So Beeg!

At the pool with my seesters and kids on Labor Day.
That other baby is Pip's twin cousin, born the same week, different year.

I am so beeg! For me, I mean. I'm one of the lucky ones though--my full-term belly is smaller than most. I'm enjoying the last bit of pregnancy in the following ways. I LOVE WEARING BLACK! I wash my black clothing items every few days so I can wear them as often as possible! I LOVE MY ROCK-HARD ABS!! I know, I know, it's not really my abs, it's actually my uterus in constant surge (seriously, I get Braxton Hicks for like three hours straight), but I love the tight belly and know that as soon as Squirt emerges, it will just feel like deflated dough. I LOVE ENJOYING MY TWO SWEET BABIES!!! They are so adorable and fun, I just can't get enough of them! I LOVE THAT I WAS STILL RUNNING UNTIL JUST RECENTLY! I ran till 38 weeks this time and decided to call it quits when I felt the urge to pee with every step. I'm still getting out with the Baby Jogger, but we do a walking hill workout instead of a run now. I LOVE SQUIRT'S LITTLE MOVEMENTS, HICCUPS, AND KICKS! It's one of my favorite things about late pregnancy, and I always miss feeling my fetus inside me when it comes out. I LOVE BEING ABLE TO NAP WHEN MY KIDS NAP! I've got Squeak and Pip's afternoon naps coordinated (it took me about a year to do this), and I've been taking advantage of their naptime to get a little rest myself. And by the way, they're sleeping now, so I should be too...

you look great! sounds like you are definitely enjoying this part of your pregnancy. that is great. I am always ready to be done...however, i am like you in that i do miss feeling the baby inside of me. i always have moments where i think i felt a kick or hiccup and then i am like oh what i already had my baby. it is weird.

You look amazing. I can't wait to hear more about the little one when its arrival day hits. I am thrilled that you are in Utah. We need to get together!

That's great! Sounds like you are doing very well :)

When I saw the title of your post I thought maybe this newcomer had arrived "So Beeg!" You do look great though ;)

It is really amazing to feel the little ones inside & a bit sad when they are no longer wiggling away in there, but so fun to have them in your arms & finally meet them!

I think that the ovaries have a bit more of an edge in the poll.

I say that based on external genitalia

Soo cute and don't even talk to me about beeg, girlfriend! :) You've seen me in action. I swear I spent 14 mo trying to get mine napping at the same time too and when we achieved it - Bliss! Enjoy now and enjoy what's to come. How fun to be able to share it with family.
