Right now, I'd say being in between clothes.  I have bought some maternity pants, but since I'm not telling the world until Easter, I'm having a hard time finding shirts flowy enough to cover my pooch and most maternity shirts look obvious to me.  For the most part I've been feeling good. 3.

Are you reading anything good right now? I've started reading the Janet Evanovich series.  Just finished "One for the money" (the new movie with Katherine Heigl).  I think the series has like 18 books or so, so I have a long way to go, but thought the first one was good. 5. What is your favorite TV show? Favorite long time show = Grey's Anatomy.  Favorite new show = Being Human (on SyFy). 6. Tell us a random interesting fact about yourself. My birthday is the day after my mom's.  Poor thing went into labor on her birthday.  We missed sharing a birthday by 3 hrs.  When we told DH's parents about the baby MIL told us that she was due with DH Oct 10 (we're due Oct 9) and he was born Oct 16.  DH is very excited about the possibility of this LO having a birthday so close to his.
