Good job!

dear Andrea you look tremendous! huge good luck with the next bit of your journey. I hope you have lots of happy time getting to know your new baby. Rosiex

You are carrying so beautifully. Motherhood suits you!

Take a deep breath and revel in the peace that you have at this moment - and then remember to revel in the "chaos" that is about to come - and take a deep breath then too. :)

You look so beautiful. Every time I see these pregnant photos of you, my heart explodes with the awe and wonder of life.

May your birth be a crowning moment in your life (heh..pun intended). May your little one come into this world feeling as loved as it is. I send sparkling, showering blessings of magic, power, love and peace to you, Matt and the baby.

Perfectly beautiful you. WOn't be long now until you deliver your *bouncing* baby boy! Yay.

I sang your praises on my Minti blog today. : )

Breathtakingly Beautiful, Sweet, Gorgeous and Radiant all at the same time. Congratulations again, and here's wishing it all goes smoothly for the big delivery day! So happy for the both of you,

Cheers Toni

Okay the belly grew since last Monday, quite a bit I think!

Beautiful. Beautiful Beautiful.

hi andrea,

i am a good friend of caroline's and have met and emailed you before. i use to live in sf and then i moved to france...maybe you remember! i have 2 baby boys...

anyway, i want to wish you all the BEST! i watched your journey unfold and i am so happy for you and matt.
you two went through a lot and now, your precious little gift is arriving, and O what a gift. nothing compares to the joy of holding your little guy and bestowing kisses on that sweet little face, their smell and everything about them is miraculous!

you look beautiful~
remember...no matter how difficult it may be, breastfeed and sleep when you can.

love to you,
michele

Hope yours is on the 15th! cause Sagitarrians ROck! And my birthday is on the 15th too!!!!! Great link to the tees! And you look gorgous!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOu look gorgeous! and seeing photos of your lush belly makes me miss that beautiful closeness (hugs from my 18mth old are special but differnt) and though the symbiotic nature of the mother child relationship doesn't change heaps you are experiencing somethjng so special with your child now that you can nver experince again.

also wondering will you be coaching post -baby and do you ever take on OS clients to coach...?

Time has flown by! I feel like I just read that you're expecting...and here you are so close to your due date (and me in my 2nd trimester now)! It has been inspiring to read along with you through wanting a child and being pregnant. I'll miss your words and photographs.

Enjoy your maternity leave and everything that comes with it. I want to order a necklace after we find out what we're having. It's either going to be "blue freeze" or "passion"...or maybe "joy" either way. We've got names picked out, but I just couldn't decide on my necklace before tomorrow. :) You'll be back before May, right? Big hugs to you!

I have been reading your blog waaaaay before your pregnancy started...my how time flies!! My sister had her first baby a year ago on December 4th...exactly on her due date. I was home for four days surrounding her due date, crossing my fingers that something would happen during that short time...and it did! I was present for every moment of the delivery which was such an amazing experience. We went through all the natural ways (or wives tales) to induce the labor (pineapple, spicy Indian food, a good long walk, yoga, raspberry leaf tea)...something seemed to do the trick! Just know that you have lots of people who are VERY excited for you!

Wow, it has been fun watching you and your little one grow. It's amazing how fast it happens. I am wishing you a lot of strength (and patience) as the big day approaches.

I love your beach ball picture but actually I thought you looked more like a giant boob! Your pregnant booby-belly makes me laugh. Blessings to you.

oh my goodnes (((andrea)))) you are the cutest pregnant women ever!
By the way...How are you full term when it feels just a few months ago you found out your were with child???
my immediate response to reading this post was "she will go till the 15th!"
Oh do enjoy these last few weeks of baby in the womb.
Love * Prayers for a wonderful blessed labor and delivery.
Namaste,

Your post reminded me that I should order my superhero necklace very soon, so I did. I picked one that I had been admiring for months - a beautiful dream of a necklace - blissful blues, tantilizing turquoise, calming greens and joy!

I'm a professional yoga teacher and for the past two years I've struggled financially with my small business. This past year was one of my best and my superhero necklace is a gift to myself and a shoutout of thanks to the universe.

Abundant blessings to you and your newly expanded family! I know I'll treasure my necklace.

