I promise, this post will not contain any lectures about blogging or writing! Just a little summary of what’s up with me.

Well, first of all, I’m still pregnant. My due date is about 11 days away, so I’m coming up on the end…but with my record of going past my due date, I don’t expect any action on that front for a while. I’m still documenting my pregnancy over at WEtv.com–lately I’ve written about whether or not I should microblog my birth, the baby stuff moms really need, and birth anxiety (it’s not just for newbies!)

The Octomom fallout has kept me busy–I’ve done interviews with several newspapers and other media outlets over the past couple weeks, and you can read two of the articles here and here. I was also on last Saturday’s episode of The John & Ken Show on KFI AM 640 in LA. Updated: here’s an MP3 of my interview..

My article “8 Ways Your Baby Says I Love You” is in this month’s issue of Parenting and also available online. There are some strange typos in the online version that I hope are being fixed now.

Mostly, I’m just trying to keep myself as busy and distracted as possible so I don’t hyper-focus on the fact that this baby is going to be here…soon. Because when I start thinking too much about that, I find myself wondering EXACTLY WHEN that’s going to happen, which is just a recipe for that ‘watched pot’ syndrome I know all too well, having subjected myself to it over the last three pregnancies. This time I’m working hard on keeping my life plugging along as normal, so that when BabyGirl does finally decide to make her entrance, it’ll be sort of a pleasant surprise. I’ll do my best to keep you posted.
