At Least I Have Sunsets
Nope. No baby yet. In fact I’m pretty much resigned to the idea that I’m going to have to be induced and that won’t happen until the 25th or so. I don’t really want to go through that but as the days go by and I see no new symptoms, I’m accepting the fact that I’m probably going to be part of that 80 percent of new moms who deliver late. Of course. Why would I go against the grain?
So yeah, I’m going crazy. I feel like a cow. I hate to go out of the house because nothing fits and I look like a freak. I’m already stressing about how I’m going to lose all this weight post baby. I know, I know… breast feeding is like hooking up to a human liposuction machine (thanks to Carrie for that image) but it isn’t consoling me.
But when I do go out, at least I am rewarded by beautiful sunsets!
I’m sorry to be down today… I really do appreciate you crossing all your “bendy parts” for me. I just… well, I WANT THIS BABY ALREADY! I’m perturbed at her because I think she’s being stubborn. Toby says it’s my fault not the baby’s fault. He says my insides are too healthy and they won’t let her come out. Whatevs.

Inner Chai Cuteness
Though I’d hate to have ugly google ads along the side of my blog, I have to admit it would be pretty cool to pay a mortgage on a house by blogging. Not that this blog is anywhere near getting the traffic needed to draw advertisers to pay me mega bucks like that, but I have to admit the thought has crossed my mind.
Well, guess what?!!!! In an indirect way, without being a complete sell out, I did get paid for blogging! Or at least for linking. I didn’t get paid any actual money but someone I linked to sent me some merchandise FOR FREE!!!!!
Here’s how it all went down: When I first got pregnant I changed my “obsession” block of links in my sidebar from all about Paris to all about baby stuff… because well, I’m obsessed and I like to look at baby things now. Well, guess what? Turns out a lot of you readers do too! And because I linked to Green Tea Baby, a site that has super cute Asian inspired baby shoes, a bunch of you readers went over there and the owner of this website noticed! She contacted me and thanked me and told me she was going to send me a little “something something” to show her appreciation for the link. How about that?!!!
So that is why I’m writing a post all about the cute little tangerine Asian silk shoes and hat that Jami Becker from Inner Chai sent me. It just goes to show you that linking is a good thing. Thank you Jami! (And thank you readers for clicking!) I LOVE the little orange shoes! I especially like how they are round and wide in the toes. My baby is going to be so chic! I’m just going to want to dip her in some soy sauce and pop her in my mouth!
