the video only features a few different people, and they aren't exactly a cross-section of the US population, but i couldn't help but be disturbed anyway.

31 weeks

it's been a while since i've blogged, and now, well into my third trimester, the end is in sight. i will miss being pregnant, i know that already, but there are certainly aspects of this trimester that make my days all about pregnancy, and i am ready to move beyond that.

certainly, the baby's constant kicking is still one of the most magical things i've ever experienced. yet my very swollen fingers, my constant backache and my perpetual shortness of breath are things to which i will bid a gleeful goodbye once this baby is here...
