I bought a nightgown. Because my belly’s getting too big to wear pants when I don’t have to. Pants hurt right now. ‘Specially at the end of a hot summer day…. And, I was at the mall buying humongous bras and I saw nighties there and I thought to myself “wouldn’t it be great to have a nightgown to wear around the house all HOT summer long? But I don’t want anything too nightgowny. No, it has to be something I could answer the door in and maybe even walk down the street in. I mean, aren’t dresses that look like lingerie SO, like, IN right now? Aren’t all the celebs wearing them?”

I asked Josh, and he said he didn’t think I could really wear this out of the house — I’m thinking he just doesn’t want any men ogling and drooling over his HOTT-MAMA wifey…. What do you think?

WHOA!!! Doesn’t it just SCREAM hott-mama wifey? Ummm…, not-so-much. I know. But, I could probably answer the door in this…, no? (Oh, by the way, it goes just down to my knees….) And, YES, I am wearing a bra. One of the humongous bras I bought with the nightie. Maybe I should be wearing two bras…. And, yes, my face is a big PUFF — especially with this DANG cold — I am aware, yes. And, yes, my belly button has POPPED…. And, no, I’m not lactating out of my left breast in this pic. It’s just water. I was cooking…. YOU try cooking with that big belly and MASSIVE boobage without getting ANYTHING on yourself. Impossible.

Here’s what I was cooking in my sexy-hott nightie….

Penne with turkey-and-vegetable sauce! And, I made enough for THE WEEK! Awesome.

I also made this Israeli salad — cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers and avocado with oil and vinegar dressing. A big hit, and EASY (i.e., no salad spinner required! Yess!).

The monkey had her own “picky-eater” version of the dinner….

I put Canola oil and Parmesan cheese on the penne, and left the turkey plain — told her it was “hamburger” — and drizzled ketchup on it. Much to my and Josh’s AMAZEMENT, she GOBBLED up the pasta and turkey: “Mmmm! Noolels! Hambagah!” …So THIS is what Heaven feels like! LOVE it when that little monkey eats!

Speaking of that little monkey…. EVERYONE tells me how GORJ her hair is….

I always say “thank you!” to them. But, can’t I just say “I KNOOOOWWWW” already? Because, really, it’s not MY hair; it’s HER hair. But, everyone says you’re supposed to say “thank you” when someone compliments your kid. I just find it awkward. This one time?, someone told me how awesome her hair was, and I said, “yeah, but you should see it in the morning…outta control, I tell you!” I’m such a geek.

Oh, by the way? I’m still sick. It’s BRUTAL. I can hardly breathe. And, honestly? I’m, like, crying about it. Just, please don’t tell me what I MIGHT have. People do that in comments. It’s JUST a cold. When preggers, it takes FOREVER to get rid of a cold — everyone tells me this. And, everyone knows everything, so there you have it.

It’s the monkey’s first day of camp tomorrow! I go with her ‘cuz it’s a mommy-toddler camp. Exciting stuff. Wish me luck getting her into the splash pool! And, don’t worry, I don’t have to get in with her — mind you, it would save them a lot of water if I went in ‘cuz the second I’d plop my big self in there, even the littlest amount of water would overflow out the sides. Later Loves….
