"Are you sure you're not having twins?"
"Erika, you're really big!" "Why is there a ball under your shirt?"
"So, how much longer do you have?" "Is it uncomfortable?" "When are you due again?" "Looks like you could dust corners with that belly button!"
These are just a few of the comments Erika's been hearing for oh, the last two months of so. It's all pretty comical and admittedly, the belly is BIG! At our 34 week ultrasound, for example, the baby measured a whopping 6.5 pounds (for comparison, Ella measured at 5.25 pounds during the same week) and when the doctor announced that we had "nice, healthy baby," we knew we had a whopper growing. We were immediately assured, however, that 99% of second births are delivered naturally so there should be no problems....this of course, is coming from a MALE doctor who never in his life has given birth to a baby, let alone a 9+ pounder, which we're guessing the weight to be! Tim says it's going to be boy (rather, he hopes given the weight!) and mother's instincts agree with his premonition but with that said, we'd love to welcome another little girl, too. We'll be happy with either and Erika's really more interested to know if this next one will resemble her in ANYway.....Hmmmm. Just a little over 3 weeks to go before we'll know!
One day shy of 24 weeks
One day shy of 24 weeks
One day shy of 27 weeks
Almost 31 weeks (yes, that's correct. 31, not 37)
And, most current: 36 1/2 weeks

You look awesome! You are ALL belly.
I just love it. Congrats, again. We can't wait to hear the news and find out if it's a boy or a girl :)
Love,

Yes, you are definitely all belly! You look SO GOOD Erika!. I'll be in town over labor day weekend, so I hope to meet the new little girl, oh um...I mean baby :) Hee hee. I think it looks like a girl again!
Oh Erika, I feel your pain! Although I must say I think I have you topped and I'm a month behind you. You look fabulous (you forgot to put that one in your quotes at the top...do you get that a lot and wonder if people really mean it?). Well, trust me, you do! :)
