Haha…blame it on my pregnancy hormones acting up.  In any case, doing tags like these in my 38th week of pregnancy do take my mind off the kicks and punches the babe inside is giving me everywhere I go.   Helps divert my attention from the increasing pressure on my back and hips.  Makes me forget that I have to pee every few minutes….well, somewhat…
