Big Announcement:
For the past two weeks, this blog seems to have been all about birthdays, poetry and head colds.
Here’s the Big Announcement:
so?
This is a photograph of me, pregnant with Spud:
Here’s one from a different angle:
Things don’t get much bigger than that.
Actually, that’s a big fat lie. Whales, mountains and my chocolate stash are bigger. Spud is bigger now (upwards, not outwards). My ego is bigger (because you keep saying nice things to me even though strictly forbidden). The tissue pile in my bin is bigger than the tissue pile in the tissue box (still milking it).
Lots of things are bigger. Including my stomach, sixteen years on.
Sigh.

Bye, and let’s do this again sometime 🙂

That’s a great interpretation of the Big challenge, glowingly pregnant. You look so young with short hair. I had my hair very short for my second pregnancy as well. Short hair does make one look younger, I just had a thought about cutting my hair but I banished it. It seems that you are starting to be on the mend, have a nice cup of tea and continue clearing out your head of all the bad stuff with the tissues.

I have had short hair most of my life. It would be short now if I could afford regular visits to the hairdresser 🙂

That’s not your stomach silly, that’s your belly. I nominated you for the Sunshine Award, although I have no idea how to get it. I noticed Al had it on his site. Perhaps you can steal his. Dianne
