Bump....it's called a bump, guys *face palms*

Bump, bump!

(No, really, "bump"? Where's the logic in that?)

Two days to go!
(Bump, bump- though that does sound pregnant somehow)

I don't go "bump" - at least not yet. When exactly do pregnant women start to "bump"?

I think it's called a baby bump.
Does that mean you are expecting, Schmiezi?

Oh, I've "leo-ed" baby bump. Sounds ... fitting. Baby tummy is too cute for what is slowly building up in front of me.

Yes, I'm due in May next year.

Wow, congratulations!

I agree, by the way- baby tummy sounds like the tummy of an infant.

Like something small and cute, not like something that will stop you from seeing your own feet one day.

Thank you!

Thank you!

My dog had the cutest belly when he was a puppy- all round and hairless.

You're welcome, it must be so exciting!
Are you going to call the baby 'Sherlock'?

I would prefer John-Sherlock, tbh. Schmiezi, come on, and all the members here will be godmothers and -fathers.

Not sure if I should join. I am just new in this forum and not a native English speaker.
Any concerns?

Hi!
A lot of us aren't native English speakers either (including me), that shouldn't keep you from participating. If you've got the time and would be willing to write something within the scheduled two weeks, feel free to join in. The more, the merrier!

ok, I'm in :-)

Not a native English speaker either so you wouldn't be alone.

You'd need to send me your details in a PM if you'd like to partake.

Submissions close tomorrow. I'll do the Secret Santa draw and send the participants their respective tasks on Thursday so that everyone can begin to write on Friday.

Bumpy-bump.

**Posted by Kerkerian** November 10, 2013 10:13 am

Submissions for the challenge are closing today. Last chance to sign up, people!

'Tis the season to be jolly!
