Charlotte’s head is down. Unlikely to pop back out again.
Can I get a high five?

Yesterday
I had a ‘worst day ever’ at work. It was totally crazy. I didn’t eat lunch until 2.30pm. I almost tore my hair out with frustration. And I didn’t finish until 2 hours later than I had planned. Adding to the work stress was a full hour of wondering why my baby had not kicked all day.
Today
I am having a ‘best day ever’ at work. I caught up with a bunch of colleagues I haven’t seen in ages and enjoyed being oohed and aaahed over. I’ve had a quiet hour at my desk catching up on some stuff. And now I’m heading down to the Standard Grill for a client lunch. Doctor appointment later this afternoon and breastfeeding class tonight.
Reblogged from sartorial.
This was the street that John and I stayed on when we were in Paris. I looked about 10% as stylish as this lovely lady.
I didn’t get morning sick.
I didn’t get fat.
I didn’t get overly tired (after my first trimester).
I didn’t get crazy cravings.
I didn’t get heartburn.
I didn’t get swollen feet, hands, or face.
I didn’t get anything bad.
I was like my normal self, albeit with a baby bump.
But I would be willing to swap all of that for a baby that was currently facing head down.
Going to the OB this afternoon for a scan to see what she’s up to in there. Hopefully she has wiggled her way into landing position.
Fingers crossed.
Look who got a puppy cut!
What a cutie-pie.
We went to watch some basketball at Madison Square Garden last night. It was the Big East thingy (in case that means something to you).
When John went to use the restroom I waited outside with his beer. I greatly enjoyed all the double takes and stares I received from the people walking past - their eyes flicking from the beer to my bump and back again.
“Wow she’s really pregnant. Like TEN months pregnant. Can we take a photo of her?”
— John overheard some guys in the restroom at MSG talking about me. It’s true - my outfit today makes me look super pregnant. Maybe the fact I was holding a beer made it a good photo opp…..
ALL Bran, my ass.
I bought a box of All Bran from the corner store last night because it appeared to be the only one that wasn’t laden down with sugar.
I happened to glance at the ingredients when I got home.
Second ingredient: Sugar.
Third ingredient: High fructose corn syrup.
And then another million or so ingredients of crap after that.
OH MY GOD. I was so pissed off.
Guess who is getting groomed for the first time today (providing the groomers are in).
My friend Sarah alerted me to the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar won the vote on Babycenter for Most Popular Celebrity Baby Name.
Her name?
Charlotte Grace.
Good work, Sarah Michelle, good work.
In other news, I’m actually wavering a teensy-tiny bit on the name.
