You've asked. And asked. And asked again. So I've decided the time is right to unleash my bump upon the blogosphere.

Yes, I am posting my first bump pic.

But first, an explanation as to why I have yet to do so.

It's not that I'm not proud. It's not that I don't understand and appreciate what my bump represents. It's not even because I'm a little embarrassed at how big I've gotten, (well, maybe a tad). But, really, it's not any of these things.

I just haven't gotten around to it.

Plain & simple.

So last week I pulled out my trusty Sony, rummaged around for the cord so I'd be able to download my pics and went to work. I took several pics but the following one was the best representation of my bump so I'm rollin' with it.

Here goes ...


In other news we've decided to get down to business. Hubby and I have started working on a name for our chip. Nothing has stood out for us just yet but we've had fun trying out each option so far. We've cooed and ahhed the names, written the names out in long form to see how they looked, and even yelled the names out loud, just for good measure.

In honor of our name search, I'd be interested in knowing how each of you "auditioned" the name for your bean, peanut, lil one, etc. Let me know in the comments section. Also, if you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to audition them, too!

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
