April 21, 2009 at 2:27 pmYou look fantastic! And it definitely looks like the baby has dropped a good bit since the last picture you posted. Is the nursery ready to go?
Kim
April 21, 2009 at 2:33 pmOk, you look AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
I’m new to your blog and so happy that I found you. I’ve loved looking back in the archives.
And now to tune in to see your baby? well, that’s just icing……lovely, lovely icing.
Sending out happy vibes for a wonderful birth:)
Nina
April 21, 2009 at 2:34 pmI agree with Lindsay’s comment, the baby’s definitely sitting low! Anytime now…
ps – love the haircut!
rose
April 21, 2009 at 2:35 pmI came on here just to tell you that you look amazing. and i saw others did too.
this is my first comment. I found your blog randomly, I fell in love with it, and i’ve been checking it daily since. :)
Anna @ D16
April 21, 2009 at 2:38 pmMan, you look GORGEOUS. Baby baby baby!
Kim
April 21, 2009 at 2:41 pmYou do look great.
And by the way, I’m sure you know that first babies are often late. Mine was 10 days late. But when she was ready, she was ready, and the labor was quick and easy. I hope it’s the same with you!
Sara Carrington
April 21, 2009 at 2:43 pmWhat a cute picture! Love it.
Me? A Mom?
April 21, 2009 at 2:44 pmI wish I had an ounce of your style. Seriously, you look so great.
Amanda
April 21, 2009 at 2:46 pmI love this picture!
Melissa (miss)
April 21, 2009 at 2:48 pmYou look perfectly lovely. Good luck!
aud
April 21, 2009 at 2:48 pmBoth my girls were two weeks overdue — and not to scare you, but they popped out as 10-pounders. We joked that they spent those last two weeks, laid up in style, just getting fat and sassy. :) Looking forward to “meeting” the little miss.
Tanna
April 21, 2009 at 2:50 pmYou look absolutely beautiful! Any day now! :)
Amber
April 21, 2009 at 2:54 pmThis picture is great! Your body language says it all!!
Good luck to you. I check twitter & my google reader hoping to hear your good news :)
mary.c
April 21, 2009 at 2:55 pmAs mentioned in every single comment previous to mine: you look ADORABLE! What a great picture. Can’t wait for her to arrive! ;)
Briana
April 21, 2009 at 2:57 pmThe same thing happened to me. There’s nothing stranger than watching your due date come and go after you’ve been anxiously awaiting it for so many many months….
Savor these last few days! Your life is about cross a threshold!
Marie
April 21, 2009 at 3:00 pmMy little guy was a week overdue — I so understand how you feel — I hope you have a terrific birth!
Rebecca
April 21, 2009 at 3:01 pmLove, love, love this photo! And you look fabulous!
Cristie
April 21, 2009 at 3:04 pmTen Months Pregnant! Been there, done that! Bit the head off everyone who nagged me about it–like I was staying PG on purpose. Oh yeah, I tried walking, salads, and sex and while they all had their merits, my little one came when she damn-well felt like it. And what a Beau-Ti-Ful little (big) thing she was, and still is! Enjoy what little time you have left with your big round tummy–seriously!
Kara
April 21, 2009 at 3:08 pmWow that’s a long time to wait!!
I was two weeks late and I was my mom’s first child.
I keep checking your blog every day to see if today is the day, haha.
I hope everything goes wonderfully!
Camilla
April 21, 2009 at 3:08 pmDitto on the hair, you look great.
Btw, I saw that you won the Glam network living category award, so congrats!
BP
April 21, 2009 at 3:11 pmI love your hair–so shiny! And your outfit is amazingly cute. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and your little girl. Your blog has been a big inspiration to me on how to craft a stylish and young look in a first home. Thanks!
Karen
April 21, 2009 at 3:15 pmI’ve been where you’ve been – twice! Both my toddler son (19 months old) and infant daughter (just 5 weeks old) were born at exactly 41 weeks. Hang in there and good luck with the delivery!
wide open spaces
April 21, 2009 at 3:19 pmoh, sweetheart. do I know how you are feeling. My youngest is three today but in an instant I am back to how I was feeling three years ago yesterday. One last night of chocolate in a bubble bath before mommy time hits?
lori
April 21, 2009 at 3:23 pmyou are so patient! by 37 weeks i was ready to be done! can’t wait to meet the new little lady!
Jessica
April 21, 2009 at 3:24 pmI just knew this post was going to say she had arrived.
Well, at least you look seriously beautiful.
Sarah S
April 21, 2009 at 3:25 pmYou look great! My daughter was born at almost 42 weeks, and I am due tomorrow with baby number 2. I do not anticipate having him tonight or tomorrow, so I’ll be joining you in the post-date ranks. I feel patient, too. I just wish the rest of my family did and would stop calling me multiple times a day. :) But the any-minute-ness now of the whole thing is kind of weird. It is soooooo worth it when those babies come! It won’t be long now. Best wishes for a wonderful birth experience.
puck
April 21, 2009 at 3:28 pmAhhh… it’ll happen.
