Bulbous, lol

In honor of Mother's Day being around the corner...

I wanna show off some preggo pics from the past. I just love belly shots. :)

Here I am 34 weeks preggo with Emerson back in 2004:

Here I am at 35 weeks with Hayden in 2003:

I was huge during my first pregnancy. I had gained 47 pounds and my legs had cankles like Fred Flintstone, lol. I still enjoyed every moment of it though.

Clayton took this by our bedroom window. I think that he did a great job. We had more photos done outside but I cannot seem to find them right now. Hmmmm...

Anyhoo, I just felt the need to reminisce over these special phases of my life. I hope that you all enjoy your Mother's Day weekend as I know I will. I am sure that Clayton is up to something considering that he always makes such a big deal of each holiday/anniversary/birthday. He is the greatest!!

Monstrosity

Since I haven't edited all of my Christmas photos yet, I figured that I would give you guys a taste of just how large I am now. Today I am 38 weeks 6 days along. I thought that baby boy would already be here by now but he is still hanging in. I need to find a way to encourage him out at this point. His parents really want to meet him and I am ready to be able to sleep on my belly again.

BTW-Like my Christmas jammies?

Feeling blah...

No, those aren't stretch marks (they're veins). Ewww, huh?

Well today makes 37 weeks and 3 days preggo for me. Not much further to go! The past few weeks have went really well but today was particularly bad. I felt nauseated and out of breath pretty much all day. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't also our 8th wedding anniversary. We were going to take the kiddos to a sitter and then go out for dinner but that didn't happen. I just didn't feel good enough to go. I hope that this means labor/delivery is just around the corner (my intended parents are waiting in Denver for me to call anytime now). I had a massage last night at Aveda and she hit all the right pressure points to help me along. Maybe that is why I have felt cruddy today? Maybe she really did give me a little jump-start? I have no idea but I do have another massage scheduled for next Sunday and I really hope to not make that appointment. We shall see.

***Sorry the pics look a little wonky. My camera battery was almost dead (which made them blurry) and so I played around with editing software to change the colors and to make the second one soft. They aren't great but hey, at least I posted them. ;)***

Sorry for the delay in posting these

Belly pic taken at 32 1/2 weeks (11/10/07)-See my belly button sticking out?! I have never had that before. Oh well, at least I don't have any stretch marks. ;)

32 1/2 weeks preggo

Can you believe how big I am? I am really beginning to wonder just how big this little guy is going to be. I have pics of me 2 days before giving birth to Emerson and I was about the same size that I am now. Eeek! Also, I have never had my belly button pop out before so you know that this little guys is sure packing on some weight.

I have a couple of pics below from E's 3rd birthday party from last weekend. He had a blast and I am so glad that he enjoyed himself. Hayden was jealous and is now asking all the time when his special day is going to get here, lol.

E loved opening up his gifts

20 weeks, 6 days along...

18 weeks, 3 days

10 Weeks Along with Twinkies + Some Updates

I took my first belly shot in the mirror this past week and thought that I would share. I can't believe how fast the twins are growing! My IPs haven't gotten to see my belly yet so I figured that it was about time. I had some redness on the bottom of my stomach from the top of my pants rubbing against it (the band is flipped down for the pic).

Everything is going well and I feel good. I just wish I could hurry up and quit taking the meds. CCRM is working on that by slowly weaning me. I should be done with everything at the 13 week mark or earlier. Yay!!

My parents have had Hayden since I left High Point. They are finally bringing him home today and we are happy to have him back. Emerson is so thrilled to see him again. He can't wait until they get here. We will go out to lunch and then we have a lot of things to do this afternoon to get us ready for the big move.

The movers will be here on Monday to pack us up and then Tuesday is the loading day. On Wednesday, we will be flying out to Colorado. Unfortunately, we cannot close on our house until the 19th, so we will have to stay in a hotel in Loveland until then. Clayton will begin his first day of work at his new job on the 15th and he is pretty excited about it. His new boss sounds like a really nice guy.
