Zonked: The prego update

Matt, who hasn't posted in 6 freakin' months, has given me the hip-hop moniker "P-Belly." Pass the courvoisier, yo! I am used to being a go-getter. But last week's double dose of beloved houseguests -- plus work and the as-yet-unresolved hail damage to the house and cars -- has sapped every last ounce of energy I've got. So, please forgive me if I go into my bunker for a bit and don't come out this week. I know everybody's got lots of exciting and important things going on in their lives and I really do care, I just don't have any extra leftover for anybody else. Big Sis says I should just tell people, "I'm very busy on a cellular level, you know. For instance, right now I just made a pinky fingerprint! Can you do that?" But it's not the pregnancy. It's that on top of everything else. Back to work. Then hopefully to the couch, quiet and a little internal downtime.
