Big day  
Yeah, yeah. Long time, no post. What can I say? My creative energies have been diverted elsewhere, and he will be born via c-section later this morning. You didn't miss much. My LJ posts would mostly have been complaining about such things as shopping for maternity formalwear, walking like a sumo wrestler, and the dietary horrors of being a vegetarian with gestational diabetes.

OK, there was my belly portrait sitting.

Actually, aside from the GD, this pregnancy has been pretty easy. No morning sickness to speak of. Lots of fatigue & insomnia, but those were easily treated with naps. [info]eeknight has been excellent at pampering me and getting the condo ready for baby. I'm looking forward to introducing him to our son (the boy's been kicking my organs for months, so I feel we already have an intimate connection).

Trying not to think about the surgery and recovery too much, but I'm pretty sure this will be me returning chez EEK-Chats on Saturday:

I loved your belly photo shoot and I love that LOLcat too! Take it easy and you'll be zooming around in no time. The c-sections these days are really easy to heal from - my mom had a side-to-side scar that was unbelievable; now they have tiny ones down in the pubic hair, you never even see them! And the incisions are so much smaller too. All three of you will be excellent at this getting-born thing, wait and see.
SK and I are thinking of you and giving you psychic "thumbs-up!" from New York.

p.s. let me point out, if you are not nerdy enough to identify it, that this photo of Aeryn Sun from Farscape is her gun-fighting her way out of a siege just after having given birth (she's carrying the baby, I believe.) If you don't have to do that, you're way ahead of the pack. :-)
