Thanks for posting the pics! I find it so amazing watching baby as it grows inside the belly! When my cousin was pregnant I use to love checking every couple of weeks to see the difference! I love looking at the kitties in the backround too! It's almost like they know what all going on!

You look great! Wow, you and Ashley are due a day apart, and she's soooo much smaller than you are (no wonder everyone's eyes bug out when she says she's 7 months along - compared to everyone else, she's positively tiny!)

Do people stop and ask you how far along you are? EVERYWHERE we go, people ask Ash, and everyone tells us its a boy. How about you? Similar experiences with strangers on the street?

You look great, Sara!

T & J are adorable too. That silly Jupiter reminds me of a certain silly orangie in my house.

PS - I like the brown hair instead of the blonde. When did you do that?

Those pics are adorable! We love the cute belly shots and the cute kitties!

I went brown ... about a year ago.. I looooove it sooo much better than the blonde hair.... Sorry it looks so greasy and yucky in those pictures..

Being a little nervous the first time around is completely normal. Your life is about to change forever and it will be the most wonderful change yet. I think back to the births of my own two and the joy they have brought me over the years. You are going to be a wonderful mommy and that little guy is going to steal your heart from you the instant he appears. I'll keep you in my prayers for a nice easy delivery.

Thanks so much Pam. I really can't imagine what to expect. It is going to be such a weird experience meeting him for the first time. You go through your life meeting so many different people and this is the one person I'll meet that will be my own... aghghgghghgh im just soooo nervous!!!

I second SP's comments on the schedules. I have deviated from Jonah's nap/sleep schedule less than 5 times in 19 months. Now, while that might be a bit overboard to some- as a single, working mommy it is a HUGE blessing. Sure, I miss out on some activities that happen during the naptime, or, we don't do much in the evenings as bedtime routines start AT 715, it is well worth it to have a 99% happy, not overly tired child all the time.

I read somewhere that sleeping is JUST as important as eating, exercising, etc., but, so many parents just shuffle their exhausted children to all these events without thought. You wouldn't let your child eat junk as a meal every third day, so, why let him/her go without quality restful sleep every 3rd day?

I did use a playpen regularly as a safety zone. I could take the trash to the curb, take a shower, switch the laundry, etc., without fear. By 15 months, Jonah was 'done' with playpens- but, I know other people that used them much longer. I had the old-fashioned square playpen, not the pack 'n play. They are too small, IMO. Plus, the netting isn't very sight friendly.

I absolutely swear by the cat tent that covers Jones crib- huge piece of mind with a million cats. Now? Thankfully it is in place, as Jonah is the type to climb right out. BUT, I suggest using it really early on, so that the baby develops a sense of 'normal' with it..and won't freak out at 12 months when you try to zipper him in at night. Also, the zipper is kind of loud, too.

Jonah slept ON me for 4 weeks, next to me, in my bed for 4 weeks, in a bassinet, next to my bed for a few weeks, and went into his crib shortly after. NEVER had a problem with any of it. Never. I nursed him to sleep every single night (and nap time), and at one year- he simply gave up the naptime nurse, and never fussed. Even still, at 19 months, it doesn't matter if he is wide awake, or half asleep, he goes to bed without issues 99% of the time. So, if you nurse, don't listen to people that basically tell you to wake the child up before you lay him down. Which I find kind of odd- how relaxing to fall asleep at the breast, then be awoken again, and placed in a cold bed. Oh, that reminds me, I used a heating pad in Jones crib, bassinet all through the winter months- turning it on before I nursed him, then turning it off and removing it, before I placed him in bed. That way he was snuggly.

Sara, you will be a great mommy! I am so excited for you.

You have the cutest pregnant belly/body! I hope I look that good when I'm pregnant.
