Anyway, with her in mind, I had Brian snap a shot. I decided I would have loved to see my mom 9 months pregnant with me. But, please oh please don't blow it up. It's large enough! Actually it's our little girl that's large! At my appt. last week, the doctor said I had been measuring larger than I should have my last couple visits and wanted me to have an ultrasound done to measure baby versus fluid and stuff. So, we took a picture hoping I could get an 'outside' shot of baby and an 'inside' shot as well. The technician wasn't really up for a photo op and just did her measuring. She said our baby looked about 8 1/2 lbs at birth (or so I THOUGHT.)
Come to find out at my appointment this week, our chubba-lubba was 8lbs 7oz as of the day of the ultrasound!! They say these estimates can go a pound either way, which means, normal size, or a 9 1/2 pound monster! They told me they don't usually recommend inducing a first time mom, but they also are not a fan of delivering a 12 pound baby. For the record, I'm not either and I'd like to at least use SOME of the newborn clothes I have. It all became very real to me as they said they'll schedule an induction date at my next appt. for later next week. NEXT WEEK!!?! As in, 7 days from now I could be a mother. whoa. Granted, I could go into labor tomorrow, so I guess I should stop panicking.
Anyway, here I am in all my glory--this is my, "Brian, hurry up and take the picture so I can get this over with" face.

aaahhhh! I can hardly wait! Really, I've never anticipated the arrival of a niece quite the same... I think it's 'cause you're my sista! Ah... again, only that was a sweet sigh of an ah...the first one was a terrifying scream at the thought you might be delivering a 9 1/2 pounder!
I will seriously miss your adorable belly and thinking about the new addition to our family. Your picture is AWESOME!!! So glad you were brave and documented it!
I think you look very cute! I can't hardly wait to see pictures of your baby girl;)
