More Goggles.

Also i may have inadvertently submitted that picture of Molly with the goggles to icanhascheezburger.com. Actually, i most certainly submitted it by accident.

Week 15: Molly tries to escape new pics

Week 15: Molly tries to fool me by sucking in

Week 15: Gets Busted for Trying to Suck In

Week 15: Actual Pic!

Welcome to Earth!

Ben and Carrie Markowitz had their baby girl on friday! Hannah Catherine Markowitz, born on 3/19 at 1.54pm. Congratulations!

Always a good time to use one of my favorite Vonnegut quotations:

"'Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- :
'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' "

More sabotage

The main rule for pictures is that Molly needs to have at least showered. And so Molly is exploiting this rule to continue her subversiveness. That is, not showering until late in the afternoon/early evening when my motivation to take pictures is at its lowest point.

Week 13: Baby Center

Baby center update for 13 weeks. This is the last official week of the first trimester. We've passed a critical milestone in terms of baby health, from here on out the risk of miscarriage decreases significantly.

Week 13: Ambush pics

Week 13 pictures. These were ambush pictures so Molly didnt have a chance to prepare. You can see a slight shift out in the stomach area of the side view pic. You can also see the bottom of the white 'belly band' sticking out. The band is an elastic piece of material worn under shirts to help clothes fit and to let pregnant woman can walk around with their pants unbuttoned.

Galileoscope

I just ordered the first accessory for the babies room.

Subversive Molly

A note about the pictures. I suspect that molly is secretly trying to undermine my picture project through subversive means like 'sucking in' or with various clothing mechanisms. Im not overly concerned because in a couple of weeks there wont be any amount of sucking in that will work.

Week 12 Baby Center update!

Week 12 update from baby center.com

Week 12: Pictures

Week 12 picture update! Tough to see any big changes in the pics, you can take my word for it. Over the next couple of weeks we should see more interesting differences.

Feeling Fat

Molly here making a guest appearance on the blog! I got roped into it. I was just reading Chris's latest post and he said, "you should write about feeling fat."

It's true. I do feel fat. All my clothes still fit and it really just looks like I gained a few pounds, but I feel like I've gained 20. That feeling is probably exacerbated by the fact that I eat all the time.

Besides that, I'm actually feeling much more energetic and I'm not nauseous any more.

So that is the update. Chris and I took advantage of being childless this morning by sleeping in until 10:30!
