Thanks! :)

I think that varies. Mine got smaller again.

I'm 5'2". So maxis are more like my frenemy. I WANT to wear them, but they either drag on the ground, or...even if they do fit, they make me look odd.

A reverse image search got me nothing. And I can't read the watermark. Maybe if somebody else can read the photographer's watermark, they can figure out who took the picture, then e-mail them and ask about it?

Ah. See, I don't have any people I don't feel comfortable blocking. So I guess I'll count myself lucky in that regard.

Now that you mention it, a dress would be awesome. I've got one or two I could probably still fit in. Of course...I don't have any tights or hose that fit, and I can't see my legs to shave them. The hair is light and fine, so visually, I *might* be able to pull it off if nobody looked closely...but I HATE how it…

lol

I think part of it has to do with the fact that the internet, and especially Jez, is often felt like a safe place to bitch about the discomforts, sacrifices, and inconveniences of parenthood instead of having to pretend it's all roses and butterflies all the time.

I love it for most of the pregnancy. There are periods where certain discomforts really suck the fun out of it, but other times it's just weird and awesome because there's a mini human...inside another human. We're turducken for zombies!

Oh gawd. I'm 39weeks and 2 days with baby #2 and am so annoyed that the stupid maternity clothes don't even fit me anymore (especially the pants). I've got a few things that still fit...but not enough to get me through the week.

I'm a proud ginger! I LOVE red hair! The only way I could love my hair color more is if it were even redder!

I hate to admit it...but they're probably pretty comfy and would be worth the look. And with how lightweight Crocs usually are...these could be some runner's dream shoes.

Can all us Jezzies band together and bump that number way higher? Wouldn't that just be the best?

True, both are obnoxious. Though at least some women with children remember a little of what it was like before they had kids (though too many forget). Still, people need to stop spouting off like they have special insight into others' motivations and inner feelings.

I love when women who've never had children speak about those of us who have like they're experts on how we feel and what our lives are or are not.

OMG Shelley! Did you go to BYU???

Really interesting. I'll have to do some reading up, not that I ever plan on getting arrested. It's still neat to learn about. :)

Really? I'm a permanent resident, and woefully uninformed about legal procedures here (US citizen). I am surprised Canada doesn't have similar protections for the accused.

I think it was the older brother who was out of the country. Maybe?

I did OK for most of the pregnancy (I don't drink a ton when not pregnant). But I am ready to be able to drink again. ManDork brews his own beer and wine (and it's not half bad). And I am SO looking forward to mimosas on Mother's Day.
