Here’s the deal with the new writing gig. I’ve been hired to write a new 9-week-long blog about my pregnancy, and life in general, for Discovery Health Canada and Urbanmoms. Discovery Health Canada is going to AIR ON TV an advertisement for my blog. The advertisement will feature pictures of me HALF NAKED! Hee…. Well, I’m wearing pants and a white cloth around my ginormous breasts — so, don’t get too excited. It’s ALL about the preggo belly, baby.

Originally, they told me to wear a white t-shirt for the shoot. I was hoping for black. You know…intellectual looking and all. But, they wanted the white to POP from the black background. At least the photos are black and white, though — very slimming. Anyway, I went out THAT MORNING and bought the most flattering white shirt I could find. Did I even end up wearing this white shirt? Obviously, no. Just the white cloth…. Will I ever wear this white shirt? NO. Because I’m WHITER THAN IT.

So, yeah, I spent the morning shopping for that perf white tee. AND, practicing my modeling. Because, AS IF I’m a contestant on America’s Next Top Model, I needed to find my best MODEL FACE; plus, they warned me that they wanted the photos to represent a range of emotions…. I also needed to find the right angles for this belly — to shave as much flab from the photo as possible. So, I spent a lot of time doing this in the mirror….


And, modeling the tummy….


(Of all days to have a bad hair day….)

And,…since you’ve been here with me since the beginning….YOU GET THE FIRST LOOK AT THE TUMMY EXPOSED! I have to practice having my tummy exposed — since it’ll be ON TV!!! Sigh…here goes…:

I know. This is SUCH a DOVE moment…. I’m barely even FIVE MONTHS ALONG, and LOOK AT ME! I’ll show you LOTS of the professional shots when I get them, as well as pics of my photo shoot — with the fabulous Toronto photographer Beverley Daniels.

Don’t talk to me about the boobs, by the way…. Let’s just say, I totally know how the very preggers Salma Hayek’s feeling right now….

There’s NO GOOD BRA for boobs like this. Trust me. I tried them ALL Saturday morning….

Mother’s Day today was FABULOUS, by the way. Josh-O treated me to a BEAUTIFUL brunch at the totally GORJ and HIP Kultura. At first, I felt the restaurant staff were a little wary of the monkey…. But, as the meal went on, they fell IN LOVE with her — but, she did fit RIGHT in with her stylish new jacket and nike sandals….

I’ll get a better picture of the coat and sandals later….

Josh-O (on behalf of little Miss Monkey) also got me a certificate for a MASSAGE…IN MY OWN HOME. I’m making the appointment tomorrow! And, a pillow — one of those tempurpedic pillows that molds to fit your head perfectly. I’m still working it in. But, it’s pretty coo. In the evening, we went for dinner at my parents. It was really great celebrating mother’s day with my sis (a new mother), me and my mom. It felt amazing. Sniffle…verklempt.
