Wednesday was M's birthday. It was low-key; we went out for Indian food and came home for cake (Chocolate with whipped Nutella filling and whipped ganache icing! Too bad the cake was dry. FAIL.)

Within an hour I began to feel terrible. Oh no! So I've been cooped up with Owen upstairs with a horrible cold the last couple of days. Thankfully Owen's fine, just bored.

This week his class did a sweet Mother's Day 'brunch' where they made fruit salad and mini pizzas, sang songs, and presented us with gifts (bracelets made with real beads, not macaroni!). Aww.

Almost 18 weeks and I look several weeks beyond that. Fantastic.

	Oh, for sure! Plus, it doesn't help that I'm coming off a really lazy winter! Thanks! :) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I showed SO much faster with this pregnancy than I did with my first. I feel like a blimp now! Or, I look at pictures of my belly and think that it looks like Snoopy's nose. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You still look svelte, though, like you have a detachable belly! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Haha, you don't look that big! (There are plenty of non-pregnant Glaswegians who are at least that big. Maybe that's why no one seemed to notice I was pregnant until -- seriously -- about 3 weeks ago (and I'm due in 2 weeks).) Anyway, I love 'bump' progress pictures, so keep us posted!

	With Ashton, who was #2 for us, I was in maternity jeans at 4 WEEKS!!!! Bebe #2 shows up a lot sooner on the belly radar! BUT, that being said, your belly is cute! (Reply to this)(Thread)
