Three Weeks to Go til Baby!

There are very few pregnancy pictures of me this time. Actually, the only ones that existed until today are on my sister's camera. So, I took control and asked my son Luke (age 9) to take some pics of me. He did a very nice job, I think. He got Ty to do this- soooo sweet. 

I like how my butt is up against a dark background so you can see how big it is. I also like that I am looking down at Ty so you can't see my triple chin. Some recent comments from strangers-

Check out lady at Ralph's-"Wow, you are ready to pop girl" 

Same lady- "It is definitely a boy"

Person at church- "Are you sure there aren't twins in there?"

Woman at preschool- "Wow, you look tan. Where did you go?" 

This comment was due to the "mask of pregnancy" I get. The pigment on my face changes to brown. At least I look like I've been having fun.

Most common questions are:

 1) When are you due?   Answer- I am scheduled for a c-section on April 8th. I have realized that every one's birthday is in April. Very common month.

2) Do you know what you are having? Answer- No, I want it to be a surprise. This creates a lot of responses. Some people are irritated that I don't want to know and others love it. Most just decide that they know without a doubt what I am having. I wish I had taken a poll from the beginning, but right now it seems to be half and half. In the beginning it was all -"It is a boy." Then in the middle of my pregnancy, it was all- "It's a girl." I think this is because my rear end was widening. Now, I am getting a lot of boy guesses again. We will see in about three weeks.

I'm supposed to remember to go back and tell everyone who has made a prediction whether they were right or not. Hmmmm, not thinking that is going to happen!
