Because I know y'all would be sad not miss this one, here's the very last "official" pregnancy picture we took at (what I'm pretty sure is) 41 weeks & 1 day.

Cheers!

Tonight I just needed to relax. Half my mind is totally cool with where I stand as far as still being pregnant. The other half of me is coming apart. But that's not the rational side of me. So to calm it down (and help me sleep), we popped the cork on a yummy bottle of Red Muscadine wine from the Ocoee Winery. I only had half a glass, but it was just what I needed!

And in case you are concerned, here's a couple articles to make you feel better:

Boldly going where we've never gone before.....again.

Status: 40 weeks, 6 days

I wanted to post this earlier today, but I didn't get home from my fabulous Moms' Night Out until 2 AM, and then I had to get up at 7:30 to get Eli ready for preschool. And then I couldn't get a chance to sit down at a computer......yada, yada, etc., etc.....

For those of you who followed my 2nd pregnancy, you will recall that we hit this record during that journey, and now we've broken it again:

I am officially the most pregnant I have ever been!

Eli was born at 37 weeks & 5 days. Talia was born at 40 weeks & 5 days. Bucky? Well, Bucky is enjoying the ride and is trying to set a record for himself. I'm happy to oblige! 

37-40 weeks of pregnancy is the toughest part for me, but once I wake up in that 40th week, the world seems simple again and I am happy to wait it out!
