I guess you could argue "six weeks or more," but I have never gone past my due date. At 34 weeks, however, this is the first time I am surprised that the time is drawing near. By this point I am usually miserable, seriously overweight, and praying the baby will come early. This time around I feel great (other than some heartburn and occasional back aches), have kept my weight down (gained just over 25 pounds so far-- normally gain about 60 pounds); and, I am just plain old busy raising three kiddos under the age of seven and spending my days homeschooling. It has been a wonderful pregnancy!
Today Madeline served as my photography assistant (posing while I messed with my camera settings and served as a "stand in" focus point). Then she joined me for this special picture (above).
The girls also accompanied me to my 34 week check up today. To her delight, Emerson helped measure my ever growing tummy and search for Baby Brother's heartbeat. Baby Boy and Mommy are both healthy and doing well. We all celebrated with some Starbucks for the ride home.
Please pray that we will have wisdom over the coming weeks. I typically have somewhat quick labor/deliveries and we're about 45 minutes from the hospital where I deliver. Pray for my midwives and doctor, and please continue to pray for mommy and baby!

Like your artistic photos:)
So exciting! Glad you and baby boy are both doing well and that you still feel good (or as good as you can at 34 weeks) He'll be here before you know it. Love the photos.
