Interesting Belly Angles!

Here are two shots I took on October 20th, just one day before the start of week 37 (weeks 37-42 are considered "full term" even though normal gestation is 40-41 weeks). I thought you might like to see the frontal view and my perspective on my new, 43-inch waistline. Enjoy!

Baby Kyla is Here!

Our friends Jason and Corinne (see our bellies below) had their baby on Oct. 9, 2007. Here's Kyla Jade with Jen, Jordan, and "Jomo" (inside the big belly) on Oct. 15th.

"Babymoon" Hike!

This was on a 4-5 mile hike in Carmel Valley, where Jordan and I took our "Babymoon" (like a pre-baby honeymoon). It was Oct. 14, day one of month 9, and I felt like quite the badass to climb this hill. (So, naturally, I made Jordan take a photo to commemorate it.) Yeah, it's not too easy hiking uphill with that much weight out front (and much less lung space to boot)!

Baby Room Update

Though the progress is slow, I managed to find some time last weekend (between grading sets of papers) to get the baby's crib together and hang the quilt on the wall. So, now you can all see the African animal/ "Swazi" room theme first-hand.
Enjoy!!

Bearing Bellies Bared!!!

Here's my friend Corinne and I on October 2, 2007. She was due on September 30th (so she's 40 weeks and 2 days here) and I'm due exactly 6 weeks later (so I'm 34 weeks and 2 days here).

Our 5th Anniversary!

This photo was taken on September 27, 2007, our 5-year anniversary, just before we went out to celebrate. I was 33 weeks and 4 days (or about 8 1/2 months) pregnant.
