At this point, I'm almost hoping that Norah is a mammoth-sized baby, just so that her birth means that I'll soon be rid of all this bulk. Try rolling out of bed with this belly! I look, and feel, like a beached whale.In non-preggo news, I am happy to report that my self-serving campaign to get you guys to read and vote for my published short story paid off, and it was selected as July's "Story of the Month"! So thanks for taking the time to go and read and vote; I appreciate it! I don't win any kind of monetary prize, nor will I get a shiny trophy (damn!), but I do get to score bragging rights and the story will be published in the magazine's annual print edition. Getting that awesome news today was exactly what I needed: It definitely helped lift me out of the funk I've been feeling for the last few days.
First! Yes!

Rather than risk never being able to comment to your blog, I'm going to agree with the three ladies...... WOW!
ReplyDeleteWow you are huge! i mean, it's got to feel good to know you are this close to the end of the pregnancy. and huge = glowing, that's supposed to be a compliment.

ReplyDeleteYou looked fabulous in the picture. I would have to say any minute by now!
ReplyDeleteYou need to make your own trophy! I saw a place in a strip mall a while back that would do it for you in no time flat. The real question - would you put a book on the top or a keyboard?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on first place, it really was a good story. You look fabulous, hope Norah arrives soon!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the story!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome and you are so close now!
You are all baby. It is all going to go away real quickly. Just look how fit the rest of you is! looking so cute. Congrats on the story!
ReplyDeleteYeah for the story! You look adorable! I had a weird feeling today and went to check your blog, anytime now!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I feel like a gigantasaurus too! I can't believe how much harder it is to move around - feels like it changed almost over night! Hope you're staying comfortable!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! I know what you mean though... I'm at 39 weeks and 5 days and feeling like I'm never going to have this baby!
ReplyDeleteYou still look fantastic!! You are nothing but belly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the story!
The funk is almost over, I remember looking/feeling like that with my son. I was HUGE, bigger than you. When you're holding Norah in your arms you might for a second just miss the days when she was moving inside you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the article.
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you do look impressively large in that photo. Only because you look so cute and small everywhere else and then torpedo belly! Pregnant bodies are funny.
*Word verification: sucalife :)
Congrats on the story - and thanks for all your posts on running/exercising while pregnant. I'm 30 weeks along and you've helped me keep running the whole time :)
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a lot of weight for you to be carrying around on your small frame, but I still think you look great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning story of the month!
