Big belly, pregnant dreams, and a lemon berry tart

37.5 weeks.jpg

James took this picture tonight, at 37.5 weeks. Can you believe I have gained less than 20 pounds? I am all baby, baby! For some reason, I look extra big in this picture, but I know I have grown since last week when I took the last one.

I think I am really stressing about labor and how much my life is going to change. Last night I dreamed that:

-- my baby came out looking about 4 years old and I didn't want to nurse her because it seemed gross to nurse a child that old.

-- I forgot to change her diaper for 3 days

-- she had 3 legs. In the dream, I obsessively went over the ultrasound pictures, trying to figure out how the doctor missed that.

Yep, definitely stressing out.

Now for something mouth-watering. Here is the yummy lemon berry tart I had on Saturday when my mom took me for tea. I have cut back on sweets, so I really enjoyed this!

You are looking great. I found that I really got big the last month of my pregnancies. You look wonderfully pregnant :)

I really did LOL! The week before my scheduled caesar - I dreamed that I had this huge hole in my stomach and I was kinda having to hold the baby in - the doctor said it was ok, because she(I actually dreamed it was a girl and I was having a boy)was still attached to the umbilical - so she still got all her oxygen and stuff from me through it and that i just had to hang on until the caesar when they would sort everything out. The dream was SO lifelike that when I woke up I actually felt my stomach to check if 'she' was ok!!!! What our brains will do to us when we're THAT pregnant is worthy of screenplays!!

Its funny how pregnancy weight gain and actual visual size are so different! I have had a few people remark that I must be "near the end" and I havent gained a horrible amount of weight, I guess it just looks like it!

That tart looks SO GOOD!!

That's a wonderful picture of you, Hannah! You look great and VERY pregnant! :) Just think ... you won't have that belly much longer! I can't believe that you're almost there. I'm thinking of you and wishing you guys all the best. I *know* that everything will go just fine ... don't be scared or stressed! [I know, easy for me to say, right?] That lemon-berry tart looks divine ... mmm!

You are all baby!~ Cute belly pic. That tart looks delicious too.

I had to laugh at the dream, strange things we can dream about. Hopefully they'll let up for you. Take care. :)
