Belly alert


To those of you who might be eating while reading this, I apologize. This is my stomach. It is not attractive, I know. You may notice that it's also, let's be honest here, quite large.
Huge, in fact. And getting bigger, which is a little scary to contemplate as I toss and turn each night desperate to find a comfortable position.

And getting bigger, which is a little scary to contemplate as I toss and turn each night desperate to find a comfortable position.

But the oddest thing is what's going on inside. Last week, I began noticing this odd rolling feeling in my belly anytime I sat still for an extended period. Perhaps, I thought, I'm back to having some gastrointestinal distress anytime I eat. Then the rolling turned into more of a poking. A jabbing. Like, say, a tiny little hand, foot, elbow or knee desperately trying to get my attention.

Is anyone troubled by how incredibly white my stomach is? I'm like Casper the Not-Entirely Friendly Ghost.

No. There is valor in pallor! That's my story, and I'm sticking to that.

Dude, what about the "extended post" option?! Or any of those NetNanny services? :-)

Jes kidding. I dig the belly. Yours, anyway. Sorry I can't rub it and feel the attention-getting. One of my former colleagues pointed out that my own is getting pronouncedly large without procreative legitimacy.

Speaking of small people, how is Little Man Griff adjusting the adjusting?

a body pillow can totally help- I'm already employing one. You look sensational! (Nice use of light in the photo, Judybat)
My belly is kicking a hello to your belly. :)

Have you tried a nice linden flower tea before bed? It's helpful, though not as much so as Ambien. I don't think Ambien is good for the baby, so have you tried a nice linden flower (Tila in the Latino part of the supermarket) tea?

I tried Ambien once. It didn't work. Then again, it also didn't drive me into a drug-fueled feeding frenzy, so I guess I should be happy.

I think it, and you look great! try a pillow between your legs that can ease some discomfort.

I thought I was the only one who was driven into a drug-fueled feeding frenzy by Ambien. I also bought a bunch of stuff once and had no idea where it had come from until I put two and two together. Ambien once caused me to try to paint a bookcase using only disused nail polish. Drugs can be trouble that way.

But how did the bookcase look? Maybe Ambien is the key to your inner artist/personal shopper.

My God- the bookcase looked like ass. The things that arrived in the mail were unspeakable. I am surprised I did not order one of those crazy sets of "238 knives for only $49.99" from the shopping channel. It all reminded me of the time my room mate got really stoned and then tried to balance her checkbook when she got all paranoid (suddenly- and about money). It ended in tears. Ambien just makes me wander around in a partial amnesiac fog with increased potential for making bad decisions.

I'm late to this post, but had to chip in my $.02 about how beautiful that belly is. Greet the jabber for me!!
