Just Call Me "Gus Gus"...

Does this look familiar? Minus the gnome-like hat, fur and mouse ears...it's what I see when I look in the mirror.


Jody has a new name for me - Gus Gus! (You know, the mouse from Cinderella) I roll out of bed in the morning and my shirt has rolled up - exposing my baby bump.

"Good morning Gus Gus," Jody says.

"Good morning Jody," I say...and then I think; "When did this nightshirt shrink? Why are shirts that used to act as tents now hanging on for dear life - trying to cover my tummy??"

And then I feel the most surreal feeling ever - my little one moving inside of me. A little person growing in my tummy, and I get to feel her move. The thought is, at times, overwhelming and so beautiful.


I kind-of like my new nick-name! :)

I feel so awful for you that you are so huge! You better start buying small shirts instead of Xsmall. Poor thing:)
