yeah, i don't know what my kid is doing in there. sometimes i get a little tap-tap and that's it so far. can't wait to see what he looks like next week...

do you have any photos of the status of your belly appearance? I already look about 6 months :P

are you planning on finding out thesex at your ultrasound? (or, since you're calling him "he", have you already?) we're considering actually getting an ultrasound this time... because when you've got a daughter followed by 2 sons, and your daughter is already insisting the baby is a little sister.. that whole "let's be surprised at the birth!" thing kinds loses something. we're still a bit undecided, but if we do, we aren't telling anyone. bwahahaha. it'll be our little secret.

i took it last weekend at Aunt Lori's request. I don't feel that big yet, except for these boobs which are just huge and keep getting in the way. our ultrasound is next weds and we totally need to know. i'm so not good with surprises. Usually i call him/her "the kid" but it will be nice to know what type of kid we're getting..

belly pics for you yet?

ha.. you think your boobs are huge now... wait until your milk comes in!

cute belly! and it's probably all baby, too. I have no pictures as of yet, because what with all the extra flab hanging around from last pregnancy, bloat, etc. it seems like lying to call it a baby belly knowing the baby is tucked somewhere deep beneath the surface :P I will probably take some soon, though, since an LJ friend just sent me a box of maternity clothes, including and awesome octopus skirt I'm dying to show off ;)

oh, and you know what could be fun? you could join my due date group! (november08) I know you're october, but we've got a few october moms hanging around already... we do weekly updates on monday, same 5 questions every week, but of course the answers change from week to week... and on wednesday we have a picture post.. usually belly photos or ultrasounds, but it could be anything from "look at this cute thing I bought for the baby!" to "I have no photos this week so I'll just google an image of a food I've been craving.."

anyway.. just something you can consider, or not.

the community looks cool, but i totally don't have time (or reliable internet connection) to get sucked in to an lj community just now. i might browse it a bit now and then though. overall i'm really not online so much these days since i stopped working full time.
i have been awfully busy quilting though..
can't wait to see your octapus skirt, i'm totally jealous that you have same-size pregnant friends. even if my friends were having kids now, all the japanese girls go from a size 0 to a size 6. no borrowing clothes from them. I found a few comfy things at the thrift store though, but C's mom freaked out when he told her (they don't do second-hand stuff in greece i guess?) so i went to a real maternity shop to make her happy. today i'm loving my new maternity shorts. waaaaaay too comfy.

eh, I just thought I'd mention it. I know you haven't been around LJ much lately so I kinda figured you wouldn't take on something extra. oh well.

I wish I could find maternity stuff at our thrift store. they just mix it in with the regular clothes... I'm not going through 4000 women's shirts just on the offchance that one perfect maternity shirt will be in there :P

I took photos yesterday! here's my octopus maternity skirt, and a bit of my belly:

Skirt, belly, & hair cut are all very cute.
