Being on vacation this week has been lovely. Baby Girl’s newfound love of sitting directly on a nerve on my right side in an extremely painful manner is not so lovely. Let’s put it this way: I found myself lying down on the floor of the Ann Taylor dressing room in a futile attempt at getting her to shift over to my left side. The perspective was interesting (the footwear choices of others are not something I necessarily look at in so much detail), but it’s not something I ever wish to do again. There was also the squatting down in the aisle of The Granary and the time I spent in the Baby Gap dressing room sitting on a bench covered in Liam’s fall clothes while my mom brought me options for Baby Girl. I can’t believe I still have 6 weeks to go. On with the pictures.
Week 34 in my pregnancy with Liam (Slippers…ahh…how I miss slippers.):
Week 34 in this pregnancy with Baby Girl (My belly is definitely bigger this time around and as I mentioned earlier, I’m feeling it. Big time. Also–the shirt that I wear in all these pictures is very close to not meeting the waistband of the pants I wear in all these pictures. Apparently y’all are about to get some midriff shots (which is what I know you’ve been aching to see…). Other than that, the pictures speak for themselves.):
Bonus 34 Week shots (from this pregnancy):
Here’s what happens when Baby Girl sits on my last nerve and I run for the bed desperately seeking some relief (pillows thrown asunder, bedclothes everywhere, massive amounts of kvetching, etc.):
Does this dress make my bump look big?
6 more weeks? Really? Seriously?






6 more weeks? Surely not!
From your mouth to Baby Girl’s ears!
“BABY GIRL, COME ON DOWN!”

I’ve been trying to explain to Baby Girl that is OK to come a tad earlier than her brother. I am more than willing to write you a permission slip in this regard.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ll hold out until the afternoon of September 7th. Past that date and I make no promises or guarantees about the lengths to which I will go to GET HER OUT OF ME.
