Did I think that my belly could ever get this big?WOWZERS! My baby belly is HUGE! I can hardly fit into a student desk. I have an index-finger width left, so any movement at all, my belly gets squished. I always pull a student desk to the front of the room and sit in it while I teach. When I go to sit down, I have to ease into the desk ever so carefully. Ha! It's actually kinda funny to watch!
I have only a few more days until I'm an unemployed mother-to-be. Unbelievable.

This robe is going with me to the hospital. It's my robe that I got from last Christmas, and I'm amazed that it still fits around me. It's so plush and comf...my absolute favorite thing to wear around the house...along with stretchy pants. Didn't ever think I'd be one of "those" pregnant women with the stretchy pants on, but you couldn't pay me money to keep jeans or work clothes on while bumming around the house. Hugh's feece pull-overs and long-sleeved t-shirts are also a perfect fit!
NESTING: I've got it bad. I mean, B-A-D. I've gutted our closet and organized it to the tinsiest little detail. I've move furniture from room to room(well Hugh moved it for me). There's nothing like anticipating a good, lazy Sunday afternoon on the couch watching football(Hugh's dream every Sunday)....and then your nesting wife beacons you to come move furniture all over the house. Hugh's such a good sport and a great hubby!!
I've cleaned out drawers that haven't been opened in ages. I got up at 6:15 on my Saturday morning, eager to wash clothes, sweep, clip Daisy's nails, do my quiet time(though it's hard to stay still), my breech exercises(very interesting might I add. I'll have to post a picture.), and unload the dishwasher. And it doesn't stop there. My agenda for the Thanksgiving break is packed full of organizing this house. My pantry, the hall closet, and the bottom of our baby girl's closet are next on the list. Our guest room is coming together slowly too. That's on there too. I have my hosptial bag about 85% packed. It's not like I have a ton of energy. Don't get me wrong...I'm SO tired, and unmovtivated in everything BUT cleaning my house. It's amazing how I instantly feel motivated to do all of these things at home. I love it! I can't imagine how "crazy" I'll be when my home is my work-place. I wonder if this nesting will wear off. Hmm... I'll get so much done!!! Yippie!!

The nesting wears off - I haven't scrubbed baseboards since before Gideon came. And I'm doing good to get the laundry folded and my bed made. You are all belly, m'dear. And all that weight you thought you gained - well, it's all in your belly, no where else. Way to go.
Hollie you are so terribly cute. You definately have a tummy, but it's so cute and definately the only place weight has been added. Thanks also for all the info in your previous post, it was so educational. I'll be praying for you and baby Carson!
Hot mama!! You are so cute!! Hollie, really...you have only gained in that tummy. No where else!! I was a blimp and just think, I didn't even make it to 37 weeks. Ethan was born at 36 weeks and I was BIGGER than you :) LOL!!
I'll try to post the "soccer mom car" soon. Oh, and all that spare time you think you are going to have at home after the baby...yeah, not so much :) Love you girl!!
