Dear Big Bad World,

Thanks for letting us be all up in you.

Love,
C & B (aka Nugget)

Swollen with Nugget

Sometimes people come down with dumb of the mouth, and say things to me like, “If I was that big I’d be too self-conscious to go out in public.” That’s when I struggle to remember that I own nothing but my reaction. I can let stupid, thoughtless comments affect my self-esteem. Or I can remind myself that I once thought I’d feel that way about being pregnant. Before I met my lovely little Nugget. Before he became a source of joy and pride that I’m happy and grateful to show off to the world.

I love my big round belly.

I call this shot, “Check it - earrings.”

I’m the only person in the building.  I am lonely.  Everyone else went to hear some Nobel prize winner talk about the structure of the cortical column and its effects on zzzzzzz….

I know.  I’m a bad scientist throwing away her opportunity to hear the works and thoughts of a great mind.  In my defense, we get Nobel prize winners here at least once a year, and just because they’ve won a Nobel prize, it doesn’t mean they’re necessarily good speakers.  Or interesting.  Or relevant.

Also in my defense, I have a taco salad.  And earrings to photograph.

I just did my first day of knocked-up yoga! I mean “pre-natal” yoga. Whatever.

Okay I only did 15 minutes before I got bored. Okay maybe 10.

The point is, I did exercise, gimme a cookie!!

No rebloggy por favor.

Guess who doesn’t have to hide her tummy anymore because the cat’s out of the bag?!

I always thought when I got pregnant I’d want to hide my stomach because it would look unnatural on my five foot frame.

I don’t.

I love my body this way.

Ken:  Your bra strap is showing.

Me:  Read the shirt I DON’T GIVE A DAMN!

I’m thinking this shirt’s potential for awesome will only be truly realized when I’m wearing it over a big pregnant belly…

Current status:  INVISIBLE!!!

Smiling because I finally learned what a “pocket rocket” is and what do you mean I’m not supposed to actually carry it around in my pocket?!?!
