Since this may be the last of my self-portrait maternity shots, I figured I would share a few.
My due date is January 9th, so I am exactly seven days away. Now, I have been 6 days late with both of my previous pregnancies, so we will have to see what happens this time around.
All is ready here...the decorations have been taken down and the house is back to some semblance of order.
All the baby clothes are washed and put away.
My bag is pretty much packed except for those few last minute items that will be added.
Grandma is already staying with us and is a HUGE help.
The boys are beyond excited to meet our new baby!
i was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how you and the babe were doing. :)

You look beautiful! I didn't realize until now that you went past 40 weeks with your first two pregnancies. I have such empathy for those of us who go past our due dates. Good luck!

I just checked in for the first time in a while and was blown away by your December journaling. Just gorgeous. Same plan for a daily baby journal/scrapbook? Just kidding. : )
