My friend Helen is about ready to have her baby - I think Sunday is her due date.  I got this note from her and a picture to go along with it:

We took this photo after dinner this weekend (trying to get some dinners in before baby comes… I’m wondering if this will be our last date free of the worry of children/ babysitters, etc).  Anyway, thought you’d get a kick out of how superhumanly/ grotesquely big my belly has become.  I’m off now to join the circus.

It’s funny that she thinks she’s huge or circus-freak like because I think she looks great - one of those very annoying pregnant women who only look pregnant from the front or side. She’s managed to avoid the unfortunate ass-widening that I experienced.  Someone tried to tell me that they were just “child bearing hips”.  Yeah, whatever.  You go, Helen,  You look fabulous and you’re going to have a great baby, even if Dave insists on naming him or her “Dante Bertelli”.
