It's exciting to see how much progress is being made. The more we go and look at it the easier it is for me to picture living there and what each room will look like when it's done. Hopefully it will go fast. I am definitely ready to be in a house.
And speaking of things I'm ready for, I'm also just about ready to not be pregnant anymore. I still have about 5 weeks to go and I don't want the baby to come too early. But it will be nice to be able to put my shoes and socks on without getting out of breath, and to be able to pick something up off the floor without inadvertantly making a grunting/sighing sound. But those aren't the reasons I am just about ready for this baby to come. It's the comments that are driving me nuts. Since when is it ok to say whatever you want to a pregnant woman? Some of the comments I've recently gotten are, "You have really ballooned out since the last time I saw you." "Are you going to have a really big baby? You're getting really big, uh, I mean just your belly is getting big." and "Oh, I thought you missed church because you couldn't fit into your maternity clothes so you just decided to stay home last week."
So just to show you how grotesquely huge I am (with 5 weeks to go) I will share a picture with you. After all, a picture paints a thousand words. (Casey took this for me last night so it is very recent.)
Now that you have seen for yourselves and to keep with the theme of this blog entry, you can all feel free to say that I'm as big as a house. But please say it to your computer screen as you look at this picture and get it all out of your system. That way you might not feel the need to comment on my size the next time you see me in real life. Instead we can talk about the lovely weather we've been having or what color the carpet will be in our house, or pretty much anything except the size of my belly.

Well, believe it or not, you are at most average on a scale of the size of pregnant women I've seen. You are fine, and should start carrying a bat with you for when people start saying rude things like that. Even if they are true (which trust me, they aren't!!), when did it become socially acceptable to say that to a (likely) already emotional and (possibly) insecure pregnant woman? I thought that status came with a little respect and reverence. I guess society has failed yet again. Sorry Connie. For what it's worth, I love you and think you're beautiful.
what? you're only 5 weeks away? seriously? you don't look big enough to be that close to delivering! i agree with holly....you look absolutely radiant!
Oh my heck, you look awesome! You are so beautiful, I remember looking like a cow at that point in my pregnancy! I'm so excited for the house for you guys, its lookin great!!
I'd like to chalk up another point on the 'you look great!' side of the board!!
You are all so great. I really didn't write that hoping for or expecting compliments. It was more about how annoyed I was at what people had said and I guess I just needed to get it off my chest. Thanks for your kind words, you have all made my day :) Thanks!
You look amazing...and so does your house!
