A photo journal of my belly/thoughts

I have to do what in a couple of weeks? Ummmmm, I'm not sure about this any more!
Ok, well maybe I'm ready. Holding a baby right now would be much more fun than just holding my belly.

I'm sure Blair would rather be kissing our little girl right now, rather than my belly too.
We don't even know her, but we love her already.


It all started with a kiss.......
.......and four 1/2 years of learning to laugh at each other. When your giant beer belly is hanging out of a wife-beater, there's not much else to do, but laugh with each other. Blair is hoping that we never have to laugh at his.


Thank you Chet and Kat Hervey for the beautiful photos!
You are a blessing to our family.

belly pics



Well for those of you wondering how big the belly is now, here are some of the professional belly pictures Chet and Ket Hervey took the other night for us, so I can forever remember how much my belly can stretch without exploding!

Thanksgiving Christmas


Everyone can't wait to meet little Avila! What are the people in the hospital waiting room going to think. At least they will know who everyone is! I didn't think I would need a t-shirt to explain who I am - it will be a little obvious. I'll be the one pushing.

Sea World at 36 weeks

The Hervey and Edwards 1st annual winter Sea World trip was a success. The only disappointment was that I didn't start having contractions on the way home. That would have made it the BEST trip to Sea World ever. But Avila decided to keep cooking and fattening up for her arrival.

It's not that I'm miserable or even uncomfortable...amazingly I still don't feel that pregnant unless I'm having a little Braxston Hicks here and there. It's just that now that we have all this beautiful stuff I'm just ready to get this show on the road! I just want to meet her and hold her. But we'll just keep waiting.

Here is my favorite Sea World Picture. Me, Blair and the cow of the Sea - the Manatee....See the similarities between me and the Sea cow. Lately I think me and the Sea cow have a lot more in common!
Here are some more fun pictures of us at Sea World

Can you believe that Blair fed a string ray! He's like a young Crocodile Hunter (Steve Erwin).
I passed on feeding the sting rays - actually I tried to feed them, but I got too scared and dropped the fish in the water. Petting and feeding Dolphins on the other hand was a whole different story. I would have jumped in and played with them if I wouldn't have been arrested or attacked by a trainer.
The boys ended a long day at Sea World with Budweiser free tastings (don't worry they didn't drink any Bud or Bud light)
we ended the day with hot chocolate and no contractions!


All together, it was a great trip.
