8 Months Pregnant

So this Sunday I will be 32 weeks pregnant, or should I say 8 months.  Whichever sounds further along, just go with that.  My wonderful, but terribly missed, husband will be home in 6 1/2 weeks and this baby is scheduled to come out in 7 weeks time.  I am getting incredibly impatient as this baby keeps growing, my body fills out a little more each day making it harder for me to get around easily and without any pain.

I keep looking at my closet, or should I refer to it as the area with very little clothes that fit.  I wish to the days where my body becomes a little smaller and I will be able to fit back in to those clothes again.  These days it feels like that will never come.

In my knowledge of the human body, I understand the baby needs to be in your belly for as long as possible (up to or including 40 weeks) but once you have had a little child of God growing in your belly, you really feel like you never need to experience that again.  Just get pregnant and give me the baby.  I've been through this before and I'm exhausted already.  I am sure that most moms agree, although there are some who enjoy it, being pregnant is highly overrated.

Well I thought I would post some pictures that I had my cousin Natalie Gielens do a maternity photo shoot for me as a Valentine's Day surprise for my Australia bound husband while he's away.  Here are a few of my favorites (only a few because there were a lot to choose from):
