Third time's the charm

belly

While I could very well blame this extended belly on the number of fried donuts and potato latkes I have consumed over the last five days - indeed there was never a more enthusiastic Hanukkah celebrant - in fact I am pregnant and the baby is due at the end of May. (The belly is not actually as large as it would appear in this dramatized photo, but still - third pregnancy starts showing at about four weeks and a day. Delightful.).

And my many feelings on the subject range from relief and joy to anxiety and terror. So that's been fun. Very relaxing. It may also explain why I haven't been able to do much of anything besides eat chicken apple sausage. But the nausea seems to have ended and I'm not quite as exhausted (as in I'm not falling asleep in the middle of a titillating game of Zingo, although admittedly this has also happened while not pregnant).

I also bought an iphone.

Which reminds me of the scene from Fiddler on the Roof when someone runs in and says "she's here! she's here!" and we're meant to believe that Tseidel had her baby and then it cuts to the scene where Motel the tailor is using a peddle sewing machine and Tseidel has already had the baby which is not nearly as exciting news as the arrival of the new foot-powered sewing machine.

To celebrate this news with you (the baby, not the iphone) I am hosting a sale in the shop through this Friday, December 10th. Since every third child knows the third time's the charm, use the code CHARM3 and get 30% off your order. All orders will go out by December 17 and then the shop closes down for some holiday travel and merry making.

Happy shopping! xo

  8. Based on my experience, the iPhone will suck up more of your time than the baby. And then, once the baby is old enough, he/she will just suck the iPhone. So it will all work out.

    (and I am so, so, super happy for you!)

    (oh, and clearly you've got a severe case of baby brain: 30% off. you so crazy!)

  13. Yaaaaayyyy! Three is the best-the best, I tell you! It works perfectly. Our kids are about the same ages, and I have to say, your timing is perfect-the ages work so well this way. Best wishes on the rest of your pregnancy, and wahoooo!

  15. I love your style of writing.

    It makes me happy. This post also made me laugh. Hardly anyone refers to Fiddler on the Roof these days.

    Thank you so much for stopping by and entering my first giveaway! I was worried nobody would notice!

    Can't wait to see who wins Friday night/Saturday morning.
