I'm almost at the end! Hooray! I'm starting to get very impatient and antsy for this baby to vacate her 9 month residency and join our family. She feels huge! It's almost like I'm carrying a 10 pound bagful of potatoes or rocks in my belly. Her kicks have become quite powerful and strong, and sometimes painful. I feel like she's going to push right out of me sometimes. She responds to almost everything I do, which is both cute and irritating sometimes. If I eat sugar she'll start moving. If I lie my arms across my belly she'll kick me. If I start talking or singing she'll give a few blows to my ribs. The kids have been taking advantage of this, too. Emma felt her for the first time the other day when I told her to lay her face on my belly after I had some sugar. The baby instantly brushed her foot against Emma's cheek and Emma sat up squealing with laughter. Scott likes shaking my belly lightly and then resting his hands where he knows the baby will kick. He rarely gets disappointed.
There have been plenty of fun and exciting moments during this pregnancy, but I'm ready to have it end-- with a healthy, full-term baby, of course. I'm anxious to meet her. And I'm anxious for my body to slowly get back to normal-- if that's even possible.

Becky, I love pregnant bellies!! You look so good! I know it's hard at the end, you will get there!
Oooh! Risque pics!
I think that the time from now until your due-date increases exponentially. But you'll survive it--what choice do you have? ;)
