Remember when I said about nine weeks ago that I was at that “comfortably pregnant” stage and I wondered when the uncomfortable part would start? It’s here.
At least I’m 3/4 of the way there…

Go, you. This is going to be an awesome baby girl. :)

February 5, 2009 at 1:14 pmAll of the pain and uncomfortableness will all be worth it when you lay eyes on that sweet baby. It’s amazing.

February 5, 2009 at 2:43 pmyou are adorable!
Alexis
February 5, 2009 at 3:07 pmTake a bath, and get plenty of rest. A bath every night before I went to bed really helped with the comfort issues and made it a bit easier to sleep at night.
Fiona
February 5, 2009 at 3:22 pmYou look very cute. It is amazing how much bigger I got in the last couple months. It is also amazing that your body gets back to pretty much how it looked before, although be patient, grasshopper–I was stunned by how different my body looked for about 9 months afterwards, and this is from someone who lost the excess weight almost immediately.
Abbie
February 5, 2009 at 3:34 pmYou look beautiful!
And cute shoes!!
lisa
February 5, 2009 at 3:42 pmYou look good in all of your pictures! I hope, if I ever decide to have a baby, that I look as good as you when pregnant!

February 5, 2009 at 4:47 pmwow! you’re almost there. so exciting. sorry you are feeling icky, though. keep your eye on the prize…she’s worth it(:
Ana
February 5, 2009 at 4:59 pmHang in there, and SLOW down. I’m a few days behind you with my second, so I know what you mean. Just try to take it as easy as possible, you can only do so much, and you must conserve energy for later. Best of luck!

Kat
February 5, 2009 at 7:47 pmI totally understand how you feel. I’m 6-7 weeks ahead of you and the discomfort is no fun especially with winter weather. Wish I could look as good as you do!
amy purple
February 5, 2009 at 8:12 pmI just want to give you a hug! I’m so excited for you and brandon! Take care of yourself.
Jessica
February 5, 2009 at 8:13 pm:) I think that you’re doing fine, even though I only know you through your blog but it’s almost the end, right?
Jen
February 5, 2009 at 8:26 pmYou look lovely! It’s hard, at this point, when you begin to feel uncomfortable. I’m 35 weeks today and only have 4 weeks left before my scheduled c-section. I’ve been uncomfortable for a couple weeks now. But the other day, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and thought “Wow. Look at what amazing feats this body of mine can accomplish.” and I felt so happy and honored to be able to bring this life into the world. Congratulations – I know it’s tough, but take time to embrace what an amazing thing you’ve been doing: growing a new human being from scratch!
(And I had to laugh at your primary color comment… yes, unfortunately, the next couple years the toys likely won’t match your decor. I’m still traumatized at that thought this time around!)
Kim de Montreal
February 5, 2009 at 8:51 pmThanks for the update Nicole:) I know it’s cliché, but you won’t believe how fast it all goes. So enjoy this time, discomfort and all.
I’m excited for you and excited to see photos of her and finding out her name!!

February 5, 2009 at 8:52 pmI am new to your site and I love love love it! My sister just had a baby and it will be here before you know it! Thanks for all the inspiration. My husband and I bought a 1928 catalog home in September and have been fixing it up ever since. Good luck!

