growing a boy...

not sure why i am even posting these.  ha ha

as mentioned in the previous post,

i was/am quite sentimental

with this pregnancy being my last.  

in the beginning, i thought it would be cute

to chronicle the growing belly.

but by the end, 

it was more of a timeline

of a fading tan, 

number of chins increasing exponentially,

and how hard it was to even smile

since even my lips were swollen. 

ha ha.  oh well, it's over and done and 

i am so excited there are buttons on my pants now! 

(oopsies.. 

forgot my little numbers

when we were in the Caymans)

(disclaimer:

this pic was actually taken on our way 

out the door to the hospital,

but i was technically 38 weeks 

the next day when i delivered.)
