savoring the details

Due date...

39 weeks...

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!

32 weeks...

After a reminder by the sweet, and fabulously talented, Sasha, I finally took an updated mirror belly shot.

As you can see, I am behind on keeping this blog updated on the pregnancy.  When I posted the 21 week photo, I was already at nearly 24 weeks.  This photo (as I noted) is from September 18th.  I'm trying to catch up yet, I want to document this time so that when I print out my blog entries, it is all there (even if the dates don't align). 

I am feeling tons of movement from this little babe and it never ceases to amaze me. I am feeling really good.  I try to go for a walk every morning after I get Sean on the school bus. The exercise and fresh air seem to be really good for me.  I enjoy the peacefulness that a quiet morning brings. I really want to savor this pregnancy and all the wonders that come along with it.  Time is flying by and yet there is so much to get done. I am trying to take deep breaths and know that all will come together in due time.
