the 17 week old onion

according to the food-obsessed experts at baby center, little z is now the size of a large onion. (hey - maybe that's why my pits smell like they do....)

today is 17 weeks, and wow - do i feel pregnant. when i got up during the night to go to the little mother's room, i realized i was waddling. must get a grip on the waddle - way too soon for waddle. also, my shirts are riding up frequently, which would be ideal if i were, say, a porn star, but it's somewhat frowned upon in the world of banking. what's sad is that these are maternity shirts riding up - i'm going to be wearing pup tents by july.

today is also our first bloggiversary. this post is number 445! how is that possible? i guess we have occasionally made more than one post a day or posted on the same day, and there are some picture posts.... still, it seems like a big number for a year. i'd be curious to see what percentage of posts i made compared to justin; i'd guess ten-to-one. i wish justin would post more, but still i'm glad to blog with him. and i'm still grateful that a year ago today, when i couldn't think of a title as cool as his, that justin let me join his blog.

I bet you're cute when you waddle.

I always have trouble with pants sliding up over my belly when I'm pregnant. (Oh...by the way...thanks for the input on the underwear situation.)

I'm glad Justin let you join his blog too. You guys are a great team and you've done a good thing sharing your story with the rest of us. Happy bloggiversary.

You've certainly made a mark in the blogisphere in one intense year - both of you:)

And it would be depressing to think a large onion could be responsible for waddling - Z MUST be bigger than that!!

Congrats on both these milestones - I can't wait to meet Z when you bring him/her for a holiday here:D

I'm also in maternity clothes a lot sooner this time around, and have definitely noticed a waddle. I wonder if it's all because I started this pregnancy a little bigger, or because I am having a girl. There may be something to the myth that boys make you pretty and girls make you fat. At least it seems true in my case!

Happy bloggiversary!!!

Oh - and as an alternative to the large onion, Z is now the size of a regulation (non-Chicago) softball.

Gosh you are almost half-way through! Whoo hoo!

I popped out a lot faster this second time around. On the bright side I had more belly and less ass!

david, shuddup - i DO use it. sometimes, i use two different ones, one right after the other. it doesn't work. it's a freakish pregnancy thing for me. as soon as i pop z out, i'll be smelling like roses - fresh ones, not rotting ones. honest.

And I say welcome the waddle... or at least welcome it at home and try to keep it hidden for a few more weeks out in public!!
