37 weeks, Canon Digital Rebel XTi

We're getting close over here... As most of you know from my newsletter, I'll be going on maternity leave in the next couple of weeks. (or sooner?) Get your orders in by November 30th to ensure holiday delivery! The Superhero Jewels may not be available again until spring.

I'll leave you with some of my favorite new superhero pics... (I love it when you guys send me these)

ok. like I'm a crazed grandmotherly type. checking in regularly for any "news".

Posted by: Leslie at December 6, 2006 03:54 PM

Congrats on the little one on the way.

If you haven't already, you should take your own superhero picture...one of you wearing your jewelry while you're pregnant. Because really, moms are the original superheroes. I know my mom was mine.

Best of luck in the weeks to come as you welcome someone new to the world! :-)

Posted by: Christine at November 27, 2006 10:36 AM

a,

I need to change my address so that I get your newsletter @ my new email address, not the old one.

I love this photo of you. I can't stop looking at how beautiful you are. I think this pregnacy has brought you a new deeper peace because you look completly content which is so wonderful to see in you. I couln't possibly be happier for you and Matt. I can't wait to meet the little guy when he arrives.

XOXO

Posted by: Laura at November 26, 2006 10:23 AM

Oh Andrea! We wish you the very best in the upcoming weeks. And once the babt gets here, please take the advice of moms everywhere, "sleep when the baby sleeps" even if the dishes need to be done and the laundry needs to be folded. That will wait. Save your sanity girlfriend! Sleep.

Wishing you guys the best on this new adventure!

Posted by: chronicler at November 26, 2006 09:20 AM

Oh, marvelous...best wishes to your soon-to-be family of THREE!

Hope it all goes well and your little boy gets here soon and well!
By the way, his name is????!

I wanted to comment about the birthing and over-information. I was informed but also go-with-the-flow...but unexpectedly ended up with a c-section. The doctors were great...it was just how it ended up. I cried and it took a while to get over the shock of having a c-section as I imagined the moment of pushing her out.

I felt as if I missed something.

But now, with my chubby healthy daughter of almost 5 months, I can share that in the end, having your beautiful baby healthy in your arms is what counts. So keep that in mind whatever happens. Having your baby grow before your eyes is the real trip.

Posted by: mie at November 25, 2006 09:37 PM

You look lovely -
I am right behind you at 30 weeks.
I can't wait to see the little Superhero.
Blessings to you & your little one.

Posted by: Tiff at November 25, 2006 08:12 PM

You look beautiful!! I just had my baby on Thanksgiving morning. Have a wonderful maternity leave, enjoy these last few weeks, I'm excited for you!

Posted by: Heather at November 25, 2006 02:01 PM

37 weeks already, OMG!! Rest, rest, rest - take it as easy as you can now as you are going to need all your energy very soon. Enjoy these last few weeks of being pregnant with all the movements (you know, little feet stuck in your ribs)! I am so excited for you as I know what you are about to experience - you will feel so tired, so overwhelmed, so happy and so in love all at once. I look at my little boy and wonder how I got to be so lucky and does every new mum feel like this? So madly in love with my precious little one. Oh, the amazing times ahead for you.

Sending hugs and wishes for a very short labour!!

Michelle

Posted by: michelle at November 25, 2006 01:09 PM

Wow. Where does the time go? How can you be 37 weeks already??!! Best of luck. Pregnancy suits you so well. You carry it so well!

Posted by: laura at November 25, 2006 12:46 PM

PS
I would love to join your newsletter if possible?

Posted by: Holly at November 25, 2006 07:37 AM

You are BEAUTIFUL!

Don't forget to pamper yourself these last few days. Get a foot massage, a full body massage, find a body of water to float in and let that feeling of weightlessness take pressure off your back, eat good food and celebrate being hungry! During my last days it wasn't uncommon to find me stretched out on the living room sofa with nothing on but the television tuned to something light and entertaining! (Never felt the urge to do that since, but have learned I wasn't the first very pregnant mom to do so!) In other words, if it makes you comfortable and happy, do it!

Can't wait to see what the colors in the Mom 2007 necklace will be. They are bound to be spectacular and worth the wait!

Posted by: Nina at November 25, 2006 06:36 AM

How incredible.

Posted by: Rebecca. at November 25, 2006 03:14 AM

Andrea, you are so beautiful in this picture. sending big gentle nurturing hugs to you and your bambino xo

Posted by: susannah at November 25, 2006 02:47 AM

I have been waiting sooo patiently (sorta) for the new belly pics, and it has finally paid off (because i was beginning to get not so patient). I'm so excited for you guys. You look so absolutely beautiful! So much love I'm sending your way. Beautiful, I tell you. Gorgeous even! I hope your break from "worky" type stuff is splendid and that you get to savor all those precious moments that are (and will be) occurring constantly around you.

Posted by: Katie at November 25, 2006 02:06 AM

So beautiful. Perfect. A perfect belly. A perfect mom. Much love.

Posted by: Shelley Noble at November 24, 2006 11:43 PM

You're in the home stretch. Sweeeeeet!

Posted by: tracey at November 24, 2006 10:20 PM

Wow, Andrea...
The sight of your amazingly perfect and gorgeous motherhood brought tears to my eyes as you popped up on my little computer screen.

I am so excited for you. These last few days of your first pregnancy are ones to be savored... although difficult to realize that now. Birthing is an intense experience - the MOST intense and life altering. (I loved it.) Embrace it for what it is, however it goes... go with the flow. Its easier said than done, but those are the wisest words I have to offer. Soak it all in as much as you possibly can.

I am anxious to witness, from my little seat here across the internet, the changes that you will be going through with your Little One. Life is so good and weird and crazy and beautiful.

Namaste... and I mean that sincerely.

Posted by: Jen D at November 24, 2006 10:12 PM

i can't believe you are 37 weeks already! you look beautiful...beyond beautiful! take it easy. can't wait to meet him...

Posted by: Teri at November 24, 2006 09:57 PM

Posted by: Regina Clare Jane at November 24, 2006 02:15 PM

You look stunning -- exactly like you're supposed to look.

I'm toying with buying another superhero necklace ... I dunno, though... would four superhero necklaces be too many??
