Very nearly 10 months

When I was interning in Michigan one of the social workers was very pregnant. I remember one day she came into my supervisors office complaining about how everyone says that pregnancy lasts 9 months because it's 40 weeks and she was 10 months pregnant gosh darn it. And I remember thinking "The first 3 weeks don't even count because you're not even actually pregnant yet." But, not being an idiot, I said something more like "That must be so frustrating!"

Now I understand her point.

We are quickly approaching the official due date and are trying very hard to wait patiently. I'm trying to remember how it broke my heart bringing Luca in for bili draws for a couple days in a row and reminding myself that the longer she cooks the less likely she is to be jaundiced and need bili draws. So it's a good thing. My ribs and back are arguing the other way though.

There is no shortage of maternity photograph inspirations on pinterest. One of them I fell in love with and couldn't wait until my belly was big enough to recreate it. And then I wanted to hurry and take it during what I thought would be a small window between when my belly was big and when she was born. Turns out it was a bigger window than I was expecting.

I think it's a super cute picture though! Kisses for everyone.

And, pretty soon (when I take the time to take pictures) I'll put up pictures of her room! Stay tuned =)