February 5, 2009 at 10:38 pmI’m thrilled for you, hang in there you’re almost at the finish line. I’m envious :)
Samae
February 5, 2009 at 10:47 pmYou look super cute. I like that dress a lot. I kind of want one and I am not even pregnant. LOL
Gillian
February 6, 2009 at 4:13 amIt’s exciting and scary at the same moment, but the moment you look in her eyes you’ll know that everything you have done was perfectly executed. She will love her beautiful room and she will find the rest of her home so calming, yet fascinating. I am curious to know whether your beautiful home is filled with music and lovely (natural) scents?
Tilly
February 6, 2009 at 6:43 amYou look really beautiful. I remember well that heavy, uncomfortable time!!
teresa
February 6, 2009 at 6:55 amYou look so great! Wow, and no swollen ankles – lucky girl. Don’t you love that dress? I have the same one and it’s so comfy and cute. I SO know what you mean about being uncomfortable. I laugh at myself all day long because of the weird things I do to make life a little easier…like waddling (why does it help to waddle vs. walk normally?) and holding the bottom of my belly as I walk up the stairs.
It’s all so exciting though, isn’t it?
Tiffany
February 6, 2009 at 8:09 amI’d like to tell you it will get better before then but I’d be lying! The home stretch is the worst. But just think, you’ll have a beautiful baby in your arms in a few months and all the discomfort will be worth it. There’s no greater joy than being a Mom.
And if you’re going to be uncomfortable, at least you look great! I never had that much style pregnant!
bungalowbliss
February 6, 2009 at 8:11 amYou look *great*, and I’m so excited for you!
kat
February 6, 2009 at 8:48 amBut look at you – all radiant and glowy against your lovely pink dining room paper!
Hang in there, I hear there’s a neat prize at the end :)
Cheryl
February 6, 2009 at 9:06 amOmigosh, I see myself in that picture! And I remember how uncomfortable the last couple of months were. You are looking good, and you’re so lucky to be able to wear stylish shoes! (With my first one, the only shoes that would fit on my swollen feet were Nikes!)
kris_spikes
February 6, 2009 at 12:50 pmwell if it’s worth anything….you look adorable.
tey
February 6, 2009 at 3:02 pmYou look fabulous despite the baby bump! And soon all the uneasiness will be replaced with bliss =)
Btw, I have tagged your site for the “your blog is fabulous award”! Congrats!
coral
February 6, 2009 at 3:55 pmOh, man. You’ve always had such great style, but you claim to be miserably pregnant and still manage to look this good? I have zero excuse for my personal style. which is “hobo” by the way. Or sometimes “target clearance rack meets didn’t feel like changing out of my pajamas.”
Love your shoes.
Natalie
February 6, 2009 at 6:25 pmI’m sorry you’re uncomfortable…but you do look adorably present AND you match that lovely wallpaper! :)
Natalie
February 6, 2009 at 6:27 pmhaha I said present for some reason, but I clearly meant pregnant!

February 6, 2009 at 6:55 pmHang in there! You look lovely!
Alex
February 6, 2009 at 9:59 pmYou look amazing! Loving that dress too. What kind of birth are you planning/hoping for? How exciting that you will be meeting your little one in 10 or so weeks!!
Kelly@Color Sizzle
February 7, 2009 at 3:39 pmYou look better than I did when I was 30 weeks pregnant (and I was pregnant with twins)! Hang in there. The best is yet to come!
Kim
February 7, 2009 at 3:46 pmCongratulations…you look marvelous! You will feel better soon. I love your wallpaper and your dress!
audrey
February 8, 2009 at 7:33 amYou look adorable! I definitely remember the discomfort of my ribs continuously being pushed. The maternity body pillow from target was my luxury item those days.
danielle
February 8, 2009 at 3:01 pmand you still look adorable!

February 8, 2009 at 3:56 pmCan you tell me the name/brand of the paint color you used in the living room? thanks!

February 9, 2009 at 10:32 amfirst of all, you are ouper cute pregnant.
secondly, i have those shoes and love them so much. i’ve worn them completely out but can’t part with them!
Katie
February 9, 2009 at 6:17 pmI enjoy your blog and your style, but what I like most about you is that you began “showing” as much and as early as I have. I was beginning to develope a complex about being the only pregnant lady who showed so much right away. Please keep the pics coming at least for another 7 weeks until I have my little girl ;)
Thanks!

February 10, 2009 at 2:59 amOK – I DON’T want children of my own, I just yearn to babysit but … if somebody has to bear children, I am glad it is somebody with talent and taste like you ;)

February 10, 2009 at 7:34 amI just found your blog- it looks awesome- and so do you! Congrats!
Barbara
February 10, 2009 at 3:25 pmYou look great, but I (never been pregnant so far) can imagine that the additional weight is a bit uncomfortable. Think about the happiness you will feal when the baby is there.

February 11, 2009 at 8:21 pmTo me being pregnant was a means to an end…and it is the most wonderful “end”….hang in there, it will all be forgotten soon when you hold that little one. Blessings to you….I love your decorating….your library is cute!
melissa
February 12, 2009 at 8:48 pmWHERE ARE YOUR SHOES FROM? They are a must-have.
Leslie
February 14, 2009 at 9:36 pmHi, I just found your blog and am in love with it and am also very very pregnant. Like in my 39th month, so finding your blog is great. But you look great and your home decor is gorgeous.
I have fallen in love with that wallpaper I must admit. Where did you get it?
