23 Weeks - KoЯn (on the cob)


Baby JuDrew is channeling the likes of Michael Jordan and the (normal) human sex chromosome count coming in at 23 weeks. She is the size of an ear of corn and will be joined soon by a few boat load of corn friends when we visit the midwest. Did I mention that I LOVE corn? I love corn. I ate 1/2 bag of popcorn for 2nd dinner last night and cannot wait to get my hands on some fresh buttery ears in a few weeks. 

My mother, who passed down her love of corn to me, will often have an all corn dinner. Steamed corn, boiled corn, kettle corn... I have, on numerous occasions, told Andy "It's ok I'll just have corn for dinner." He thinks it's ridiculous but hey, it's what I call "the Geraghty dinner". Don't knock tradition! Unless it involves camping... I fucking hate camping.  



The books say that over the next month baby will double her current weight and start gaining fat so she's not transparent any more. Ick, guess I didn't realise she was see though. Show some modesty kid! 

Speaking of modesty, here's me with all my baby junk hanging out. I added the frame to up the "classy factor" and distract from the deep grotto in the middle of my abdomen. 


I also forgot to thank Grandpa and Grandma Affo for the super duper cute Country Road baby hoodie! Thank you! Love it! In my my favourite red too! 

I would also like to thank Jimmy for refraining from getting a repulsive Patriots onesie and seeing the light. Go Pack! I kept the NFL tag on it. It's what all the cool kids are doing.
