When I walked into the teacher's lounge yesterday for lunch, the almost unanimous consensus was that I looked like Notepad (not known as that offline, of course;)) had dropped.

Pregnancy is at 28 weeks, 1 day (not sure what happened to that 1 day *shrug*)

Weight-- 192 lbs. I think. Gained a pound, anyway.

Blood pressure-- Good. Don't remember the numbers.
