Wait until next years version. lol 😉
I am so excited to hear about your baby girl’s arrival!
I am sending you happy labor vibes, girlfriend! Hang in there… I know the feeling of being this close!
such a cute post! So happy for you and sending positive thoughts your way!!
Aww how cute! 🙂
so cute…i’m just now at the point where i feel TRULY pregnant…he’s moving all the time (and i can actually feel him even with the anterior placenta!), my belly gets in the way of all my food photos, and i’m always trying to figure out how to make the most of my pregnancy clothes. i can’t wait til your baby girl arrives!
that is awesome! i’m so excited for you, friend 🙂
As a CNM student/doula–no more reclining on your back (like in that photo)!!! If you are going to lie on the couch, your side is your best bet for getting baby to roll forward. Babies love to hang out posterior when you lie on your back.
haha i just did that for the picture- i’ve been leaning forward or laying on my side since friday. and i hate it.
Haha love this! So cute and clever 🙂
not going to lie…im a little bit stalking your facebook page for the news that its TIME! (i swear im not being a creeper, im just so excited for yall!)
Not sure how you still fit into your lulu pants for so long. Mine are too snug around my lower belly even when worn super low. Any day now!
they’re magically super tight now. and i refuse to buy new pants to wear for 10 days, haha, so i’ll be wearing lot shirts and sweaters to cover my bum
I hope for your sake it is only 10 days 🙂 I was 10 days over and it took 2 inductions with my first. Not what you want to hear, right? I hope your baby turns for you!!!!!!
gah! i’m so uncomfortable with the back pain, i really hope it’s sooner
I had a dream last night where I was 6 months pregnant and it felt so real!! I blame you and my breeding machine cousins, lol! 😉 SO excited for you guys and can’t wait to see baby Zumba-holic!
Hey gina! Maybe you or the cnm could offer your opinions on measuring fundal height. I am 32 weeks measuring 30 cm. I see various docs so im interested to see what others have to say on the topic 🙂
i wish i knew more about that, but i honestly have no idea.
congrats to you! almost there 🙂
for a second there i thought you gave birth today and was ready to write a congratulatory comment! any day now!
i wish! but not yet
So precious! Can’t wait to meet the little one 🙂
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Sending you vibes to get thru the contractions and to get that little precious sunny side up girl to turn the other way!
🙂
thank you- i need them!
So cute. 😀 Hahah, I started freaking out as I got to the bottom and thought, “Ohmygosh – is she saying she gave BIRTH already??!!?” Heheh. Sooo excited and happy for you, Gina! Keeping you in my prayers. 🙂
thank you, raewyn!
I keep checking to see if you’ve gone yet. I’m due around the same time – Jan 7th – and am wondering who’s gonna go first!
i’ll be lurking your blog to find out! 🙂 so excited for you
I’m loving this post! I won’t have a cool holiday to make up a song for, but Memorial Day weekend (around my due date) will hopefully find me as content and ready to go as you! I’ll totally be lurking and waiting for the little bebe announcement.
So excited for you Gina! Sending “easy labor” vibes your way! I delivered 10 days early so be ready, which I know you are YIPPEE! Can’t edit for the news…waiting to see the se post up for more than a day, then I will suspect you went into labor:)
Whoops meant can’t “wait” for the news ha ha
Awww, love this! Too creative! When I saw the end, I thought you had the baby!? haha. Good luck!
Any day now! I’ll bet you are anxious to bring that lil girl home to the cozy nest you’ve been busy creating! I hope the back pain subsides!
So excited for you, lovely!
I cannot recommend this article enough. It’s written by a midwife who is in her medical residency. It’s beautifully written, she calls herself a “rational radical”(!) and recants two recent births she assisted in- her DIL’s birth and a birth at the hospital while she was on duty.
**NOT a horror story at all**
do you have the link to the article?
Wow. I just love sick-brain. It may be something like pregnancy-brain, lol! Here’s the link:

I meant to clarify that her DIL’s birth was a home birth.
So excited for you Gina! It could be any day now… 😀
Good luck to you! Capricorns are the best 🙂
