having a baby

somewhere in my side, low, like appendex, is a weird clenching. stress. maybe. or those random days where i think i'm pregnant, even though i'm definitely not. it's the gemini in me, maybe, that creates inner drama where there's none.

still, there's a catch in my breath that i feel above my right breast. is my lung there? or is that just where i'm keeping the "when am i having a baby?" question... and therefore, the stress.

elizabeth gilbert, eat, pray, love writes: "Having a baby is like getting a tatoo on your forehead - you better be 100% sure."

do i really want a tatoo?
on my forehead?

my friend cindy just had a baby, heather is pregnant, brandi is pregnant, megan is pregnant, and you never know when my sister-in-law darla is gonna pop another out.
i could just babysit.

i'm definitely not having a baby.
yet.

Guess what, I too, am pregnant. I think it's gonna be an elephant. Not sure, but the trunk is already starting to show. ha ha... anyway me and my 10 year old boy Patrick was just in Corbin visiting Harland's old cafe/museum. He got a kick out of it. I flirted with the cute cashier. She attends/or will attend Somerset Community College. Anyway we saw you on "Deal" tonight (10/05/07) and it was love at first sight for me. Patrick wasn't impressed, but give'm a couple of years! Did you get to rub Howie's lil' bald head? Anyway, I have some pictures on my website www.mumnut.com . or search for mumnut on Flickr.

Congrats on your win tonight, and much success with your acting and writing.
