And you thought it was just the deficit that was getting bigger...

… and if that’s the case, you’re missing the growing bellies in blogland. Over at Bag & Baggage, there’s Denise’s pre-pre-pre-pre-law training. And Markos (he of the immensely popular Daily Kos political site) is documenting the joys of the third trimester (or, as I like to refer to it, as the “can’t we just move on to the part where we don’t sleep for a year?!” period).

As both Denise and Kos’s wife Elisa get closer to the Big Day, my only advice is this: get out and see movies now. Go to a restaurant. Savor these last quiet moments. Believe it or not, you’ll look back on these days and wonder what exactly you did with all your “free time” before it was all consumed by the thing of beauty that is your child.

Good luck, and stay healthy!

Update: Will Cox tells me that Larry Staton and his wife are expecting in the next week or so. Perhaps that explains Larry’s quiet blog of late? :)
