Whoa! Belly Time!

Pregnancy is just the most amazing body transformation ever - such a miracle. I look in the mirror each night and just marvel that a little human life is growing in there and making so many changes to my belly. She moves all the time, which is constant reassurance for a first time mom-to-be. Even little feet and hands seem to be poking out at times and swooping across the belly - so incredible. But even with that - we are ready to have Baby Leighton here. 17 days from today...and yes, we're counting down! So far - 60% effaced, cervix closed - she plans to come on her own terms.

Here's the comparison growth (notice the fading tan too!)

Chan - it is hard to believe something like a baby can fit in there!!! Then when they push a fist or foot out - you think Yikes!!! You look great but I'm sure you are getting very excited. Thanks for keeping up your blog! It's great fun to see the changes! Take care, love and miss you! Kathy Logelin

Thanks for keeping track of us thru the blog - it's exciting to me that people actually DO read and keep up-to-date on it. So close to arrival now....can't wait

Hi Chantelle, Brian and I are about to go on our 10 year anniversary cruise but I wanted to check in to see if Leighton arrived. I bet you and Jon can't wait! We are so excited for you and when we return on 12/8 I hope we can meet her!
Love, Trish
