Home stretch! It doesn’t feel like it’s almost time, but I’m 38 weeks along already.
We’re expecting a boy, and every stranger that has put forth a guess has guessed correctly. “It’s like a basketball!” they say. “All belly!”
p.s. Me at similar points with the first two pregnancies, here and here.

Yeah, I was all up front like that, too, and I had a girl. Everyone said it was a boy, and one lady actually argued with me. (Um, I had amnio.) So, just saying that, while you look cute, where you carry really has nothing to do with gender.
Dorris
I don’t normally comment, but I had to because you look absolutely adorable. Seriously.
Bridget
ADORBS!

You look great!! Hoping you have a happy, healthy rest of your pregnancy! (I’ve got 4 weeks left!)
Amber @ Wills Casa
You look so adorable and definitely all belly! Can’t wait to meet the newest baby boy!
Sara
You look fantastic! I’m currently 25 weeks with my first and beginning to have a round belly. I’m in serious need of some cute bump friendly clothes, and I’m dying to know where you got that shirt!
Making it Lovely
I bought it when I was pregnant the first time around, five years ago. It was from Motherhood Maternity.

Hi! My LO is 4.5 months and I just wanted to let you know I have a nursing-friendly store so when your LO is born, if you’re ever shopping for gifts or home decor in Forest Park, feel free to stop in and nurse in a comfy seat :) I nurse here, so I love to reach out to other (soon-to-be) nursing moms to show support! Love your blog!
Making it Lovely
Thanks. I need to stop in sometime anyway — I was looking at some of what you have on the site and it all looks so good!
Dawn
You are looking lovely at 38 weeks and glowing, too! All the best on delivery day! Hugs!
Cynthia
Wow, you look well-rested, perky, energetic, and ready to roll! In fact, you look WAY TOO GOOD for giving birth. I have a feeling you have a few weeks yet. Enjoy it!
Making it Lovely
Oh, I’m hoping I don’t go past the due date. Eleanor was born 15 days after and I’m not looking to repeat that experience!
SFDC
I had that same maternity shirt and it was my absolute favorite! You look fantastic. Best of luck for a smooth and easy delivery!
Paige
Hope you are feeling good. You look good! I like the short hair on you! Wishing you easy and comfortable labor and delivery!
Sayeh, The Office Stylist
You look great! Hope you have a safe and healthy delivery of your baby boy! Best wishes and good luck! :)
Jennifer
You look great! I’m 32 weeks with my second boy and I have the same basketball belly. It’s quite a dramatic look in profile! I hope you get a chance to rest a bit. (ha!)
Making it Lovely
The profile is crazy. People keep telling me that from behind, I don’t look pregnant. (Until they see me walk/waddle, at least!)
Mrs Limestone
You look great and I love the outfit! I hope you are enjoying you are being babied yourself for the home stretch.
Jacky
I was totally thinking boy. You look amazing, happy and healthy! Best of luck!
Cassidy
Aw! I feel like I’ve “known” you forever — I remember the picture of you painting the rug on your old front porch while BIG pregnant with Eleanor. Can’t wait to meet this new little guy :) Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Making it Lovely
I cannot believe I was able to do that. I certainly couldn’t take on a project like that this time around!
Amanda B
You are the cutest pregnant lady ever!
melissa clary
i read your blog daily, but have never left a comment. seeing this picture made me want to tell you, “you are the cutest pregnant gal ever!”. having had 4 my self, i never looked that good! good luck and enjoy #3. the world could use more third borns. you will soon understand why :)
Making it Lovely
Thank you for leaving your first comment — and such a sweet one! Brandon is the third of three. :)
Alissa
You look great! I loved wearing stripes while pregnant – I remember when my yoga teacher said you could tell I had dropped because the stripes went in a different direction! It’s funny about the belly – I have two girls and carried “basketball style” both times. If I ever have a third, I’m curious if I’d carry a boy differently.
Making it Lovely
Yeah, I don’t see how your body would carry differently based on the baby’s sex. People seem to put a lot of faith in it though!
Kathryn
hmmm, will you share a birthday? :) You look fabulous (and nicely coordinated with the room decor!).
Making it Lovely
Maybe… but if it’s not going to be the 22nd, maybe it could be the 23rd (my grandma’s birthday)?
Heather
You look beautiful! Enjoy these last few days as a family of four and be sure to give Eleanor and August extra cuddles.
Kelley
You look great!! Hang in there :)
Danielle
You look awesome! Adorable as ever! Good luck with the home stretch!
Melissa
You look great and I love the stripes! I’m 34 weeks with my second boy and get the “all belly!” comments too. Hang in there!
Emily T
You look beautiful. Definitely all belly.
Can’t wait to see baby pics and also to find out what you name him!!!
We had our first, a little boy named Otis only 2 months ago. You’d think we named him Satan by the reactions we got. Anyway, I’ve always been intrigued as we too have a cat named Mabel.
All the very best for the safe arrival of your beautiful baby boy.
Priscilla
Lol – “Satan”! I think Otis is adorable!
Nicole, you are so cute! Best wishes for a soon & safe delivery!
Jamie
Otis is an amazing name.
Making it Lovely
Aw, I love the name Otis! Who would have such a problem with that?
Ariana
You look vibrant and absolutely fantastic (which is do hard to do when it’s not your first pregnancy).
Yes, indeed that’s a boy belly :) I had a girl first, and then 3 boys and the last 3 times it’s like there is a neon flashing sign shouting ‘I’m male!’ Best wishes for a healthy and safe delivery.
Carol
You look adorable and your best yet! Good luck with your new bundle.
Roxy Schmid
I was due yesterday, but gave birth 10 days early — thank god! With baby Knox’s early arrival, I got to go to Renegade! Lol
Hope your delivery is quick and easy!
Making it Lovely
Such considerate timing. It’s important to get thyself to Renegade! ;)
