Nearly winter

This is my cup of peppermint tea: 

and this is top of my pretty Christmas tree: 
and then this:
(say it!)
a baby growing inside me. 
 (A girl. An already sweet as taffy kicking girl.)
Yes, it's true: I'm six months pregnant, and I feel as big and as happy
as a Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon.
(I float down city streets; I laugh; I sup on sugary cereals.)

Happy almost winter, everyone!

Hi Rocking Ellie Grace, er, Amanda! I'm SO excited! It just suddenly struck me that in the "virtual world" I am NOT pregnant, and I started realizing that I'd be back in Oklahoma for Christmas, and it was high time to say something!

Now, you need to help me name her! Ellie Grace is pretty cute!

I'm not sure the double name thing works in New York like it does in the south....but thanks! Can I see you when you are here??? Pretty please!

Anything goes in New York! We'll see. And yes, yes, yes, I'd love to see you when I'm in town. Let's plan something. I think I'll be there the 22nd & 23rd and then probably back in the first couple of days of January. Is your life madness around then?

We are in town the entire break, but I leave town on the 5th.
