I just may, when I have more time. It gets me all riled up though, which makes the wee squirmer go all, uh, squirmy. Since it has perfected the Bladder Dance, I'd rather it chill.

Though perhaps someone can put mother in law's mind at ease: She spends an inordinate amount of time discussing with others, in my presence, why I'm so unpleasantly freakish and not sporting a giant belly, and why I haven't gained the 'requisite' 25 kilos. There are many possible reasons for this in her mind, most of them relating to the fact that I'm a freak and there's something wrong with me, or that the baby's a freak with something wrong with it, or because I'm deliberately starving the baby, or because I don't eat enough yoghurt.

Can anyone offer her a conclusive answer? Then she can get back to wondering what type of air it is (cold air, moving air, changeable air, etc...) that causes people to get ill.

That's just because I don't eat enough yoghurt.
