I’m going to go ahead and continue posting these photos 2 weeks behind schedule(I’ll be 36 weeks on Saturday), that way when Eliot is born, I’ll have plenty of time to recover before introducing him:) It reflects the way I feel right now…a little behind, in almost everything!
New developments in pregnancy include the mask (which because of my natural freckles ends up just looking like a little tan), continual lower back pain (which is being helped somewhat by my mini-cradle support belt), post-meal heartburn (nothing zantac and tums can’t handle) and shankles (what more can I say about that?). A few days ago, about 1:00 am, I woke up to use the bathroom, yet again, and thought to myself as I waddled back to bed, “I am uncomfortable all of the time.” And, I guess I am, though sitting on the couch for long periods of time and sipping frozen beverages (like this one sans strawberry syrup…) seems to give me a temporary sense of feeling okay, if not good.
I am overwhelmed more by the completion of pre-arrival projects than the arrival itself, which is probably very silly and backwards. I do hope to get some real energy back someday after Eliot comes though…
So, almost there. And happy.

you look darling. i am getting so excited to meet him too! and i think for me the mask is a permanent treasure from ever being pregnant. just yesterday eric said to me "wow -you've been in the sun…!" and kindly left out the "where did you go skiing!?"
also, the curtains are ADORABLE!
This is so funny because I am 21 weeks pregnant and I found your blog via someone's post about this shirt on Pinterest. We just found out we are having a boy and the two names in the running are Milo and Elliott (different spelling, but still)! You look adorable – best wishes!
Meg, I love it! Congratulations on your pregnancy…and either way you go with names, you know I'll think you made a fantastic decision:)
