T-shirt is a must. Be careful, girl! (And don’t worry about the brain drain … it’s a pregnancy thing. The faculties come right back when the baby is born and its time to function at optimal. At least until the sleep deprivation gets ya). Hang in there…

Those composites are fabulous! What a wonderful idea. And yeah, you got boobs, baby.

U/S are your best friend. They tell a great deal noninvasively, almost painlessly (sometimes the probe hurts pressed against the ribs).

Get the tshirt and wear it constantly. Retire it after the third stage of labor. Be safe. We love you.

What clever and loving and creative friends you have! I especially love “li’l bookish.”

When I was pregnant I quickly found that I was much more comfortable sitting than standing, even before I had gained an ounce. Sometimes our bodies just take over and tell us what to do, everything else be damned. Best of luck — I’d recommend wrapping yourself with pillows held on by bungee cords. At least everyone who saw you would be forewarned. Altho the t-shirt is brilliant.

Clearly you should just stop standing up altogether. Come to my house and live on the couch.

I love the picture game!!

Maybe you should wear a padded helmet (giggling). Seriously, I hope this is just a passing phase, ’cause it sounds scary.

What kind of sock heels? Short row, heel flap, afterthought? I like heel flaps, myself, I don’t like the wrap and turn thing as much as picking up gusset stitches, but I can do both. Send ‘em to me, I turn a mean heel…

I love that tote! Filled with books too? That is the perfect gift. What fabulous friends you have.
That does look like a fun shower game. I am going to remember that one.
I hope all goes well with your tests. Good for you to warn people – it is scary to see pregnant ladies falling! This way too maybe someone can stop you from falling.
N sounds adorable!

As mom always said, “This too, shall pass”. What a cool reunion! So good for the soul.

Why did your post make me think the following:

Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.

I love that your friends bought you books! My parents house was always exploding with books when I was little and I really can’t put into words how important just being around them was. Your friends are awesome.

Those photos remind me of Conan O’Brien’s “If They Mated” bit. Have you seen that?

I’m glad i wasn’t drinking anything while reading your post, b/c soda really hurts when it goes through your nose. Sorry to hear you are still experiencing the fall downs… glad it’s not anything wrong with your ticker.
Weob or Wonby. love the names your college pals came up with!
