The baby's bones are getting stronger and he is rein-acting the matrix inside me all day. If I don't get up by 6am he starts doing summersaults until I jump in the shower and get ready to take him around town. We're in chiang mai now and I'm doing a Thai massage course for the next month. Apart from massage technique we'll be learning about pressure points and energy lines which might be quite helpful for holistic babycare. So every morning I get on my bike and ...

Oh my god! I woke up this morning, took a shower and looked into the neon lit mirror in my bathroom and noticed two enormous blue veins across my boobs! They are scary looking, like on weightlifters arms - thank god they are covered by my bikini... A couple of days ago I went on a tour around the island with Evan from new jersey who has no idea either how old I am or how pregnant. We went to a beautiful waterfall in the middle of kho phangan and swam in the cool...
