right before...

when taking these photos between 8:15 and 8:30pm on june 14, i had no idea that i would be counting time between contractions by 10. i wasn't "due" for 12 days, whatever that means. i mean, i was "to term," but not "due" for two more weeks. explain that to me. anyway, i wanted the baby early, like the 23rd, so i was not expecting to go into labor for at least a week. so when we realized what was happening, i kinda freaked out. well, i mean, i had to stop myself from hyperventilating and i did get really choked up when we decided to go to the hospital. i guess because i knew that when i came back, everything would be different.

hell, you know what? i was probably in early labor in these pictures. i mean, i tried to take a bath, and i was SO uncomfortable--i couldn't sit down in the tub. i'm sure i was in very early labor. but....The Voice started at 9:00, and i think adam levine just pushed me over the edge. whew. whoa. breathe. anyway, here are the last photos of me pregnant.
