well, i'm not sure if the world is ready...or honestly if the world even could prepare for what's to come...but ready or not, a miniature version of myself will be showing up around June 10th.  i think most would agree that one mindy is already too much...but another lil mindy...rather frightening.  so, yes, that is correct...i'm knocked up and we're busting out a chick this time. 

 

so, June 10th means that she's just over 1/2 way cooked at this point.  therefore, i'm just starting to fully enjoy clothing that makes me look like i'm wearing a tarp or that frequently adjusts by itself as i walk or sit or stand up...awesome.  thankfully, i didn't pack on the pounds in the first half...as i'm only 5 pounds up now...but, i went through this drill last time...the girth will arrive in the later months.  for some reason i'm more bothered by the concept of weight gain this time, even though i got rid of it all last time.  anyway, beyond my own issues...all is going well and so far there haven't been any issues or big complaints.

 

in other news...i hate pink and i hate purple, which works out well when birth'n a chick bc everything is pink...so lame.  even though pink is the prominent baby chick color, i have successfully managed to find some excellent non-pink lil girl attire...my most prized find would include the black hot-pants w/ a ruffle ass...damn straight.

 

next step is the name game.  oh the glory of the 10,000 name option books and the lists jon & i will get to create...then ridicule the other for even listing 'that name'...then fight...then finally (hopefully) agree.  my theory...if we can avoid any name that is more porn than mindy (i.e. bambi, candi, whore, etc.) we'll be in good shape.

 

oh, and one final note...Aiden is handling the concept of the lil one rather well.  he is constantly shoving food in my mouth and then lifting up my shirt and yelling "HERE IT COMES BAY-BAY SIS-STAH!"  he also considers my belly button as the peep hole and therefore runs up to it and shoves his trains into it for the baby's viewing pleasure..."THIS IS THOMAS BAY-BAY SIS-STAH!"  i fully expect that the day she's born he'll start shoving cheerios down her throat and smacking her in the face with his trains.  oh the good times yet to come...

 

 

this whole writer's strike thing isn't having a huge impact on me due to the fact that i'm a reality tv junkie...but, what i have missed is The Daily Show.  finally last week it appeared again!  unfortunately, many of the news team folk are MIA...except John Oliver bc he's here on a visa which doesn't allow him to strike...or at least that was his story the other night and true or not, it works for me!  anyway, back in Oct. Jon & i went to see him live at Comedy Connection in Boston.  i can honestly say that i have never laughed so hard in my entire life.  this guy is by-far the funniest person evah!  for me to literally leave a place with my face hurting bc i just laughed for over an hour straight is impressive.  anyway, nothing i say about him will do him justice, so i highly recommend if you're ever able to see him live - get tickets!  in the meantime, watch him on The Daily Show - where he's hysterical, even though he's only able to showcase about 10% of his actual humor.
