It's a balloon, it's the moon....


No, it's my belly! And I have toes below my belly! This is not me, but it's similar to what I see (or don't see) when I look down. I wonder if my toes are connected to my feet? Of course they aren't, I no longer have feet, they're connected to my cankles!

Nap time!


Marlin & Cinnamon love sleeping in the Baby's crib. They are so cute! :) Some people stress out about cat's sleeping with babies because they think that cat's suck the breath out of them (old wive's tale), they really don't. My baby is obviously not in this pix because it has decided that it is not quite time yet. (My due date was yesterday.) My cat's always sleep at my baby's feet, never by their heads. Aside from that, they usually prefer to be in there alone, without the baby, because they are the babies. :)

Who me?


If you're looking for me, I'll be in here. (Cinnamon in the Baby's crib.)

Oh My Swollen Feet!


First off, this is NOT a picture of my foot. Most of you can attest to the fact that my feet are much cuter than this, at least on a regular basis, however, the swollen ankles on this poor lady's feet is what mine happen to look like at the moment. Isn't it lovely?! I guess I have to resign myself to cankles until sometime after delivery.
I had an OB appt today and everything still looks good. So, even though my ankles are MIA, my blood pressure is normal and that's a good sign. Baby was very active in my belly today and I was even having some Braxton-Hicks contractions. Only 11 days to go and baby did a good job waiting it out through Joshua's birthday (yesterday) and Valentine's Day. I really didn't want to go on either two of those days and it looks like we're in the clear. Good job Baby B! Now I just have to hope that Baby decides to show up on a day that my midwife is on call. Keep your fingers crossed for us. :)

Ok, here it is. Probably my last ultrasound before baby decides to make it's big debut! It's from last week. I was 37 weeks, 2 days at the time. The top picture is 3D and the baby's face is tilted to the left (as you are looking at it). You can see it's eyes, Emery nose (though this pix doesn't do it justice), and little mouth.
The bottom picture is a regular ultrasound picture and the baby's head is to the right. It is looking right at you! So far everything is looking good!

We were at Walmart in Hudson tonight and Jason was very excited because he blew his first bubble with bubble gum! Big doings! :) Go Jason!