Have them strip your membranes if you are anxious. I have that done on my 4th, and labor started the next day!
marlene
April 21, 2009 at 3:30 pmyou are so close. hang in there!
Michelle
April 21, 2009 at 3:31 pmYou look fab! Hope all goes well (I’m sure it will) and you’ll have that baby girl home in her fashionably cute nursery in no time :)
erin
April 21, 2009 at 3:32 pmYou look gorgeous. I’m due in 3 weeks and only hope I look that beautiful then. LOVE the necklace!
katie
April 21, 2009 at 3:36 pmAww, I feel your pain! I went 1 week late with my daugher! Hang in there! go walk some stairs. ;)
Jan
April 21, 2009 at 3:39 pmAny minute now. Where did you get that great necklace?
Tiffany-Z
April 21, 2009 at 3:40 pmYou make such an adorable pregnant mommy. I hope that whenever I have kids I looks half as pretty and cute as you do!
Kati Davis
April 21, 2009 at 3:40 pmThis is one of the cutest pictures ever!
Heather
April 21, 2009 at 3:58 pmWow! You look really great…and so put together! This can be difficult to achieve even on a non-pregnant day!
Chelsea
April 21, 2009 at 4:13 pmI just couldn’t not comment to wish you support in your wait, and to let you know how excited for you this reader of your blog is!
Lori Danelle
April 21, 2009 at 4:16 pmshe’s just trying to give you time to work on your porch, because as I’m sure you’ve been told, you won’t have much time nor energy once she gets here!!!
(and remember, despite how you may be feeling right now, she WILL come.)
Melanie
April 21, 2009 at 4:19 pmI agree with everyone else…you are adorable. Just wondering what your diaper bag looks like? That was a big thing when I was pregnant, I refuse to carry an ugly diaper bag. Unfortunately after the second baby my fashion sense vanished…who has the time? :)
Good luck with the delivery!
Corie
April 21, 2009 at 4:23 pmYou couldn’t look any cuter! I love your necklace!
Good luck, Nicole. Any day now! I’m so excited for you guys!
Lindsay
April 21, 2009 at 4:33 pmUm, yes. I need to echo the choruses of people saying how fantastic you look. Huzzah! The sweater and accessories? Love. You look great!
Heidi Fazio
April 21, 2009 at 4:36 pmlove your blog and you look great for 41 weeks, i bet tonight is your night!
jbhat
April 21, 2009 at 4:55 pmOh, what a fantastic picture! You look beautiful.
My sister and I were a MONTH late. We run late to this day.
Not that your girl will do that to you. Here’s to a speedy “outcome!”
betosgirl
April 21, 2009 at 4:56 pmHUGELY pregnant, I was checking out @ the grocery store & the bag boy asked when I was due. “Friday”, I answered. He made an encouraging comment about Friday being right around to which I responded “No, LAST FRIDAY, I think I’m in labor right now!”. You should have seen his face… priceless! He hustled me outta there as fast as lightning and 12 hours later I was laying in bed nursing a baby…. (and i gotta say it too, that photo is beyond adorable!)
betosgirl
April 21, 2009 at 4:57 pmi meant he said “friday is right around the corner” duh
Keri
April 21, 2009 at 5:04 pmDon’t worry- she’ll be here before you know it! You look so great, too! Are you resting or trying to frantically nest:-). I did way too much of the latter in the days leading up to my little one’s birth!
amy purple
April 21, 2009 at 5:06 pmI love this photo!
bink
April 21, 2009 at 5:17 pmYou look so darn cute! Try to sneak some extra sleep time in before she does arrive…you will need it. Can’t wait for her to make her debut on your blog.
Wishing you a smooth and safe delivery!
Aprill
April 21, 2009 at 5:29 pmGorgeous pic. Not long now. Best wishes!
bebojo
April 21, 2009 at 5:30 pmI am a huge fan of your blog and wish you and your cute hubby a speedy, healthy delivery. I was a week past due with my first which was welcomed as we were renovating our new (very old) house – I went into labour whilst painting the stairs (gas mask and all) not really recommended. Take good care of yourself now and rest as much as you can – soon you will have a beautiful babe that will demand every inch of you!
Enyoy this precious time.
All my best,
Stacey
alivicwil
April 21, 2009 at 5:44 pmIs that “we’re just waiting patiently” a polite way of telling us all to do the same?!
:)
I’m a little late to the party, but you look so beautiful in this picture.
