels a day.  sure, carbs still make for one happy lady but i’ve sorta moved on to fruit as well.  put a bowl of peaches in front of me, i’ll eat the whole thing.  cut up a watermelon – i’ll down the entire thing in one sitting.  yes, there are pictures to prove it.

i guess i should tell you that the baby did start kicking – and it has been exciting, and pee inducing.  it feels like often the baby is kicking directly into my bladder.  my day goes a lot like this: kick, kick, pee.  kick, kick, pee.  again, i feel very lucky to be working from home and to never be too far away from the toilet.

now wasn’t that worth the wait?
