Basement and Belly

Here are some pictures from the basement. Chris has the fireplace in and all the insulation up. He even has a few pieces of rock up in one of the rooms. We rented a sheet rock hoist tomorrow and Chris plans on hanging rock all weekend.



We took some pictures of my belly last night. It is crazy how big I've become. The only shirts I can wear now are Chris'. My maternity tops (even the size large) show my belly. I never thought that I would be able to fit into, or should I say fill out, Chris' shirts. I cannot wait to wear normal clothes again and sleep on my belly. Just the thought of laying on my stomach makes me smile.

I am enormous!!!
Today I have been super TIRED. I slept well last night, which has been a rare event this pregnancy, and went back to bed after breakfast until almost noon. Normally I would feel bad about all that sleep but not today. I think my body is naturally preparing for labor and infant feedings. I know I won't be getting much sleep the next, oh, 18 years.

Jamie, you look BEAUTIFUL! For the last few weeks of my pregnancy I wore this ONE sun dress. I was hot all of the time (late May), so it helped me stay cool, plus it didn't show my belly. I had the same problem as you with the maternity tops being too short.
I bet your son will be an 8 pounder (plus an ounce or two)- 21 inches at least! A good, healthy boy! Love ya, Jame- Don't forget to breathe!

Looks like you're doing a great job, Chris!

You do look great! I love the belly shots!!!! I remember having the same problem and I've seen women walking around with parts of their belly showing. Doesn't work so well in the winter though, huh?

Good to see that Chris is getting so much done. Maybe this baby is just waiting for the basement to be finished.

Oh, and I'm making no more predictions. I think predicting insures that you won't have a baby on that date, so none from me.

Still wishing a fast easy labor for you.

Thank you very much ladies. Every woman 9 months pregnant needs to hear that she looks beautiful, cause lord knows she doesn't feel like it!! It's more like fat, tired, and huge!!

You look awesome! It is so weird, because when I saw these pictures I thought, "She doesn't look that big at all. Certainly not enormous." But, I remember looking much the same way and FEELING giant! I'm glad you got that good sleep. I can't believe you keep dilating...I bet your labor will be relatively fast! You have a fully developed HUMAN in your belly. Isn't that awesome?
