In case your curious, there really IS something there in that belly.  What is it, though?  Basketball?  Watermelon?

I am 29 weeks, 6 days.  So tomorrow starts the home stretch — 30 weeks.  Both the other kids were born at 39 weeks, so we’ll see when this one decides to emerge.  As per the usual, I am carrying really low, and I feel that.  There is a lot of pressure and a lot of weight despite the fact that I haven’t piled on weight at the usual rate for myself.

We went to Atlanta last weekend and enjoyed an indulgent phase of eating (R Thomas, Soul Vegetarian, Cafe Sunflower, and Green Sprout) and a very relaxing stay at the Peach House, where we had the big suite again, complete with claw-footed bathtub.  It’s fantastic there, and we had a great trip on our own before coming home to work some more on all the stuff.  All the getting ready for baby stuff, combining kids’ rooms stuff, etc.  It was a nice break!  Now, though, things are really setting in.  The kids’ bunkbeds are here, we’ll soon put the crib together, and before we know it, a couple of months will pass and we will have a tiny baby again.  Unreal.
