Where are my toes?





Okay, so I've never, ever, ever taken a picture of my bare tummy when I've been pregnant. I thought I would take this last time to document how big my tummy gets. I am exactly 38 weeks today. Yes, it was a daring thing to do. Baring my stretchmarks and all. But I also think that the pregnant body is a beautiful thing (my husband would agree with me). Not only is it beautiful, but amazing. We can create LIFE!!! What a wonderful gift. It doesn't come without it's challanges, of course. But the result is a beautiful, sweet baby. Unblemished, and changed by the world.

I had so much fun having the kids put their hands on my belly too. Jaren just about fell over when he walked around the corner. " I am not putting my hand on that!!! It's huge." True, it's huge, but it carries something very precious. And I'm only going to look like this for 1 more week!!!! WOW!!!!

I love these pictures! Thanks for having the courage to post them :) Hopefully I'll be coming home in a few weeks so I can see the new little one! I'm so excited! See you soon!
