So Very Ready

After the pain I went through in labor the first time around with Henry, I really cannot believe that I am putting the following phrase into writing: I am ready to get this baby out of me.
My blogger friends, I am huge. As I walk down the street, people look at me in amazement. I continue to get comments like, "Are you sure there's only one baby in there?", and then I get paranoid and have bad dreams of giving birth to 20 little hidden babies that never showed up on the ultrasounds. Notice this girl in the picture looking at me as I walk past her. Imagine getting that look more than 20 times per day.

And here I am from the side, eating a gelato. Yes, I realize that I have exceeded my kilo allowance for this pregnancy and the gelato isn't helping my size, but it's Italy and it's spring; so I am going to eat and enjoy my gelato!

You look great! Can't wait to hear that Phoebe Susan is on her way safely.

Hang in there. I can't imagine how much walking and waddling you are having to do.
