Yes I’m 27 weeks along on the pregnancy road!  The baby is the size of an eggplant now and seems to correlate with the size of my growing belly.  I will probably be posting a lot more baby related posts on this blog, but will try to keep it mixed up with other things — but I can’t guarantee that this won’t turn into a full-blown mommy blog.  There’s just so much to discuss about in this world!!  I will also be posting a lot of baby stuff on the other blog that I share with pa pa.

I’m still working full-time now which makes it tough to post regularly.  After work I want to do nothing but surf the internets about baby things, and on the weekend I like to lounge around the apartment while husbie makes breakfast.  Now that I’m heading into the third trimester, I’m ready to start thinking about my labor and just ordered this book from Amazon: Natural Hospital Birth: The Best of Both Worlds.  I’m planning on giving birth at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital at the Birthing Center but am trying to prepare myself in case I won’t be allowed to (depending on when the baby decides to arrive.. if it’s breech.. etc…)  I really want an unmedicated birth and am going to try to stay in labor for as long as I can at home before heading to the hospital (which is only 5 blocks away).  I know a lot of moms say this and end up demanding pain killers but if anyone knows me they know I will really follow up on this… I think pain is relative and can be mentally controlled.  We’ll see.

I’m still actually going to band practice which isn’t too demanding since we haven’t had any new shows since June.  We are planning on a show in November and a radio show next week.  I don’t know if I will be able to do more than that though, pregnancy does make me lethargic but I would like to play one show where I’m nice and big.
