32 down and 8 to go!

I've definitely grown since my 27th week photo and even if I didn't have the pictures to prove it, I have my little ones who are always reminding me just how big I am getting. There's no mistaken', I look positively pregnant and not just like I''ve gained weight and gotten thicker around the waist.

32 weeks



During the first several months, I said to Joseph over and over. I would much rather be 6-9 months pregnant than 8-20 weeks pregnant. Now that I'm in my eighth month I would say, there are advantages and disadvantages to all stages of pregnancy. That's the truth about things!

The kids are getting excited and funny about things. We've finally started talking to Aaron about it, not knowing how much he will really "get." When I ask him now where the baby is he points to his tummy and says, "Baby in my tummy!" Close Aaron, very close! The other day we were talking about doing something as a family after the baby is born and Brynn said, "But mom, I'm not sure that you'll be able to do it, you'll have to milk the baby." As if I didn't feel like a momma cow already, that just seemed to seal the deal! All in stride! All in stride!

We are settling more now on names. Sometimes it takes a sort of compromise for us. You never know how strong willed you are until it comes to naming a child.

This little guy (at least we think it's a he) is quite the little mover. Sleeping is becoming a bit more tricky, but I'm trying to relish all of these feelings.

..No Jenni, I swell too. There are parts of me that feel like they have been injected with puffiness :) I told my mom the other day, I think the fourth baby must get you past the point of no return.

My sister is getting married about 6 weeks after the baby is born. Everyone always decides to get married when I am very pregnant or have just delivered a baby. This is the 6th wedding between our families where that has been the case. Oh well, it's not like they can plan it around the pregnant people, but it does make me feel like I'm always pregnant. What are the chances?

Cutie. You do finally look pregnant, though it mostly looks like you're stashing a volleyball under your shirt. :)

You look great! You always have the cutest little pregnant belly. I dread posting pictures of my belly this pregnancy because I don't think there will be anything cute or little about it!

You look amazing!! Serioulsy, you just have this cute little belly. I am sure not much has changed since those pictures except that your tummy has gotten a tiny bit larger. We can't wait to see your new little one. Have a newborn really is such a special time since a real piece of heaven comes home to stay.
