Doesn't look too humongous here, does it?
Until you part those curtains. Yikes! You'd think I have a 6 (ish) pound baby in there or something. And as for William, well, how can you not love that face? That is pretty much the look that I get from a handful of people every time I go out in public.
My favorite picture from the mirror photo shoot. Completely impromptu involvement from the kiddos. This is going to be one well loved little bambino.A few of my millions of thoughts at 36 weeks:
- How can I feel so done when I still have 4 weeks left? Wait. Four weeks? Hold on, baby. My to-do list isn't quite finished. Just cook for a bit longer, would ya?
- We made it! With all my pre-term contractions I am so relieved to finally be at the point where they aren't considered pre-term anymore. Time to start doing everything I had to avoid before. Anybody up for a 10-mile hike tomorrow? ;)
- I am down to about three outfits that fit me comfortably. My favorite piece of apparel? Maternity leggings from a favorite friend. I would wear those everyday if I could. Oh wait, I pretty much do.
- I hate the unknown. You know that. Not knowing the baby's gender doesn't really bother me though, probably because it was totally my choice not to find out.
- Not knowing when this baby is going to be born? A bit frustrating, particularly on the more uncomfortable days. Yesterday was one of those days, today (mercifully) wasn't.
- Baby weighed in at 5 pounds 9 ounces last week. This week the Squirt's stats jumped to 6 pounds 7 ounces. Beginning to question the accuracy of the measurements ...
- I am at a 2 and 80%. I try to tell myself that that doesn't mean anything, but myself doesn't seem to want to believe me.

Oh I just can't wait to see what that baby is going to look like, and be named. SOOOOO exciting (I'm grinning really big right now). Hang in there-the best is yet to come :)
Hike? Done. Let's go. I want to see this baby too. Not as much as you and Brandon, of course, but lots. My brothers have four-wheelers if you're interested in hiking that way. Just think, next year, you'll know the birthday months ahead of time and it will have come too soon. Nope. That doesn't help, does it? Forget I said it. BBQ?
Yeah, don't trust those measurements! They told me Aiva was going to be about 7 1/2. She was 9! But they were right on with Emma, so who knows??? I can't wait to see this little baby!!!
You look so cute, by the way! :) Drive home safe!
Um, you look AMAZING! I am so excited that you made it to 36 weeks. Yay!!! And of course that means I am ALMOST there. Can't wait to meet your new little bundle. So much fun!!!
Beautiful Bethany! You look marvelous darling! Loving the pics and your adorable family as always! It's been too long...I miss you.
You are too cute! I love all your belly pictures!
I am trying to decide what is worse: The first trimester, or the last! I think I'm going to go with the first trimester, since I love labor and delivery.. :D
So excited for you! Those last four weeks were a killer for me, too! I was at a 4 with 6 minute contractions for a solid 2 weeks and you know what, somehow, you forget all of that as soon as they are in your arms :)
