Big Belly Big Baby

{our little boy}

I'm officially 35 weeks pregnant, but after an ultrasound showed that our little boy is almost 7 lbs already, my doctor thinks I'm more like 37 weeks along (man, do I sure look like it!). Oh my!

{Big Mama}

I don't know why this has thrown me for a loop, but I've been frantically running around the house trying to get things ready for the baby and packing my hospital bag (is this what they call "nesting"??). The thought that I could go into labor any day now has me wishing I hadn't procrastinated.

Cute belly! You're all belly, and one of THOSE people who will look like they were never pregnant within 10 minutes of delivery!

You are all baby, baby! I have not had the pure blessing of having a baby..BUT, I have 8 gorgeous neices and nephews.. and believe you are in total nesting mode! God Bless!... what a joy!

You look adoreable! Soon you'll be staring at that little precious tiny scrumptous baby and you won't believe that you made something so perfect... oh! I loved that part of it! My husband and I literally kept looking at eachother saying "Look what we did...how did we make something so perfect?" I thrilled for you!

Eeeeeep! I can't believe how close you are! You look adorable of course.

I was almost 8lbs when I was born and they joked that half of that was my huge noggin. My poor mom, LOL.

Thank you SO much, Everyone. I feel like a moose right now, so your sweet comments really put a smile on my face.

I'm so unbelievably excited I can't take it!

Awww, you look fantastic! My sister had a c section with an almost 10 lb baby boy and she's 5'4" and usually about 125 lbs! That baby was huge! :)

You look absolutely fabulous! Seriously, just darling!

I'm so excited for you!! You look beautiful & it's going to be amazing!!

Be ready for the long-haul when you go into labor & you might be pleasantly surprised when it's easier & quicker than you thought! (I was ready for a crazy long 30 hour labor -- I had my hair in a ponytail & was so geared up--- bc that's how my family usually has them & mine was only 7 hours or so & was actually really easy...) Just think of it like a sporting event or marathon & you'll get through it & surprisingly enjoy it!!

good luck!!

ps- sorry for the long preachy comment but it really helped me!!

You look ADORABLE! We just had our second daughter, Libby, on 12/28 and so I'm enamored with hearing about soon to deliver preggo gals now. :o) I found your blog through a few others and it's my first time visiting - delightful and so lovely! I'm also planning a tree mural on the wall of my oldest daughter's bedroom (she's 2.5) in kind of a family tree style them (hanging frames with her and family members on the "branches").

Praying that you enjoy a gret rest of your pregnancy. There's nothing like a baby! :o)
