9 months behind...4 weeks to go

Many of you are aware that a woman is pregnant for 10 months (well, actually normally about 9 1/2 months), but as counting within the 40 weeks, it is actually a month beyond the commonly thought 9 months.  I reached that milestone today.  I am full term and 9 months pregnant, but no; I am not anticipating a baby any time too soon.  Let's just see if this baby will be on time at least (rather than the 14 days late with D and 4 days late with E)...

Ever wonder why I am always in work-out clothes for my weekly pictures?  I have been doing a good job keeping up with that.  Even this week after having made it to my goal of 36 weeks, I decided for the sanity of our household to get out and "work out."  The intensity has slowed a bit but still keeping at it.  Perhaps that is why I have not gained as much weight this time around either.  I was at about 21.5 pounds until overnight, I just gained 2 1/2 more pounds (the modus operandi this pregnancy).  Still fine with only 4 more weeks to go.  Suddenly, overnight though, my stomach also seems to have grown immensely!!!  I cannot even think about sucking in now (a thing I could do only 2 weeks ago).  My largest non-maternity clothes are all but gone and even a few maternity are a bit tight.  The aches and pains I had two weeks ago are mostly subsided, though I am a bit more uncomfortable sleeping now.

'Lil Bits had better not come this next week since Michael (with D) will be gone all week on a fun (boohoo) family vacation.  Let the excitement begin! :)  Mom comes the 28th...
