Pictures for Ms. Jenny

Will came home from school today convinced that Ms. Jenny wanted him to "take pictures of everyone in the family." Here are his shots. (Matt was still at work).

39 weeks

Here are a few last shots of me preggo! I have been thinking about posting something poignant about being pregnant - so here goes:

Dear Pregnancy:

I have spent about 3.07 years/160 weeks/1,120 days/26,880 hours with you. It has been bitter and sweet, but mostly sweet. Before I got pregnant for the first time I was convinced that I would have great difficulty, but you proved me wrong.

I won't miss the burning round ligament pain, the itchy skin, the hemorrhoids, the groin pain and the restless nights. But oh how I will miss the miracle of it all: feeling the babies move inside, seeing a little hand or foot brush just underneath my skin. Having people smile at me simply because they know. . .

I just cannot imagine not believing more in God after spending so much time with you. As I close on my last pregnancy, I am so thankful that you got to know me and I got to know you. I thank you (actually, God) for the 4 beautiful gifts that you have given me. In about 2 years I will long to be with you again, but alas our time together has to end at some point. Sigh. . .

Love,

Christy
