I was that huge at about 30 weeks. You look fantastic for about-to-be-giving-birth.

I totally remember that look as well. But I think I was that huge way before 40 weeks. I wanted my son out long before he decided he was ready to arrive. I think you look awesome for practically in labor.

Love the composition with the light switches.

That is a gorgeous photo. Lovely composition and light as well as very adequately capturing the if-this-baby-doesn't-come-soon-I-will-remove-it-with-a-kitchen-utensil look. I know that feeling well. People were wisely a bit afraid of me for the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy. I was ready to kick in the shins the next person who told me that first babies are always late.

Ha! Little-bellied woman! Unfortunately for me, my body not only embraced the fetus but swelled to dynamic proportions around it. And then the child had the nerve to weigh 8.5 pounds and he was 3 weeks early. I must be built for breeding or something. Gross! Anyway...you look grrreat!

Ha! This could be an illustration to match my journal entry from the morning of the day my water broke:
I must look huge. Or maybe just tired. I say this because all of a sudden everywhere I go people stare at my belly and about a third of them say "Oh, wow. When are you due?"
I'm pretty sure I hear pity in their voices.

As we often say in Australia.... "Love yer Guts"

"Portrait of a woman who gets up twenty times a night to go pee"

Oh man. I think I'm having flashbacks, now. Hee.

POPPIN' FRESH!

*pokes you in the belly and waits for the giggle*

Ok, that was just wrong. Sorry. :)

That lightswitch is huge! Oh, wait. ;)

You tiny thing! Here I am at 34 weeks and every time my husband walks by he says "wow, your belly is huge" and I reply with "that's because I ate our baby". Not only can I not see my feet, I can no longer see our cats when they rub up against my legs.
All I do is eat, sleep, and pee.
Ahhh...the miracle of life!

So impressive. Whenever I take self portaits of myself, they end up being all blurry with the weird lighting and the fat I hide in regular photos all hanging out. As for the photo itself, you can see that you're ready for Leta to get born, but man do you look awesome for 40 weeks.

I have that look and that belly now and I am only 32 Weeks pregnant :( Lets just say I have cursed you many times before since you seem to have carried beautifully and this being my first....I resemble a beached whale!!!!!

And to think, at that moment the rest of your family was still wondering whether you were really going to name your daughter Fawnzelle La Bon Marché Armstrong.

You can tell by the look on your face how ready you were for Leta to be born, but Heather, you look absolutely beautiful in that picture.
