@madeline10l he is such a freaking wiggle worm! It's so hard to get him to sit still to take his picture!

@caseyandlizze Adorable! Can't believe our babies are 3 months though!
@Madeline10L I love both those pictures! I need to get a picture of my cousin and I with our babies, since we have one of our bellies. It's so cool to go through this journey with a family member.
@sgautschi I had to sneak that picture of them blowing bubbles because Grandpa hates getting his picture taken but they have such a sweet relationship I want to document it!
He is actually my step dad and we were never really close but now through his relationship with my daughter it has brought us closer together.

A day late here, but here I am at 13 weeks (we're a little behind on the sign because they keep upping my due date). I know it's still early but that bump wasn't there a few weeks ago! Not sure if the fact that I'm small (5') has anything to do with it or maybe it's just bloat... {{{shrug}}}
@wiggyslilsis - Me too! The state of my body has now become ridiculous. DH has been hardcore nesting because he thinks I'm not making it through the weekend. I'm hoping I can go another 6 days though because my dad is going to the UK on Sunday until the 8th. Also, that would put me only a few days short of full-term.
My OB's office is basically just waiting for me to call them at this point. We are ready to have Baby M here now.
That last little bit felt so long to me...so much waiting and feeling miserable! I can relate to the wanting to have baby like right now and wanting to wait a little longer! It is tough to feel both things at the same time for different reasons. And that is so sweet of your DH preparing/nesting!
