Glow Worm

Your Mom is positively glowing these days. She just has a smile on her face all the time and is ebulient, bubbly, chipper and funny to boot!

Of course your Cousin Addison can always make your Mom smile; but the "pregnancy glow" is totally obvious in this pic. Who else could smile that big while being ditched on a rock while left holding two lemonades?

Even when she's not feeling good, or a bit sickly, she's still got this glow about her. You hear people talk about the "glow" of pregnancy all the time, but to experience it first hand is really an incredible experience...even if she does still tell me how bad I smell.

Nap Time

Shhh... your Mom is sleeping! (And it's DAY time!)

I forgot to tell you that one of the other side effects of pregnancy is extreme sleepiness. Your Mom is soporific for a good part of every day! (Put that word in your hat; save it for use on the future SATs) (note to self, buy child a hat).

It seems that growing a child takes a lot of energy!

So, your Mom naps.

She naps in bed, and on the couch and she naps in the car (but that's only when I'm driving).

But she never naps alone. These guys go bonkers if she ever tries to nap without them.

All this napping is a really good thing, though, it keeps your Mommy mostly human! So take good notes, because you will probably be a napper too.

Or, you could be like me, who doesn't nap well, but can't stay awake through a movie that's started after 10pm and just occasionally falls asleep at the keyboard (which makes a lovely pattern like this : llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll).

Sweet dreams!

I'm gonna go prod your Mom with a broomstick to make sure she's still breathing.
