For Felix, Laura and Gayle

So I still haven't had the baby which means either I will be over a week late (please, Lord, no) and you will still get to be there and see the baby brand new, or you will get to see the little Legg when it is a week or a few days old and just as cute. I am hoping for the latter because otherwise Jason's life will be miserable for the next two weeks. Have fun in B.C.!!!!!!

BAH!

Ok it's time to put your prayer-warrior suits on and pray this baby out of me! I know my due date has not even come yet, but I am getting beyond bored and frustrated with the myriad pains of childbearing. Could you put your requests in for tonight? That would be great since Laura, Felix, and Gayle are leaving on Wednesday and they are anxious to meet the little Legg as well. So yeah, tonight would be good.

And the winners are...

As of right now:

Madeleine Emma
Elliott Benjamin

MIA

Pretty much going to be MIA for the next couple of weeks (or until this baby is born). After venting to Jay tonight I realized that I am fairly miserable company and that I have this (natural? nesting?) urge to never leave the house. So aside from a couple of plans that we have made, expect to hear little or not at all from me. And to see me less. I still love you. It's actually because I love you that I am protecting you all from the she-bear that is exposing itself in these final weeks. Rawr! Rawr! She-bear!

Seriously

Could I get any bigger? I don't think so. I am now getting to the point where everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, agitates me. The other day Mira and I were shopping and I wanted to slap around some of the sales clerks just because they said hi to me and I didn't like their retail insincerity. I am hyper-sensitive about people saying things like, "Oh, your first baby? Probably be late, honey, sorry" or "Just enjoy your time to yourself right now." Oh yeah, sure. Easy for you to say when you aren't truckin' around an extra and sudden 40 lbs., when your back isn't constantly in agony, when you can't sleep because of pain, and when your hormones aren't entirely out of whack! And why do complete strangers feel it's necessary to turn me around, look me up and down, and assess whether I am having a boy or girl based on whether I am carrying a lot in my butt! Hrrmmmmpppffffffffffffffffffff!!!!!! Stop the insanity!!!!!!

Ok, I'm done. For now.

Two New and Exciting Things (No, I Haven't Had the Baby)

The other day Jay and I were eating lunch at the ever-so-sketchy, not-so-palatable and slightly nauseating Buffet World and I got a fortune cookie whose fortune read: "A surprise announcemement will free you." Hmmmm...interesting. I don't know how much of a surprise it will be, but at this point in time it will certainly be liberating for my back when I have the wee baby.

Secondly, Jason and I have found a new apartment! It is on Aberdeen in between Queen and Locke and we really love it. It has two bedrooms which are kind of essential for the baby-ness and a roof-top patio which is kind of essential for our social-ness. So when we move in mid-August we want to have a little get-together and invite y'all out. You dig it?

Yep, so that's the big news so far. Hoping to have some real big news, real soon.
