I've been found out! Facebook officially knows about the pregnancy now. Well, that's what happens when you talk about it freely on LiveJournal but don't say anything about it on a social networking site. I managed to go 34 weeks or thereabouts without saying anything, though. I was just going to post some pictures when the event happened. I ( Read more... )

30 weeks today. I finally have stretch marks that are visible. Goddammit! I asked my mother if she got any, and she said she did, so I suppose it was only a matter of time for me.
