oh baby:: 40 weeks!!
Cannot believe I just typed "4-0" in the title up there. With our induction date scheduled for next Saturday, we have less than 9 days until we meet Si! We're praying that he decides to come on his own before then, and would love for you to join us in those prayers!
I've had pretty constant, irregular Braxton Hicks since last night and I'm really hoping they decide to turn into the real deal today.
Last week, I put together this collage of my bump photos and was hoping I wouldn't have to add a 40 week photo, but here we are! It's so fun to see how my belly has grown and looking back, I can't believe that I felt so huge in some of those earlier photos!
People keep asking me if I'm miserable and honestly, I'm not. I'm uncomfortable, itchy, hot and tired, but I just can't help being overwhelmingly excited and thankful. A year ago, I was yearning for a baby belly and wondering when my turn would be-- if ever. So no, I'm not miserable, just grateful to be so blessed and a bit flabbergasted that I'm going to be a mama in a week or so!
You are stunning. Look at that belly! I'm so excited for you two! I'll be saying a prayer for you guys that he comes ASAP. I'm pretty sure the blogging world is just as ready to meet him :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers, Julie! I have a feeling I'm a little more excited to meet my baby than the blogging world is -- but feel blessed to have so many friends awaiting his arrival! :)
Deletespeaking of blogging world -- i've been checking like every day of the last week! yesterday when looking at instagram i was like "i didn't see any of lindsay's pictures... yes! hope that means she is busy birthing that baby!"
DeleteSOON!!

ReplyDeletepraying for you. seriously.
xo
thank thank you, sweet girl! Hooopefully you get to meet Si in October! ;)
Deleteoh -- and thanks to that collage i now want to be pregnant again asap!
ReplyDeleteThat boy MUST BE in pike position! I love it!!!! I remember some of your early post and you saying how big you felt, and thinking how tiny you were! You've come a long way. Enjoy these next few days with Chris. He'll be here before you know it!!! Can't wait to 'meet' him! You're going to be a great mommy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look AMAZING at 40 weeks! Seeing all those pictures just reminds me of how stylish and great you have looked throughout the whole pregnancy. Definitely praying that little Silas makes it here before next Saturday!
ReplyDeleteim sure i have commented this before but you are so freaking cute! i hope i look that great in 13 weeks.
ReplyDeleteAdorable.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you! =)
Eep you look amazing lady! Can't wait to "meet" Silas!
ReplyDeleteAww so cute you are!! God does some pretty amazing things!! I'll be praying for you, Chris, and Si. I can't wait to see the little guy we've all been watching grow through this blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great attitude to have! I know how hard it is towards the end to stay positive. Can't wait for you to introduce that baby boy to the blogging world! Thinking of you all! -- Kendra
ReplyDeleteCan't believe there is another week either. Love your attitude! He'll be here soon. Very excited to meet the little guy.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he's almost here! Wow! The best is yet to come!
ReplyDeleteUm, are you sure there are triplets in there? Sextuplets? You are HUGE! But in a very, very beautiful way. Hope today is the day for you!!!
ReplyDeletelove baby bump pics! &&& you look stinkin' cute. :]
ReplyDeleteI love the collage of you rockin' your baby belly. You and Silas are looking great! Sending you labor vibes!
ReplyDeletei love it!! I wish like crazy I had you're clothes. getting rid of any?? :) Anyway praying that you're little baby comes quickly In Jesus name. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteJust curious, did you measure ahead during your pregnancy? You are lucky you are all bump! I think I'm getting bigger all over but I'm actually measuring a little behind! Waaah!
Love the baby bump collage! I always loved seeing how much my belly had grown. =)
ReplyDeleteI hope little Silas does decide to come soon!! If he doesn't, though, being induced isn't necessarily a bad thing. I dreaded being induced (mine was for medical reasons) and it wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. Either way, your little man will be here soon! =)
One of my babies was born the day before I was going to be induced, and the other early in the morning the day of. Hopefully he decides to make his appearance on his own for you. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and the attitude!
ReplyDeleteSo unreal. I love yoru belly. And your outlook. Thinking of you and the lovely bebe...
ReplyDeleteso gorgeous, you're sure that you're not carrying twins?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteBaby is going to arrive sune. can't wait. thinking of you, too!
So exciting! I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. I can't wait until you see Silas' face for the very first time. What a blessing is on his way. Looking forward to pictures!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you! Hope he decides to come into the world soon because we all can't wait to see him :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I'm SO excited for you!

ReplyDeletexo
You look so pretty in all your outfits Lindsay!! I hop to "meet" your little one extremely soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous. I love your positive perspective. It is just an exciting time. I still can vividly remember almost two years ago holding my little lady for the first time. I stayed up all night just so I could stare at her beautiful newborn face. You are gonna be a mama soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is so precious to look at. I can't believe it's over... THANK YOU lindsay for including us in your journey the last 9 months!
ReplyDeleteAnd now for baby updates! Which will be just as good as bump updates. :)
i always hoped i wouldn't make it to the 4-0 with my bump pics also. absolutely love the collage! the colors are wonderful and you are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just found you! And can't help it but tell you what a sweet post this is!
ReplyDeleteLoved to see your bump's journey through that collage.
Thank you for your honesty and your perspective.
As someone who's been TTC for a while, it's good to read your words and dream that (hopefully) soon it'll be my turn.
Your blog is just adorable! I'm 33 weeks and I have been dying to make a comparison collage kind of like the one you have done. What did you use to make it? Because I'm completely lost on that part lol
ReplyDeleteHi! Just re-read these comments and found your comment! I use PicMonkey to edit my pictures and used it to make this collage. :)
