So at our last doctor's appointment, Dr. Yamamoto said we are on the "launching pad" now, and all we have to do is wait. I asked Dr. what exactly it is I am waiting for, and he said: "For the pain." How pleasant. Well so far, I've escaped the pain. People are so nice to call to check on me and ask how I am doing, and my response is always the same: I feel good, almost like I am not even pregnant. I've had several mothers tell me I have to start feeling a lot worse before the baby can come out of me. So we're waiting....! It's funny to be getting to the point where I am actually hoping to feel pain! There's something weird about that. We do manage to stay pretty busy with all the baby preparations. We've done a little nesting, taken some funny pregnant pictures, and made a lot of time for laziness while we still can. So waiting isn't so bad, and as they say, good things come to those who wait...

I guess most women get uncomfortable before the end, but I didn't. I felt like you do the day before I had both my kids. So maybe you won't feel pain until you actually go into labor. I think it's nice to feel good for so long. Stay busy, it's the only thing you can do while you are "waiting...".I like the belly pictures-you don't look like you have stretch marks!
You're lucky you don't even feel like you're pregnant! I feel like I'm walking around with a bowling ball trying to come out of me! I've had some of the painful contractions, and they're sure not fun. Enjoy the painlessness while you can cause when he decides to come I'm willing to bet you won't be smiling no more :) hehe. I love the pictures of your belly!
