I can't believe you're almost full term! Seems like it's flown by...
And how was your maternity shoot? Can't wait to see some photos! 
Re: ***HulaLove***
I can barely believe it myself!
Our mat shoot that was originally scheduled for last Saturday was rescheduled for today. My photographer's daughter had H1N1 and she didn't want to chance spreading it. Her daughter is doing good now, it was a very mild case.
So our photographer is coming over at 1pm today to shoot at our house! I'm so very excited. I'll definitley share them when I get them back. We're doing a picture on our bed with Jackson (our dog) like Jaime did!
I was hoping my belly button would pop out before the shoot, but no such luck. It's flatter but it's still in.
How are you feeling? You're in third tri now - woo hoo!!! How long are you planning to work for?

Haha...you want your belly button to pop out? I'm hoping mine doesn't! So far so good. And my belly seems to be on track with yours, sizewise. Although, yours is a lot cuter and rounder than mine! I don't know if we'd be able to do the dog photo. I doubt Ellie would cooperate. But that's so cute! Can't wait to see.
I'm pretty exhausted - having to take naps every day. Guess that's a third tri thing? Or maybe because I haven't been getting enough sleep at night. I guess I'm going to work as close to my due date as possible to get the max time after baby arrives. I'm SOOOOO mega jealous that you get a year. Maybe I should move to Canada. Haha.
Jackson = Gong Show!!! I'm not sure any of the pics with him will turn out. But I think we got a bunch or other really cute ones! Our photog doesn't think we'll get them back until after the baby is here so I won't be able to share them for awhile.
I haven't done any bump pics lately because I feel like my face has taken on the roundness of my belly! I'll have to suck it up and get one this weekend to post of fb.
You're belly looks adorable in all your pics! I love it! It looks very round.
I saved my vacation to go early. I'm feeling very grateful they let me do that. My mat leave will start when the babe comes. You should definitely think of moving to Canada!!! hee hee! How long will your leave be?
Some days I'm exhausted too. It's usually before my tummy gets bigger, so maybe it's associated with the baby growing? Do you notice anything like that?

Maybe it is a growth thing. Or just a result of having a houseguest who was getting on my last nerve all week! I kind of had a mini meltdown today from frustration. But I did some cardio and I feel a little better.
So far your face hasn't looked at all like you've even gained weight. I know mine is starting to, though.
And my arms...yuck. We rescheduled our photos for 34 weeks since a couple weeks ago I felt like I still didn't look that pregnant. I definitely do now and I just hope my face doesn't blow up by 34 weeks!
Did you guys finalize name choices? Elyse if it's a girl? I really like it, fwiw. Because my cousin Elyse is awesome.
Ugh - it could definitely be stress! No houseguests at the pregnant ladies house!
I just noticed my face a couple days ago. It will all go away in a few months though! I was worried about not looking pregnant enough at 34 weeks too, so we re-booked for 36. The photographer had me push out my tummy for the shots where I'm laying on my back (because everything sinks back). It was a good ab workout!
We haven't really been talking about names lately. We do both still like Elyse and Claire for a girl and Owen for a boy. We both want to meet him or her first. Have you guys thought about names?

If you didn't look pregnant enough at 34 weeks and you had to push out your belly at 36 weeks, WOW. Haha. I hope I'm that way, too! From what I've read, there isn't that much growth after 36 weeks, belly-wise. Baby will get bigger but then some of the amniotic fluid is reabsorbed so your belly won't really get much bigger. You're in the home stretch! So exciting!
We have a name picked, but still working on the middle name. B wants to keep the name a secret until she's born, though. (But I had already told some people before he told me that so a few people already know.) For some reason I think you're having a boy. It's weird because I totally didn't have any feelings like that about my own baby (even though I was really hoping for a girl!).
