We went to Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion show at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. It’s a blast. Especially when you watch from on stage. The guests this year were Steele sisters and Chris Thiele and Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek. Chris’s mandolin-playing was especially amazing. He played this song and had me feeling utterly talentless. The show was great. Hurrah!
Me & my shadow enjoyed a full day on the beach too. Watermelon, sandwiches, crackers and cheese, orange Izzes, cherries… Steve made sure we were fully stocked for a long day and the weather was just right. The kids are sun-soaked and water-logged and their cheeks are pink with the slightest sunburn. It’s been a good summer to us so far.
this post would have thoroughly confused me as a child, as i was wholly convinced that pregnant women just walked around with pillows under their shirts.
I am the most jealous a human can be. I love Garrison Keillor!! I can't even start my day if I don't hear the Writers Almanac.
What deal with devil did you make to get on stage tickets?? Just cause, you know, if it was reasonable (ie life of servitude, first born, your soul) I'd like to make it too.
You are absolutely the best pregnant person in the entire world. You know the post when you wrote about your modeling and it didnt quite work the way you wanted to… well you shouldve modeled for a pregnant magazine!!! (yes i love your blog and have read it all!!)
@mellyb, deal with the devil indeed! no, in reality, the kids are related to garrison. it's the cross we have to bear (three times now!).
@stacie, you are the best commenter! bring it on!
@jenni, yes that and that the babies came out the belly button.
ohhh nickel creek is so amazing! that sounds like a sweet way to spend the 4th. your belly….also amazing. seriously.
I mean, seriously there is no better looking pregnant woman OUT THERE. You look great!! I love this song by Chris Thiele called "On Ice" have you ever heard of that one?
You are too cute for words! LOVE that you are rocking the suit 🙂
You look soooo incrediably awesome in that bikini!!
You look fantastic on a swimsuit. Yes I know I skipped the whole other thing but I just had to mention it. xx
Glad your 4th was fun filled! And I will have to add that your are totally rocking that bikini! 🙂
You look great! Glad to see you rocking the bikini!
I LOVE Chris Thiele and Sara Watson. His mandolin playing is almost supernatural, I am sure of it.
I didn't think pregnant people could look that good in a bikini! You give me hope for someday!
I'd love to see them! Live music on the 4th of July is such a treat.
Oh man that looks like a blast!
Yay for fun shows! Belated Happy 4th of July 🙂
And you are *totally* rocking that bikini. I do NOT have your figure. (Just quietly, am dreading the Aussie summer and being a million months preggers…)
I love the shadow shot, hehe. Looks like a great weekend!
Tanglewood! I used to live 20 minutes from there 😀 LOVED going there! So happy to see you there too!

i think i might go out in nothing but a bikini from here on out… birthing in a bikini too. done. you guys are the best.
@julie, james taylor! ohhh i wanted to see him this year too but we weren't swingin' driving out there two days in a row.
I LOVE the bikini shot!
mmm that beach day sounds marvelous. especially if the husband really did stock you guys all up. you and your shadow are adorable. i love seeing pregnant women in bathing suits 🙂
I've seen Chris play twice..once in Alabama solo and once in Boston with The Punch Brothers. Both times were amazing!
Look at you, embracing the bikini shots now.
I grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion! And I LOVE Nickel Creek. Saw them live a few years ago. So talented!!
Love the bikini bump! You are rockin' it girl. xoxo
Okay, you need to do a post on how to stay thin while being super pregnant!! I gained 45 pounds. *sigh*
love the beach shadow. 🙂
Love your prego shadow. Adorable!!
Cute bikini bump!
He's coming soon!! Wonder what his name will be? Hint. Hint.
Watermelon, sandwiches, crackers and cheese, yum! Add the beach AND being pregnant = sounds perfect to me!
I love Sara Watkins!!!
only a few pregnant can pull of the bikini and you are definitely one of them.
Such a cute bikini! I'm going to guess that from the back you don't even look pregnant – you're all belly!
How are you THAT pregnant and still look THAT amazing in a bikini. Dang you, girl! 🙂
amy day to day
1. you are SLAMMIN in that bikini. wear it as often as possible.
2. wish i had been there to meet garrison. so does my mother.
When I get pregnant, can I just cut & paste my face on your beautiful belly-icious body? 😉
I've always been majorly impressed by mandolin players, too. Plus, anything on a mandolin just sounds lovely.
And way to rock that bikni, sister. You look mah-velous!
oh mah lawd. i cannot handle how beautiful you and that babe are!!!!
AH. You're THE cutest pregnant lady (: And I'm not just saying that. You rock that swimsuit, girl!
