Too Tired to Shoot

I always wanted to be that person who took (and posted) super cute baby bump.  Like this.  Or this.  Or this.

And this is not an understatement of the word always.  I really thought that I would be able to get over my lifelong dislike of being photographed so that I could do something really fun--or at least scientifically documentary.

But there is a reason you haven't seen any photos of me yet.  Actually...several.  I didn't take into account the fact that baby Otter would steal all of my energy.  Or that, to be honest, I really just feel like this most days:

pregnant or fat?

Those who know me think it's obvious that I'm pregnant.  My clients, and other strangers, on the other hand, are consistently surprised to hear that I am four months in.

I've always been small.  So now, I suppose, I finally look like an average Philadelphian.

On the bright side, with no photographic evidence of baby Otter, I can never end up here.  



And in a post script, I shall endeavor to answer the questions that everyone asks:
  1. Gender will remain a mystery for two more weeks (and possibly longer).  
  2. No cravings.  However, dried seaweed, potato chips and popsicles have been very helpful in calming my stomach in its more riotous moments.
  3. The nausea has mostly dissipated, but it sneaks back up on me still.  
  4. For those not in my geographical region, yes I am showing.  Or "popping," if you want a direct quote from my manager this morning.
