I’m so bored with being pregnant that I put a temporary tattoo on my belly just to freak out the doctor tomorrow at my check-up.

(Note bruise on belly, a side effect of forgetting how huge I am.)

   So, what’s that picture on the tatoo? I can see that the bump is huge, but the tattoo isn’t so big. It looks to me like a sparrow wearing a Darth Vader mask. I suppose if you do give birth soon it’ll give the midwives something unusual to look at and it might be interesting to see what it looks like when the bump is all deflated (though somehow I doubt you’d want to post a photo of that on the blog. Deflated bump looks very, very weird).

   It is a skull with a flaming 8-ball as a head. Very tasteful.

   LOL, nice work! I thought it was Yosemite Sam — but why would you have him?! Glad it’s not. Reminds me — my mum went in for some stomach surgery once and before she got wheeled down to the theatre she stuck a Post-It on her stomach under the gown saying: “a quick nip and tuck while you’re at it, please.”

   LOL, at the quick nip and tuck, Jess.

   Lovely tattoo, Julie. I remember feeling odd when I would turn sideways to get through a tight spot and then remember that I was BIGGER when I did that. Oops.

   Wicked!

   I got stuck in an aisle at Wal*Mart once by accidentally turning sideways while hugely pg. It wasn’t pretty.

   I remember bumping into the person in front of me while standing in a bank live–not realizing I was standing so close! LOL Hopefully you’ll be holding your little one soon & complaining about your jelly-belly.

   Yes, but can you keep a straight face? I’d be giggling so hard the doctor would be relived it was the tatoo!

    What a hoot Julie! Love your sense of humor even though you’re… what- 4 days over. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Hopefully it will be Fecklet!

    LOL, Julie.

    And wasn’t it Ruby Wax who drew lines over her body saying ‘drugs here’ and ‘more drugs here’?

    Motorcycle, eh? Now will it be a Ducati or a Harley?

    For Julie’s baby? Has to be a Harley.

    For me it’d be a Ducati… *g*

    Hang on in there, Julie! I know it sounds impossible, but try and enjoy the calm before the storm.

    ((Julie)) Soon, soon, you will be holding your baby in your arms.

    I thought it Yosemite Sam. I assume the tatoo is somehow connected to Being A Bad Girl…

    Aw, I bet it’ll look really weird when it’s all deflated! Let hope by the weekend you’ll be cuddling your babe and boredom will be a thing of the past!

    That’s such a great idea! LOL! I thought it was Yosemite sam too. Would dearly love to see midwife’s face when she spots that. How’s the hit count?

    [...] I wonder if I should do this… then again, my consultant probably wouldn’t even notice as he’s never even looked at the bump! [...]

    Cool tat, Julie. Hold out for a Christmas Day baby. It’s something to do to while away the hours between dinner and Dr Who (yay! David again!). The downside is he’ll grow up thinking he’s God, but most men do anyway.