Namaste - Kai

oh my!

it could be soon. how exciting and surreal.

love your gorgeous beach~ball belly.
you are all bellie girl and tiny everywhere else.
your body loves being pregnant.

spread that mojo my way.

ps. wanna kiss your belly button. *grin*

WOWWEEEE! You look so CUTE. Can't wait to see the baby on here....SOOOOON! :->

I'll say again: you look so beautiful!!!! and I am so excited for you. Dec 13 is my birthday...it's a good birthday! We'll see you in your own sweet time, little superhero!

YAAAAY! You're in the home stretch now! I have been trying to send good vibes your way through the whole pregnancy and now you've made it to full-term status. AWESOME! I agree that the baby will decide when it's ready to come - I was 10 days late. My poor mother looked like she was hiding about 3 beachballs under her shirt! Everything went smoothly though and all that matters is that the baby arrives! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see pictures of your little man! By the way, this may seem like an odd question but have you been playing music for him, or do you plan to at his birth? I only ask because when I fantasize about being pregnant and/or giving birth, I always try to imagine what the first song would be that I would want the baby to hear, either in utero or at its birth. Just wondering if you were thinking those thoughts as well.

In the vein of woman to woman chat that has taken place for centurys, I will say - it dosen't looke like the baby as dropped yet, so you'll probably hang in for awhile :)
You look awsome, and you must be SO EXCITED!! Ah! I just got back from much time spent with small cousins in England, which was so amazing... so the idea of a budding family seems extra exciting to me right now :)

bless you all.......it was a year ago at this time that we here were anxiously awaiting the birth day of our little girl....and we think back to it and just smile and smile at what an absolutely AMAZING time that was....enjoy it!!!!!!
good luck baby and mommy!

Here he comes!!!!! Congrats!!! You have a beautiful belly! I reflect fondly on all the times people told me I was 13 months pregnant - I know it sounds goofy - but just knowing and loving that baby and feeling it grow and grow and grow - that is feeling whole. That is life and love in its complete sense. I wish I could do it again. You are going to be awe struck (literally) at the moment of his birth! Happiness to all of you!

love, rochelle

I cannot believe how time flies! I feel like you just told us you were pregnant!!!! You look fantastic, though, and I hope you're feeling well. I'll be thinking about you as you go through the next few weeks. Love from Nashville!

Woohooo! You look so great with that beach ball under your tee shirt! Who knew they hid such great secrets as babies? ;-)

I'm off to week #2 of Leadership on the 4th and will hope to hear great things upon my return...namely, baby boy things. Sending you all the peaceful, strong, courageous, deep-knowing wishes I can muster, my jewelry-making, baby-making, coaching, west-coast friend!

Laura :-)

peace

blessings

calm breaths in and out

you are on the cusp of something so incredibly amazing- i feel so excited and inspired by your journey! sending you all my doula vibes, cross country.

You look Fabulous Andrea!! Woohoo!

Andrea, I'm wishing you all the best from the other side of the ocean (Finland). You really do look gorgeous!
I gave birth to my first child, a boy, ten weeks ago. I was quite afraid of the delivery around the middle of the pregnancy but it helped me a lot when I read somewhere that the pain is meant to be a sign for us to go to a safe place and get help. You're not even supposed to survive it on your own. Trusting the professionals and my husband and not even trying to be in control of the situation was my way through it. You can also trust your body, we're made for giving birth! I'm wishing you a safe and smooth delivery. Can't wait to hear the news!

oh, grrl, i'm so excited for you.
you're glowing.
i hope my husband ordered my necklace already!!

hugs to you....that would be A-frame hugs.

Andrea, you look great. My due date last year was December 14th. My baby came on the 11th.

Gosh you look beautiful and ready to be a mommy. I want to wish you all the best and luck to bring your baby into this world.

Sophie

Andrea,
ILOVEYOU!
thinking of you dear one.xoab

AWESOME! I feel blessed just looking at your picture. I was wondering--does your pregnancy ever feel like a dream to you? Can you believe it??

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really can't believe how excited I am for you! Babies are the best! You look so stinking cute, too! Hurrah!

You're going to be a mama so soon! I can't wait to hear more!

