Pictures

Here are some random pictures from this past week. As you can see in several of them, I'm laboring. Yes, yes, you heard me right. It was labor, just not the type that produces a baby... yet. I saw my Dr. today and everything looks good and ready, we're just waiting for those truly strong and consistent contractions to come.
As uncomfortable as some of these evenings have been, I'm extremely thankful to be feeling great these days! I've had energy like before I got pregnant, able to be out and about with the kids, feeling so positive and ready to meet our little girl.
As unattractive as the first picture looks, I did get a kick out of how white my belly looks, compared to the rest of me. :)

Rachel went and got her ball when she saw me on mine :)
(she told me that her baby was getting ready to come out too)

Kisses for her baby. She's very attentive to my tummy and
often asks "is everything okay wif your tummy, Mommy?"

One night when my contractions were consistent and pretty hard, Jason turned Beauty and the Beast on for the kids (a new favorite) to keep them busy while he was helping me. It did the trick!
