So…I haven’t posted in a long while. I’m 25 and bit weeks pregnant and have only in the last few weeks gotten over a period of super sensitivity to computers and television. It made it very difficult to work on projects, I can tell you. This was apart from a rotten bout of morning sickness (WHY is it called ‘morning’ sickness – it was seriously 24hr nausea) and crippling fatigue.

2nd trimester has been much better – just completed a 4 week stint back at Animal’s working on a TVC. It was encouraging to realise I can remember how to composite! Revving up the brain again was very satisfying. Some really difficult keys but thanks to KatSzu during Harry Potter 5 and her ass-kicking keying standards – I was prepared to fight for really good results. I have to say I really like working in Nuke now and find it hard to go back to Shake.

Having an on board mini-human is truly a bizarre experience. Feeling the baby move about is oft described as a wondrous experience – and it is – but it is weird and a little alien like. She is her own person already, coasting about from side to side and using my bladder as a waterbed. It’s all terribly…biological. There’s so many bits of you that have to stretch and shift to accommodate. You get filled to capacity each day…more baby, more blood, more water.

Enough biology for now…bbs.
