Just an FYI...
While I am doing some catch up I am post dating the posts to the date they occurred...so there may be a few that are farther back than you think, that you might have missed. I have to do it this way so I keep the events in order. Thanks!

8 months 3 weeks

Ok, so I know I haven't updated in a while. My excuse...well, I don't have one. Here are some belly pictures that we shot today. We had fun taking them. We had to use the tripod and timer to get Bryan in there too, but it was fun.

We are getting so close. She is due in a week. My CNM said to plan on being a bit late, which is ok considering my due date was so wishy washy at the beginning. I am grateful that it has only been recently that I have been uncomfortable and have started to swell a little. I feel very blessed for that!!! I am just trying to get all the things done I have been wanting to do. I made some burp cloths (I will post pics of those later) and am starting on her crib set and curtains for her room. Don't worry...I really don't know how to sew very well so I have made calls to my Mom about the pattern and am feeling very intimidated by my decision...but non-the-less I will complete it to the best of my ability. (If I don't post about the end result, that means it probably didn't turn out so well.) The hardest part, I think, it cutting it all out. I am dragging my feet on that. Once it is cut, sewing it together is the fun part (as long as I can follow the directions. If all else fails, I will fake it till it looks decent or wait for my Mom to come. I can always ask Bry's mom & sister too. They are fluent in the sewing department.
)
Just waiting...

so, do you seriously not have any stretch marks...or are those just good camera angles/touched up? and you are lucky you didn't swell up until recently. I have had swollen feet and hands (and face for that matter) for weeks and now my hands are starting to go numb...aaah.
anyhow, you are beautiful and I am glad that you posted these new pics and the posts about your showers! Good luck. I am sure we will hear soon.

I am so excited for you guys! It is going to be great. No matter how much sleep you get or if you don't get your makeup on in the morning it is all worth it. They are wonderful.

Oh I am so sad to miss your shower! I am glad it(they)went well. If only I can be as lucky as you and have a beautiful round belly and no stretch marks, and swelling, and yuckiness, etc. You are my inspiration! Let us know when Kallie arrives! We love you!

Wow! You are so close! You look beautiful and I am jealous if you didn't get any stretch marks...lucky you! Hope all goes great with the delivery and that you don't go over too much. Waiting at this stage is the hardest part. Good luck with everything!

Love, Stacy Larson
