Reaching maximum capacity and a Cutie Patootie

Allie's belly at 38 weeks is truly a site to behold. Best described as large and EXTREMELY pointed, it is a sight that frequently draws stares. The picture really doesn't do it justice, as it must be seen dimensionally in order to fully appreciate the shape. To me, it strongly resembles the bough of a ship. Most times when we're out, she is asked by more than one person how many babies she is having. That's how large it is. I exaggerate not! This is either a very big baby, or there is a hidden and undetected twin lurking somewhere in the depths. We find ourselves speculating about it all of the time. Unbelievably, with two weeks left to go, it will continue to grow. Her navel has turned completely inside out and protrudes in a bizarre manner. It really is crazy. To help take some of the stress off her back, which is becoming a problem, we have found a belly band. It works!


Today she is in town with Tamia to house hunt. They'd like to get out of Birmingham and be closer to us. I'm trying not to get my hopes up yet. So, we've looked at a few places. One or two are possibilities, but time will tell. How cute is Tamia?!?!? She was such a good sport during the house hunting.
