Little Baby Lump

Fellow Boston University COM alum and Twitter pal, Yianni Garcia (AKA Social Media Guy) is running a fun little contest on his blog, and I’m honored to be a part of it! That’s right, apparently I’m a “Hot [Mom] on Facebook.”  Haha – gotta love it.

Check out Yianni’s blog post about it, and vote by submitting a comment at the bottom of the page.  The winner will be chosen based on most comment votes as of September 30.  I encourage you to vote honestly – there are quite a few pretty hot mamas in the running, so I won’t blame you if you don’t pick me (just remember who sent you there and how scrumdidlyumptious her brownies are) ;o).

I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET!

Believe me, you have no idea how excited I am about this.   I’m like a kid in a candy store again – my Firefox browser has about 12,000 tabs open; I’m uploading photos like crazy to Facebook, Flickr and Baby-Gaga; I’m tweeting my cries of rejoice like crazy on Twitter; and most importantly, I’m blogging again!  It’s an all-out social media-fest over here.

I apologize for leading you to believe I’d have the InterWeb on Monday.  I swear, that was the original plan until Comcast screwed up.  I’ve definitely been going through Little Baby Lump blogging withdrawal, and it seems like some of you have been, too.  Case in point, my friend Tina wrote on my Facebook wall the other day imploring me to “find an Internet cafe or SOMETHING.”

Well, I’m connected again and I’m back and blogging up a storm.  I’ve added a new tab to the upper right-hand side of my blog labeled “Our Place” – check out James and my new apartment and what will be Baby Lump’s first home.  If you read the last post I wrote via Blackberry (which was not easy), you know that Baby Lump is already feeling at home.  The first night we spent in the new apartment was also the first time James felt the baby kick, and he/she has been a lot more active, dancing around noticeably, in the past week.

In the growth department, Baby Lump should be about 11 inches long and almost one pound at this point, or for all you food analogy-lovers, about as long as a package of Oreos and as heavy as a bag of tortilla chips.  Mmm – Oreos and chips.  I was also able to sign up for my natural childbirth classes at Isis Maternity in Brookline on November 9 and 16th, so now it’s a reality – I’m going through the whole birth thing sans medication.  And that’s my final answer.

Just thought I’d keep you posted: James and I have been moving into our new apartment (we love it!) the past few days, and Comcast won’t be able to install cable and Internet until Monday. This means that, sadly, I’ll be unable to make any real blogging updates until then (thank goodness for my Blackberry though!). If I can’t make it to an Internet cafe in the meantime, you’ll hear from me come Monday.

For a fun, quick, little (big) update, James was able to feel the baby kick a little bit last night! Baby Lump must truly feel at home in our new apartment!

Don’t worry, there are plenty of quirky food-baby analogies to come!
