Baby Bonobo in Alabama, 28 weeks

I heart oysters

I waited a few days after eating these oysters just to be sure that I wouldn’t get ill so that no one could say I told you so.

They were so fresh and so tasty and so worth it!

You SO Big!

I hit my third trimester this week- 28 weeks.  For the past few weeks, I have noticed a significant increase in the amount of comments regarding the size of my pregnant belly.  I know this isn’t anything new  to other pregnant or formerly pregnant women- but there are millions of women out there who somehow think it is a great idea to point out how LARGE a pregnant belly is when they see one.

The conversation usually goes with the offender first asking how much longer I have, or when I’m due.  To which I reply- “Oh I’m due in March.  I still have 12 more weeks”.  This almost always gets me a huge wide eyed look of surprise and some sort of “OMG you SO big!”.

I  heard of this before I got pregnant but I had no idea how ridiculously widespread it was- and that the biggest offenders are actually women who’ve been pregnant before.

So for the last 12 weeks of my pregnancy, I’m keeping a running tally.

2.  Waitress at the Blow Fly Inn, Gulfport Mississippi.  28 weeks.

Waitress: How much longer?

Me: Oh I’m due in March, I’ve got about 12 more weeks.

Waitress:<<The Face>> Wow!  You are ALL baby!!  Do you think you’ll even make it to March??

1.  Counter Lady at the Ship and Shore, Dauphin Island Alabama.   28 weeks.

Lady: When’s your baby due?

Me: I’m due at the end of March.  12 more weeks.

Waitress:<<The Face>> What???  You SO BIG!!!  I’ve never seen a pregnant belly that big before.  You’re gonna get so big in 12 more weeks!  Oh MY Gawd!  And I’ve had four babies- I should know about big bellies!  I was never that big.

Thanks, y’all.

Baby Bonobo’s Sling

Thanks to my sister Jessy, I have a wonderful fleece lined sling for Baby Bo.  It is amazing and I’m seriously going to have to be sending her more fabric for more slings!

James tried it out with a sack of potatoes to resemble an infant.

See the monkey fleece on the inside!

Then we decide to give Daisy a try in the sling.  She was an unwilling stand in for a baby.
