Three and a Half Weeks Later

JANUARY!!!
Here I am at 29 1/2 weeks, just over 10 to go. Yikes!!! Would you say I've "popped"? I would. And what's a measly 10 pounds in a month among friends? The baby already weighs 35 lbs, you know. Honestly. Almost big enough not to need a car seat anymore. They double checked. I am the first woman who will ACTUALLY have the baby that drops her back to her pre-pregnancy weight. It's an honor, really. I'd like to thank Christmas for it's love and support in my pursuit of appetizers and pie; I'd like to thank my sofa for being there when I needed someone to lean on for hours at a time; I'd like to thank my Barn-Raising Quilt for giving me something "better" to do; and of course my darling Zuul, without whom I'd never be able to justify drinking egg nogg after Christmas is over (it's on special, you know).