Erin
April 21, 2009 at 5:48 pmNicole, every time I see a new post from you pop up in my reader, I anxiously click on it thinking it might be “the post” announcing your baby! Hang in there. :) What an awesome photo.
captain kk
April 21, 2009 at 5:50 pmyou look fabulous! great photo :) looking forward to seeing your bambina’s beautiful little scrunched up face on a post soon.
ShocktheBourgeois
April 21, 2009 at 5:54 pmThat’s a wonderful picture- like, “Baby, what the heck?”
You’re doing a wonderful thing for your little one by taking so many pictures- she’ll always treasure photos of her lovely mommy!
Anyway, keep writing- your blog has long been a bright spot in my day :)
Catherine
April 21, 2009 at 6:01 pmLOVE the haircut! Hey, if you’re going to be late, as least you look good waiting!
Katie O
April 21, 2009 at 6:38 pmI too came on here to comment (for the first time) on how BEAUTIFUL you look! L.O.V.I.N.G. your outfit!
Emily
April 21, 2009 at 6:40 pmHow fun! I check in every day just to see! I was 41 weeks, too- induced in the end- argh!
Anyhoo, enjoy this time- you do look great and I LOVE the hair- is it new-ish???
Denise
April 21, 2009 at 6:41 pmI keep checking in to see if your little one has made her first appearance on your lovely blog. Can’t wait to read the happy announcement.
jennifer Hughes
April 21, 2009 at 7:03 pmoh my goodness you are so cute, you look great. hopefully she comes soon its the waiting that’s the hardest..
Rachel B.
April 21, 2009 at 7:09 pmpoor thing!! my thoughts are with you!
Amy
April 21, 2009 at 7:14 pmWow. you look great! Best of luck to you and your little one (and hubby too)!
angeljoy
April 21, 2009 at 7:31 pmAfter 5 1/2 years, I can’t remember exactly whether she was early or late. Hubby says she was a week early.
It still felt like it took forever for her to get here.
Michele
April 21, 2009 at 7:32 pmI want to echo all the previous comments….you look gorgeous and baby will come. Enjoy these last precious moments of silent waiting – to me it seemed like an intensely close time between my unborn daughter and myself. Wishing you well.
Ashley B.
April 21, 2009 at 7:37 pmThat pic of you is all kinds of cute! I predict two more days. The 23rd. After dinnertime.
Fiona
April 21, 2009 at 7:44 pmYou look great! I actually felt great (if absolutely enormous) until the end. They were going to induce me at 41 weeks, but then my substitute doctor realized the baby was potentially 12 pounds and advised me to get a c-section. (She ended up being 10 lbs.) Regardless, she had not even dropped at 41 weeks. How long will your doctor let you wait?
LindaS
April 21, 2009 at 7:46 pmOh my! I looked like a bloated up mad woman at 1 week overdue – you look fabulous! Im convinced (no scientific basis at all!) that overdue babies are too happy & chilled out to be born yet & this makes for contented little newborns.
Joi
April 21, 2009 at 8:07 pmYou look great! Here’s hoping she comes soon!
And your outfit is lovely!
Judy Haley
April 21, 2009 at 8:53 pmI have just discovered that the are sooooo much easier to take care of when they’re still inside ;) but they’re so much more fun when they’re outside.
best wishes
Emma
April 21, 2009 at 9:28 pm41 weeks huh?! But this is such a rocking pic of you! You look great!
Sandy
April 21, 2009 at 9:54 pmI have to say you are the prettiest 41 week pregnant woman I have ever seen! Congrats!
LK
April 21, 2009 at 10:05 pmI hope you go soon, even thoguh you looks relatively ok. Do you know when they will induce?
Emily
April 21, 2009 at 10:24 pmbeen waiting for an announcement….you look amazing by the way…good luck!
Making it Lovely
April 21, 2009 at 10:33 pm10:30 p.m. and still here. ;)
My doctor won’t let me go past 42 weeks, so I’ll be induced if I don’t have the baby by next Tuesday. Obviously I’m hoping she’ll make her appearance before then!
kate
April 21, 2009 at 10:37 pmyou look great! my son was supposed to be induced – he was 9 days late – and i didn’t want that. so i went for a combination of hot fudge sundaes, spicy wings and accupuncture. That did the trick!! we avoided induction. GOOD LUCK!!
Jennifer Allwoood
April 21, 2009 at 10:43 pmI was 9 days over with my 3rd baby….Keep on a holding out! She’ll get here!!!!!!!!
jo
April 21, 2009 at 10:51 pmyou look amazing! my last couple weeks (ok maybe months) of pregnancy i was so schlumpy!
robin
April 21, 2009 at 10:53 pmso freakin cute! good luck :O)
Jo
April 21, 2009 at 10:54 pmAll I can say is just try not to get impatient and enjoy these last few days together before you life changes forever. Hope all goes well for you.
