Comparison #3? or 4? Anyway, 38 weeks.

Well, I guess I'm entering the home stretch.  Many of my friends at 38 weeks have been holding their babies for a bit already or are at least thinking, "any day now".  I'm figuring on another couple of weeks - maybe even three.  Who knows?  I have not been a good predictor of my children's arrivals, except by saying, "late" - at least late according to most people's standards.  My children have all arrived between 40.5 and 41.5 weeks, so that's my standard.

Here's how my big ole belly is comparing these days:

 Ephraim

 Johanna

 Tabitha

Mystery

I figure I'm measuring right about on track with the other pregnancies size-wise.  I'm tired most of the time, but I think that would be true even if I wasn't pregnant!  As usual, I'm trying to get all kinds of stuff done in the house before family comes out - it's exhausting, but I love to see how the rooms look when I'm done and it does cure that bit of nesting that would otherwise have me putting together all sorts of baby things that we won't need for a while yet.

Not sure if I'll get to another comparison post or not.....poor Joie got shafted on pictures during her pregnancy, so I don't know if I have any beyond 38 weeks.  I know I have 40 week (or so) ones with the others, though.  Maybe, instead, I'll get to do a "new baby" post soon!
