36.5 Weeks!

I know, it's been a while since I've posted belly shots. I'm just lazy. I didn't feel like setting up the tripod to take the pictures. How sad is that? Sheesh. So today I had Rob help me. He said he needed a wide angle lens to get my belly shots. Hah. Very funny.

So we're opting for a c-section this time around. I had a fourth degree tear with Emily and she wasn't even that big. Less than seven pounds. Tiny head. So if the Avery is any bigger...ick...I can't think about that. All I know is, there'd be more of a chance of tearing and permanent damage and I just can't go that route. *shudder*

Mark this date on your calendars: November 13th! That is the day we're scheduled for the c-section. I'm so happy and relieved. We go in at 5am and Avery should arrive around 6:45am. I can't wait to see her!

Nearly 29 Weeks!

I swear, I'm getting some stretch mark-ish looking lines around my belly button. The pic doesn't show them. But it looks as though my belly button is turning inside-out! And notice the button on the pants has been undone!
There's my belly! I'm starting to show now!!!

Da Belly

I know, it's several days late, but better late than never, right?

And here's a better profile of the bump.
Oh goodness, my hips are hurting!!! I've been walking at least three times a week and maybe I overdid it Saturday. I don't know, but YOWCH! I feel very old. How many more weeks to go...? *sniff* Pity me. Or something.

22 Weeks

I guess I should post a pic of my belly. It's not that great of a shot, because I just KNOW I'm bigger than this. Unless my mirrors are lying. They're lying, aren't they? Stoopid mirrors. When I look in the mirror and see my buttockal area, I see an increase in acreage. And I see lots of growth in the belly area, too. Especially when I look down.

I'm going to wear these jeans in my series of belly shots for this pregnancy, just to see if I can. It should be interesting.

Alright, there it is - my belly. It doesn't look like much, but really, I don't fit in most of my clothes. At this point, I'm in between maternity clothes and my regular clothes. It stinks. It makes me crabby.

Rob felt the baby move today! So special!

Emily is talking up a storm! It's like the vocabulary button got turned on and it won't turn off! She's telling me right now to "Turn this off!" I think she wants me to get off the computer now. But before I do, I just have one funny story. She woke up a couple mornings ago telling me, "Kicka schockabaw!" I said, "You want to kick a soccerball?" "Yeah!" I guess she was dreaming about soccer! And then yesterday she was asking for "canny cone". I asked, "Candy corn?" "Yeah!" Then she marched around the coffee table chanting, "Canny cone! Canny cone!" The only place she has learned about candy corn is in a book that I haven't read to her in a while. So who knows where she gets this stuff! It must be in her blood! So of course, I had Rob make a stop at the store for some canny cone on his way home from work. Yummy!
