Congratulations darlin!! That is awesome news. BTW..I know a good doula if you need one. And feel free to contact me with any baby or pregnancy questions...been there done that ....more than once.

Re: Wheee!!!

Yay! It is right?! I have a midwife who is handling my pre-natal appointments and we're planning on a home birth, but I would love to talk with you how a doula fits into the whole picture. Hopefully I'll see you this weekend.

Wow! Congratulations!

[radiantmephit]

Thank you! I am really looking forward to trying belly dancing again once the baby is out and about. My pre-natal yoga teacher stresses the importance of activating your stomach muscles after birth. The core muscles get so stretched out due to the baby.

If your interested in dabbling with it sooner - both of these DVDs got good reviews on Amazon.com.

Oooh, excellent! THANK YOU!

Congratulations! Nice use of horizontal stripes, there.

[radiantmephit]

That's what I'm talking about! You would not believe how many maternity tops are sporting horizontal stripes right now. I don't know if these designers think they're being rebellious or what, but seriously, where's a nice v-neckline with some embellishment on a plain color tee when you need it?

[clevermanka]

Most fashion designers are men with, at minimum, slightly misogynistic tendencies. At worst, they're active women-haters with no inclination to honestly flatter a curvy form. Angular girls have got it made in the shade, but this is why I make almost all my own clothes. =b

Good luck finding that perfect V-neck top.

Speaking of not being angular, I've been meaning to email you because I saw this illustrated character that totally reminds me of you. Have you heard of Bayonetta?

Bwaa ha ha ha! I FORGOT about rebooting karate training! Damn, who needs sleep?

[nottygypsy]

I liked the "I have a really hard time saying no to things in the late Summer, early Fall" I'd say your condition makes that apparent!

GREAT NEWS! Congrats, you are glowing!
