A Bad Wrap

Nobody told us we would need to buy new bath towels...they absolutely will not wrap around my 33 week pregnant body.  Awesome.  

32 Weeks

I decided to surprise Corey and have some pregnancy photos taken.  But the photographer I found didn't just take belly shots of a happy mama, she really thought out of the box! 5 hours in the garden and studio and the outcome had Cor amazed.  We have already booked her to shoot the baby only days after she is born and we are so excited!  32 weeks when these pix were taken.  I had a pretty bad cold and a post-mexico stomach issue - fun. But the baby was fine, moving around plenty and keeping me up all night!  Corey and I have a new spin on the beastie boys track,                                                       "NO • SLEEP • TILL DUE DATE!"

Ultrasound #5

9•2•08 - 30 weeks 3 days.  After 10 long weeks we finally got to see our sweet little baby again!  We had a glimpse of her in 4D, but her little hands and feet were blocking her face most of the time...so we really only go to see her tiny nose and, what appear to be, big lips.  She was sleeping at first, so I chugged an apple juice to see if we could get her squirming. She was right on target in weight and length for her age. Dr. is happy with me and with the baby and of all things that they look for in the black and white abyss of an ultrasound.  When this image was taken she was Frank Breech with plenty of time to turn.  Actually, I went in for another ultrasound at 31.5 weeks and she had already scooted into a transverse position where her head was basically southwest and her butt northeast.  Seems like she is moving in the right direction and hopefully she'll be in delivery position sooner rather than later.  We are getting so close!  As for mama, I am feeling great (despite the aches, sleeplessness and ruthless return of the over-active bladder), loving the summer, still exercising a ton and nesting. This is a wild ride and the anticipation of what's next is incredible! 

Belly Body Shot

31 weeks in Cabo San Lucas. The little one's final flight in utero. Let's just say that it was a very different way to experience Mexico. Sans tequila, what?! Didn't even know that was possible! Corey still managed to indulge in some Pacificos and even figured out a way to do a belly body shot! Glad I could be of use :-)

30 Weeks

When did 30 weeks happen?!  10 more left, give or take a couple. Wow.  It truly is the final stretch now and we are still having so much fun with it all.  Corbet just finished painting the nursery and his nesting bug has completely set in.  I just love being pregnant during the summer. I would shoot for this season all over again, if I could determine the timeframe of the next go. Though the heat and humidity do nothing good for the swelling, it feels so good to be tan and scantily clad :-)  Flowing shirts, bikinis, cotton dresses.... ...flattering, comfy, whimsical and feminine.  Pants and I have an iffy relationship without a baby in tow and I fear the day where drawstrings have to replaced by anything with a waistband!  But nothing beats floating in water, afternoon bbq's, local weekend retreats, june weddings and dining al fresco.  LOVE being pregnant during the summer!
