Was this all I had to do?

This past Sunday, Brett and I went to the local Renaissance festival. My long-ago high school "boyfriend" is an actor and for 10 years now has come all the way up here from Long Island to act in and help run this huge "faire" every summer. So, since we still talk here and there (thank you, facebook), we decided to go and check it out this year...he even left us a free ticket. Lo and behold...I find this bench. I couldn't resist....

So, I sat on it. Of course, it is too late (damn it! I should have gone to the festival last year!!!!). I did think that I'd sit on it anyway so that we might have future siblings too...

Need I point to the belly area where there is no doubt a "loss of waisteline" as they say in all the pregnancy books. I am getting a little pouch, which I've never had before. I'm sure most of it is from bloating, etc...but since my ute is supposed to be the size of a grapefruit this week, maybe a little bit of it is our little girl. But, as you can see from the pic...no mistaking that belly is starting to show (which is odd b/c I've been losing weight).

One last thing...I don't want anyone to be disappointed in a post about a Renaissance festival that has no horses and jousting so I included this shot:

We had fun...did a lot of walking...laughed a lot. It was definitely a good time. The entertainers that they had were hysterical. We aren't really big renaissance festival type people...so we didn't get all dressed up or speak in old english or anything crazy like that...but I had fun just seeing the sites and watching some plays and stuff. One of the funniest things was chatting with my friend Frank while we were there and trying to have a normal conversation while he had to be in character the entire time. Poor guy...I was like, "so what do you guys do during the week up here"...and he would look at me, compose his thoughts and answer using "thou" and "thee" and words like "merry"....then I'd look confused and I almost asked if he wanted us all to duck behind one of the outbuildings so he can talk normal...? Funny.
