I had quit ice cream for fear for becoming a full-fledged rhino versus a baby-rhino...but my willpower is waning.... I'm not sure I can make it until February 29th without ice cream....jesus...now I don't even feel like I can make it until the end of the day..:*) GOD this made me laugh….and smile out of “getting-it-ness”…I am about 2 weeks behind you and have reached the all-encompassing NEVER-COMFORTABLE-PHASE…and it’s hard…damn hard…and I don’t even have a toddler to wrangle…although I do have a beagle to control (probably almost as bad, true story!).

Even after seeing many ultrasounds and then him actually coming out, I still couldn't come to grips with the fact that it was that baby over there that was in my belly. For sure a small dog or alien or something...but not a baby. Try to enjoy your ice cream eating and crappy last weeks of pregnancy...the mayhem is about to commence! Good Luck!

Vanilla milkshakes replaced the solace of a glass of wine. In the bathtub while my son wrapped his toes around my ribcage so he could more accurately put pressure on my bladder! Now I'm hooked on your blog. Thanks! Potty training happens when you have worked forever and they finally agree to give it a try. Not a minute before. I thought my boy would be wearing size 5 with a snap crotch! I did switch to pull-ups (from 2 years of cloth) when daughter was nearly here and the huffing and puffing of diaper change was too much.

I was awakened by the slup,slup,slup,slupping sound of our beagle licking one of his body parts and my first thought was of you -- and then I had a good chuckle.

I think you're hilarious and I've enjoyed all your posts, just wanted to tell you that if nothing else, you've got another loyal reader out of all the mess. Oh but by the way, I read the Black Chardonnay post and never mind, you stick toothpicks in Dog's eyes? You're a horrible person. Actually I'm just resentful because I'm one of the English majors you mentioned. Damnit.

And after reading this of your pregnancy and Beth's most recent over at SoTheFishSaid, I'm officially very intimidated and even scared of getting to that point when my belly will have "corners." *shudder* I am 17 weeks and one day so far.

I mean, yes, natural in the sense that your body does it automatically... but pushing a live BABY out of something that is measured in centimeters... that's anything but natural, to me. (I can say that because I know you're having a C-section, right?) I read in a book (The Hours, maybe?) that women used to be put under general anesthesia during labor, and all I could think was WHY DON'T WE DO THAT NOW? Something about "safety", I suppose.

My first was punctuated by the definately visable turning from breech to normal by my son. Yes, we watched his head go from under my boobs to one side then his butt appear where the head had just been! Freaky! Also, painful as he**! My second son was less movement prone, which was explained at birt when he had the cord around his neck WAY tight. Yes, the movement is nice before 34 weeks, but after, it just sucks donkey ass! And about the potty training comment above, WTF! My 2.5 year old has known what the potty is for since he turned 2, but since he's an extremely independent monkey and refused for a month to even look at it, we decided to quit pushing and let him take the lead. He's almost ready for undies now, but still won't poop in the toilet! It's just gotta be on their terms, not yours! I so remember the last weeks of both pregnancies.

Then again, My Kid was born the last day of August. In Memphis. Still, calcium right? I ate ice cream every day when I was pregnant. Then again, My Kid was born the last day of August. In Memphis.
