Because You Asked

I know, I know, I know. Our blog has been a wasteland for almost four months now. Should I bother with excuses? I could ramble off a few but then I'd turn this into a long post that I would never actually finish, like the post I'm writing in response to Michelle's tag. I've been working on it for a week or two.


To be honest, I'm a bit flattered that anyone even cares even though I know how excited I get to read new things on other peoples' blogs. That said, I can understand how annoying ours is. Is it considered bad blog etiquette to read through your friends' blogs every day and then offer nothing on your own blog in return? If so, I am soooo rude.


I have received a few requests for pictures of "the bump" and so Andrew and I went to the park on Sunday and made an effort at filling that request. Unfortunately, I feel like my body is growing more than one bump. For some reason my behind and other less mentionable body parts seemed to want to get in on the growing action and have started competing with the baby bump. This kind of dampens my enthusiasm for posting bump pictures, but since anyone that actually reads this blog has probably seen me in worse states than the one I'm in right now, I will trust in your friendship and post. This is the moment my love for you overrides my vanity. Enjoy. I can't say it will happen often. Oh, this is at 30 weeks.

Don't sweat the lack of blog posts. You'll have TONS of time to blog after the baby is born.

Yes, I agree with Meech, you look pretty and happy and pregnant, but not fat. That is a good pose too, the handbag has a slimming effect. :)

Now write more and post more pictures!

Gorgeous!! Now you need to tell us if it's a boy or girl!!

Cheech said...

Yup, the missus cleans up real nice. I let her put on some shoes and leave the kitchen to take this pic. As you can see, even though it's not in her natural environment, she still pulls it off with aplomb.

I figure after the baby is born I'll have more interesting things to post about. You know, pictures of it sitting and sleeping and eating. People seem to be more interested in those things when a baby does them rather than when I do, although I'm fairly confident in my abilities to do them much better than a baby.

Andrew and Marie Benson said...

Oh, and sorry, still no word on boy or girl.

Heidi Lyn said...

Yay! I think you look amazing and I want to come see you before mystery baby comes.

Andrew and Marie Benson said...

Come come come, Heidi. We've furnished our flat with guests in mind. More than we've furnished it with baby in mind, unfortunately. All it needs is a crib, some clothes, and diapers, right?

Marie you are gorgeous!! You make pregnancy look so lovely! I know what you mean about other parts of your body trying to grow at the same time... I'm not sure what that's all about. I can't wait to see your little angel!
