In the past week, I've become more aware of how much we lean forward in carrying out daily activities - sitting at a table, getting into a car, using the toilet.... The reason behind my awareness? My leaning abilities have become severely limited by Bean's mass. Before, my belly was big, but there was some wiggle room - for Bean, and for me. I could still lean, because there were parts of my belly that could relax and collapse a little. But now, the belly is filled to capacity so there is no leaning to be had. Makes daily living a little awkward.
*A reference to While You Were Sleeping, even though that kind of leaning is different from my kind of leaning (or, rather, not leaning).

Very impressed by the leaning reference, bee tee double-yoo. Is that a favorite movie or do you have a steel trap mind for films?

I keep checking your blog, hoping Bean is ready to make his/her appearance.

George, I guess I just remember parts of movies I find particularly amusing.
