33.5 Weeks Along - To Post a Belly Photo or to Not Post a Belly Photo...That IS the Question

I got kinda brave and set the camera up and put it on it's timer and took some belly-shots. And they kinda came out a lot better than I thought. Ok so I draped certain bits and parts so you don't get so much "zilla" out of the "bellyzilla" equation, just more belly. But I'm still on the fence about posting.

Hmmm, will have to think quite a bit more on this before committing myself either way. My belly is about as personal as it gets! And I'm not real happy showing off just how ginormous I am anyhow. Tis a touchy issue with me.

Nothing much else going on really. Getting ready for our first big snow storm of the year, which is supposed to arrive early tomorrow morning. And guess who doesn't go and get her snow tires, the studded kind, installed until Monday? Yep, yours truly. Timing has never been my strong suit.

And I've not seen hide nor hair of Beaches since returning last night. Perhaps she doesn't get out much in the winter. Or maybe she's just taking her own sweet time....I would totally understand if she thinks I abandoned her, being gone the almost 2 weeks I was.

Other than that, I'm just sitting here waiting out these next 5 or 6 weeks till Gidget makes her arrival. I keep telling myself to get my hospital bags ready and make sure we have all these last little bits and pieces in place before the chubby-cheeked one gets here. Gareth keeps asking me if I'm sure I have it all together. Well, of course I don't!

I just can't believe how fast it's gone. These past 8 months and now we're in the home stretch and before I know it, this wonderful, beautiful little darling will be given to us to love and cherish and raise. Still though, I remember, back on Fathers Day, reading the results in the little digital EPT test letting me know I was pregnant. Gareth and I were so elated. We had concerns, especially after the abruption and loss last year, but we were (and still ARE) excited none the less. And I remember thinking how long 9 months seemed and how it was going to draaaaaaaaaaaag by. And it's been just the opposite. It's flown by! And now I feel like I don't have enough time to get everything in perfect order and prepare myself for all this.

But then when is anyone ever prepared for a major life event like this? And it seems to me, the more you prepare for something like this, the more curve-balls you're thrown. Such is life I guess.

I do think though, seeing as how tomorrow we're going to be pretty socked-in with all the snow, that I will FINALLY get the breadmaker out, take it out of it's box and put it to good use.

And for those of you missing my "rants".....don't worry. Won't be too much longer. There's a lot that's been bottled up and once I am sufficiently recovered from the drive back from the NY area, I'll let 'er blow!

You've been warned! *lol*
