Somehow I seem to have snuck into the third trimester. Baby is mellow most of the time, with a few well-placed kicks every day to remind me she’s there. My skin has returned to first trimester condition, which was itself a throw-back to adolescence. Lovely.

Hopefully bump photo tomorrow…email/phone/photo issues almost resolved.

I apologize for these drive-by posts. Today should be the last half-assed one. Trying to get the script synopses out by tonight).

Also — did I mention third trimester??? Holy Schnikees!