And aren't you so excited about Ann's company? Having just seen The Secret, I am all about getting one of those tees. So nice of you to put in a plug!

You look so beautiful! Who cares when they say the baby is due, the baby is DUE when the baby decides it is DUE!

I love your belly. You never can tell, my little one(born 5 days ago) was born a week early, but my other 2 were born a week late.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I love these last two post pics of you BEAUTIFUL belly. Much love and peace to you - this is so exciting!

Sending happy thoughts your way. . . ! Congrats on your growing family and the new babe.

My sister was born on the 15th of December! Warning- she was a hell-raiser! I think it had something to do with being born so close to Christmas.
I am sure the little fellow will be an angel dear-I mean, how could he not be with a mommy like you!

If you're ready, I hope he comes soon! :)

Just had to say - I was due with my second girl last December 15th. She arrived the morning of the 12th (after 10 hours in the hospital and my nurse refusing to believe I was in labor I almost delivered her myself when luckily the nurses had a shift change). Anyway, enjoy every moment - even the wait - as I know you will. I would recommend the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth - if only for his information on how many naps babies need and at what ages. I had no idea how much they sleep until I read this book with my first in 2003. I should mention, your jewelry inspired me to start creating my own this past July. I have loved every minute of it! Thank you - you look wonderful - and good luck!

I was two weeks early!!!

It has begun!

Awesome tum. Try not to get too wrapped up in when, and just go with the flow. 37 weeks is good. 38 weeks is better. Bigger babies tend to sleep better and you don't know sleep deprivation until you have had a newborn.

Everyone always says you will know when you are in labor, but it took me about an hour to figure it out. I thought I was just having "tummy troubles" from a spicy meal I had eaten. Then I realized that the pain was every two or three minutes and I felt great in between.

Will your lovely and wonderful husband be letting us know when your sweetie arrives? We want to know that he's here and that you are both okay!

Andrea, I am in awe of the fantastic shape of your body! You clearly, as others have stated, are carrying only baby weight. Look at how slim and fit you look everywhere but the belly! I smile when I think of the progression of this pregnancy--from those first weeks of hope and surprise to this current state of "full bloom." My mom, who is a real saint, is born on December 10th--so I'll pull for that date--but whenever he decides to arrive, Saggitarians are fantastic people!

The tshirts are way cool, but unfortunately since the women's only come in a size L (due to the form fittingness and the fact that you have to order a size larger than you normally wear ...) my bodacious 3x frame won't be getting one.

Sorry ... is a giant pet peeve of mine that not everyone caters to the 40% of the population who are bigger than a size 'large'.

You look very beautiful!

that's one impressive belly!

is it my imagination or is your wee boy riding a bit lower?

xoxo

It's not...the same thing happened to me OVER AND OVER again....just chill out or it will REALLY seem like forever when you don't deliver until Jan. 1st. Are you having a boy?

Andrea,Keep movin! you look beautiful. So happy for you and Matt.

Scottie came at 38 weeks also so you better get ready! You look great; you are all baby and I pray that you have a smooth delivery! I'm sending CONGRATS now!

My birthday is also the 15th - but for your sake, I hope the bambino comes a little early! You look bloomingly beautiful, that belly is tremendous! Our bodies are such magnificent creations...

that belly is fantastic!

Hey, December 15th is my birthday - it's an excellent day to be born!

I've got my fingers crossed for a safe delivery for you.

You look wonderful! :-) As folks like to say, that's allll baby! My son was induced on his actual due date (hypertension issues), so I have no idea when he'd have been born if we'd waited for things to happen on their own. May your delivery happen with grace and ease! :-)

A,
Both of mine came at 38 weeks. Good to be prepared... but it will all come together even if you don't have everything done that you had planned when labor begins.

Where are you birthing?

Mmmmmmm, I am sending the greatest, most enveloping hug out there to you guys!!!!! So excited for any and all news whenever it may come!

You look breathtakingly gorgeous. Do you love it? How's your body feeling?

I was just wondering if he had come already! I think we're all on the edge of our seats here.

Can you believe it's really happening?

You look beautiful! My son came at 37 weeks - you should go on the assumption that baby's coming tomorrow...because he could be.
