I have shown you all what my burgeoning belly is looking like. It’s sticking wayyyyy out there, that is fo sho.
I thought I would show you what my view is whenever I look down:
This picture cracks me up. The angle makes my toes look so far away that you would think I was seven feet tall. At least it gives you an idea of the sight I behold whenever I look down…except I generally can’t see my feet. The only reason you can see them is due to the angle I was holding the camera at. I didn’t want to include a bust shot along with the belly shot.
Yesterday was a great day. I took G into town to get some things while Matthew worked on the downstairs bathroom and Nathan napped. I had nothing but nice comments said to me by sweet people, both strangers and those I know. I had a few, “You’re all baby!” comments (once the baby’s out, they won’t be distracted by the enormous bump and they’ll see that I have a little extra in the butt and thighs department too…but it was nice to hear that). I had a few other people say, “Good for you!” when I told them I didn’t know if the baby was a boy or girl. I’m not sure why they were so in favour of not knowing, but their tone was positive, and I’ll take it.
Later we went in as a family to get some groceries and I had a sweet older lady comment on how HAPPY my boys are. She asked if I was hoping for a girl, and when I said I would be excited about either she replied, “Well, with cute happy boys like those two, another boy would be great!”
Makes my heart smile when others think my boys are as wonderful as I do.
I’ll leave you with another belly shot - thought I’d mix it up again and show you the front angle. The side view is pretty much the same as last week, except maybe a bit bigger.

Tomorrow will be busy with turkey dinner and such with my mama. I’ll be sure to update everyone after my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday (time to strip), unless something happens earlier…for those of you who are checking hourly (ha!).

Great belly pics - love the one from your angle!
Have a fabulous turkey dinner tomorrow. OUrs was yummy yesterday and we get leftovers today. Yay!
Comment by kami on October 8th, 2006 @ 1:54 pmThe front on shot looks as though you’ve dropped a little since the last side one? Maybe just the camera angle but its exciting!
Have a lovely time with your mom - what a lot to give thanks for!
I am so excited for Wednesday, well I’ll be gracious and say Thursday as you probably shouldn’t be blogging from the hospital, lol. Can’t wait to meet Baby D, (even if it is only virtually!).
Comment by Amanda Franks on October 8th, 2006 @ 7:20 pmI think maybe I’ll have to swing by the hospital on the way thru Penticton with my mom to see if you’re there on Thursday. That would be fun! I love the top shot. Too funny!
Comment by christy on October 8th, 2006 @ 7:52 pmWhat a hilarious picture! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope your labour goes smoothly. I gotta say I’m SO happy I don’t ever have to do that again, even though my labours were decent. You’re a braver woman than me.
I love that photo, the other belly shots were hard to see what your belly really looked like. Where the boys the same shape?? Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Yes, “Im a checker every so often, to see if baby is here” blogger. I am absolutely exstatic for you and cant wait to see pictures. All the best this week, and look forward to the great news.
Take care and all the best in the delivery room.
That picture is waaaay cool!! I have to say, I was looking at your blog last night when hubby came in. It was my turn to read Ethan a bedtime story so I left him at the computer looking at your post!! I wondered if he would comment, but he didn’t. He seemed quite intrigued by your belly photo. He was like “are those her TOES?” … lol! As I left the room I said “I don’t mind that you’re checking out my friend” and he went all embarrassed and said “no, I’m just going to read about what she’s been up to!” … hilarious! He never reads any blogs except mine, so I thought it was very funny. And cute
That picture is so funny (belly shot)
You look so great by the way. All baby that is for sure. I’ll be thinking about you this week. Take care of yourself.

Loved the belly shot pic - it looked like a giant egg - how appropriate. We’ll be prayin’ for you this week & I’ll look forward to hearing news via Amanda. “BE of Good Courage girl!”

awesome! you took pregnancy straight on, DB! I like to argue with chauvinist men on who’s the “weak sex”, which are stupid uneducated statements. I reply “who has the biological ability to have babies?” and they shut up right away. Maybe the reason why women have babies is “god” trying to tell us men that it’s what being a female is, no better or worse, but we’re equal despite the gender differences that made us who we are. Now back to the pic, it’s odd but cute and hilarious LoL. The feet are almost invisible and yeah these grow too…I hope your husband is very proud and cherish that moment with you +
On your self-portrait, you look great and in good shape. Important you took good care of yourself and baby. Miss Emily (ah hah I been paying attention!) is fortunate to pick you as her mother 
, and half of her from an equally caring father. I’ve knew friends who were single moms took on the job of raising kids alone, and they say “I don’t need a men, yet it’s considerate for someone to help” like family and friends in babysitting, shopping and at least, a social life to keep mommy company. It’s a job you can do, but any support is welcome. +
The “checking hourly” comment you made, yeah, that would be me! Glad to hear you had such a positive day yesterday. Happy Thanksgiving ~ you have much to be thankful for!
