Very Close

very close

I am at week 38 and it seems like she could come at any moment, although I am not technically due until week 40.

My belly looks comical/embarrassing in this photo Jin took of me! It looks like my belly is cantilevered out of my body! But everyone tells me it is still a pretty small bump at full term (it feels big to me!)! A lot of my clothes do not fit anymore and I have given up on pants long ago (I only wear tights now).

Lately I have been quite busy spending a lot of time with friends, getting her room ready and completing simple sewing projects for her. It feels great! Sometimes I have to remember to take it slow and schedule in some quiet days for myself to catch my breath and mentally prepare for what is to come.

I'll keep you posted.

Congratulations to Juli & John and the arrival of their beautiful little girl!!! Juli and I have watched eachother progress through our pregnancies closely and it is so exciting to see them at the next stage! From our correspondence, Juli sounds totally in love! I am so happy for them!

  1. You look great! The rest of you doesn't look very pregnant but the belly sure sticks out far. I feel like I'm carrying my pregnancy all over and my belly isn't sticking out very far yet (24 weeks).
    I'm so excited for you to meet your little one, I bet you are bursting at the seams too! Best of luck for the delivery.

  11. You look amazing Celine! I can't believe how much the little one has grown recently! So excited for you guys, and I can't wait to meet up once things settle down (oy, today we may be venturing around the corner for Easter dinner with family but I'm nervous).

  12. So exciting for you!

    If it makes you feel any better (I hope it does) I went 2 weeks past my due date with my son. He eventually came on his own and I know my story isn't common but I remember those last weeks being very difficult. If I can encourage you that even when it's hard and emotional or feels like it may never happen, it will! They will come and it will all be worth it.

    Congrats to you and that precious baby.
