A Basketball?

The other day, a neighbor asked if Dale was missing his basketball. I started thinking of where the basketball might be and said I didn't think so. My neighbor said he knew where it was and pointed at my pregnant belly. After laughing, he was quick to add that it's a compliment because that is the only place I look pregnant. With this pregnancy, I've actually had several comments on how my belly looks like I just put a basketball under my shirt.
This picture is actually from about a month ago, but I think it shows why people would say such things. I'm grateful though, because with Kimball I retained water everywhere else, but this time, I do seem to be carrying all the extra weight on my belly.
Tomorrow I will be 37 weeks along, and full-term. Kimball was born right at 37 weeks so we're trying to be prepared while not psyching ourselves up too much, knowing that each baby/pregnancy is unique. Kimball is so good about not climbing into the cradle or swing that we have for the baby and gets so excited everytime he sees a baby so we're hoping he'll be more excited than jealous when a baby comes home and is permanent. I think he'll miss my big belly because he uses it as a pillow regularly.
