Ten glorious days of peace!
The Company held up great without this girl; big kudos to Brunei Princess who had to step in to deal with clients and projects. The Boy managed to NOT open his lappy which he lugged along like a security blanket and only fielded like three work calls all trip choosing to [...]

Given they had no real plans in Melbourne they started each day, lazily with a sleep in then a trudge for food. Usually, that meant simply walking around till they felt hungry or something caught their fancy. It was a lovely way to live, really.
As this girl trudges along her getting more pregnant, she’s begun [...]

This Girl is a little over five months pregnant and she’s had what The Mother terms a “neat” pregnancy. From the back, she pretty much looks the same, her arms, face, legs and general overall body size has remained the same. Ok, ok, the boobs are fuller but no one complains about that, really.

An old classmate had one of the most harrowing- and traumatic- pregnancies.

When this girl was in college/university, she double majored in Political Science and Psychology; her honours thesis was an amalgamation of both schools (political psychology) where she studied the impact of foreign policy on domestic opinion and elections. She keeps a pulse- as far as she can, anyway- on this world is racked with such [...]
week 18: thinking a new wardrobe is needed
Posted in pregnancy, tagged maternity clothes, pregnancy, weigh gain on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Given that this girl is relatively petite, she’s gotten away with keeping most of her usual wardrobe, sans the tight fitted dresses and pants. She’s had to pack up her pants, skirts and shorts since most of them were bought to fit her then 24″ waist. So, a while back, she traded her low slung [...]