Jo x
(ps have you tried castor oil? I did it for both pregnancies and labour started within hours)
Jules
April 21, 2009 at 11:15 pmI LOVE this picture! You look great, as everyone has already mentioned. :) Where did you get that darling necklace?
Making it Lovely
April 21, 2009 at 11:19 pmConfession: I think it’s kind of funny that everyone keeps saying how great I look. I mean, I really appreciate it, but I certainly don’t feel like I’m looking great these days! I feel huge and awkward, and I’m wearing stretchy pants in that photo (the horror).
But you know, thanks! ;)
And the necklace is a few years old – I think I bought it at Express.
johanna t.
April 21, 2009 at 11:32 pmI just gave birth a few weeks ago. I was 42 weeks and 2 days. Technically, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists does not consider you over due until 42 weeks. I only mention it in case you feel any pressure to induce. Good luck. Hang in there. Your little girl will come when she is ready.
Jules
April 22, 2009 at 12:27 amWell, I wasn’t going to say it, but I’m pretty sure I felt the world counter-rotate when I noticed you were wearing pants! Pants or no, you still look great!
Alexis L.
April 22, 2009 at 1:31 amYou look beautiful. Wishing you a safe and speedy delivery whenever your little girl is ready.
Jen
April 22, 2009 at 2:22 amStretchy pants, ha! You look great anyway! I think it’s your knack of looking “put-together” that we’re all envying. If it were me, I’d be wearing whatever was most comfortable for sitting on the couch. Actually, that’s what I’m wearing now and I’m not even pregnant!
Berglind Ásgeirsdóttir
April 22, 2009 at 3:13 amI love this picture!I love your blog!
Good luck with everything :)
Charla @ For the Sake of Time
April 22, 2009 at 5:30 amYou look fantastic! Some women like to make and grand entrance and she is just waiting to do that. Best of luch.
Mixing Bowl Mama
April 22, 2009 at 6:10 amYou look so great!!! Good luck with everything and I’m sure she’ll be here before you know it. I love that you are calmly waiting for her arrival. I know several people who have been past their due date and they start demanding to be induced…but you seem so peaceful and it really shows.
Kristin
April 22, 2009 at 6:31 amWhat a great picture! You’re so creative.
She’ll come soon, all the best!
Herta
April 22, 2009 at 6:41 amAs a fellow woman who was overdue (42 weeks for both my kids) I vote that the ‘normal’ gestation period be changed to 42 weeks!…Also, as others have said, she will come when she is ready. All the very best for the coming weeks I’m sure you, your husband and family/friends will be over the moon when your little one decides to make her appearance. xox
luuvely
April 22, 2009 at 6:53 ami do love this picture! and you will too in like 3 years when your little one starts to saying “i can do it myself!” you will look back on this picture and say things like..”man i wish you were a baby again!”
yeah although you feel akward..this picture is PERFECTION! :)
btw..my khalil was 1 week and 1 day “late” so 41 weeks and 1 day…so feel “good” that you arent the only one “overdue” i never trusted the whole date thing anyway…
Rosebud
April 22, 2009 at 7:03 amCould you be any cuter? Love the pink cardigan!
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints
April 22, 2009 at 7:31 amOh I’m so excited for you. There is nothing like becoming a mommy. You are going to love it. Take a long walk and then if you can stand it have sex:) That really helps.
Mandy Ford
April 22, 2009 at 7:50 amOh you poor thing! But you still look so cute and stylish!! hang in there and try to stay as comfortable as possible. I know that is almost impossible at this point though. {hugs}
Martha
April 22, 2009 at 7:52 amYou are too dang cute!!! Blessings…
Leeng
April 22, 2009 at 8:06 amBoth of my kids were exactly 3.5 weeks over due. We joke that they enjoyed the spa-like, warm environment so well they just didn’t want to leave. Since they’re now 26 and 14, I really miss being pregnant. Enjoy this time – you’ll look back on it fondly — guaranteed!
Renae Moore
April 22, 2009 at 8:18 amOh honey….time is surely very short. I know you are more than ready, joy comes soon!
blessings…
bungalowbliss
April 22, 2009 at 8:37 amGreat pic…and you’re looking fab as usual. Best wishes over the next week or so.
Little chica, you have a lot of people anxiously awaiting your arrival!
Mariss
April 22, 2009 at 8:44 amIs the baby procrastinating?! Just kidding!
Best of wishes for a safe delivery to you and the baby.
Chelsea
April 22, 2009 at 9:01 amWishing you the best of luck! xoxo
Mefi
April 22, 2009 at 9:05 amyou look great.
good luck. delivery of your baby is so special.
Sarah
April 22, 2009 at 9:50 amYou definitely do look great! I’ve been checking in daily to see if she’s come yet… you will all be together soon!
