Today some friends threw me a party to celebrate motherhood/womanhood. It was lovely. In true baby shower form, we decorated onesies, shared lots of pregnancy/motherhood stories and wisdom, ate and drank, and were merry.

After most people left, Lara and Amanda made a cast of my pregnant belly...looking at it, I am amazed at my rotundness.

I did a giant painting when I was pg with Gillian that I was happy with, soo....
