And while I'm on the subject ...

There's no way I'm going to be able to hide this for three or four more weeks.

It's hard to tell, of course, since my stomach is about the same colour as the wall. But that's a belly that's hard to miss, let me tell you. I am certain that someone will guess before the trimester is up.

I'm also certain that by the end of this -- should I be so lucky -- I'll be unrecognizably huge.
