Rich looks at me and says I’m cute. I don’t know about that, but I am slowing down that’s for sure. The couch is a happy place for me, when I can get there. Cleaning is getting difficult–dropping things on the floor never made me more impatient, as I detest bending over to pick stuff up. I’m quite uncomfortable and tired at times. However, all things considered, I honestly feel much better than I thought I would at this point and am very happy and blessed to feel the baby growing and moving inside me. I love it when he gets the hiccups. He is more active in the evening and I love to put my hand on my tummy to enjoy the entertainment, and pray silent “thank you’s” over and over to God as I do. My husband is starting to forget what it’s like for me NOT to be pregnant……Grace often comments in her dramatic way about how BIG my tummy’s getting, and we are all looking forward to seeing baby Seth. Actually, I’m DYING to see him. And sniff him, hold him, cuddle him, feed him, change his tiny diapers, wrap him in blankies, give him baths in the kitchen sink……..oh yes, all of that. He won’t be out of my arms very much. Nope. Won’t share. 
Only 9 weeks until my due date. And my own birthday, as a matter of fact.
Happy Friday to you!
Good to be Home 
Wow, he is due on your birthday? Fun. My middle son,Nick,was born the day before Bob’s birthday…which happens to be his uncles B.D. I agree with Rich,you are cute! Happy thoughts of baby, Jenny
Your husband is right.
You look beautiful Shan. I can wait to hold the little guy! We miss you and can’t wait to see you and the family.
Awwww….you are Cute!! 🙂 Lovely pictures. 🙂 Isn’t it amazing how slooooow those last few weeks go?
You’re almost there! You look beautiful dear!
Oh my, how exciting!!! I love the pictures 🙂

How fun would it be if you have Seth on your birthday! It would be one more thing for us to have in common!!!
Wow, only nine weeks — the time has gone fast — for me at least!! You’re lookin’ good!
you do look cute:)
And we look forward to all the baby pictures!!:)
Rich is right, you are cute! Won’t be long and you’ll be holding baby Seth in your arms. I love the newborn smell- I cried when I couldn’t smell it on Bethany any more. Have a wonderful Friday!
yes, i have to agree with your husband,you definitly are carrying baby Seth really well.i remember the aches and pains,but of course it is well worth it as you know. i remember feeling as though i was going to be in pain indefinitly towards the end. i kept thinking how hard it would be after, because i didn’t realize the pain would be gone!was i ever wrong…….chin up! (i love your outfit!)
You look fantastic!! You are definitely one of those glowing, beautiful pregnant moms. 🙂
You do look so cute! I can’t wait to see all the pictures of baby Seth when he arrives!
Pregnancy is very lovely on you. Can’t wait to see if he’s born on your birthday! Happy 7 months to you both.
You have the cutest green belly I’ve ever seen! My husband ALWAYS thinks pregnant women look “cute” – Rich being the only other man I’ve heard say that! Interesting!
hoping for the same birthday…that would be a special thing to share with Seth…I share my birthday with my baby sister…she was born on my 6th birthday…
the weeks are flying! 🙂
You are so pretty! (love the 1st picture (and the 2nd too) great idea) You better share Seth with me my arms need to hold that dear sweet baby boy!~Sissy
You do look cute!
The nine weeks will go by so fast, I wonder if you will miss being pregnant!
I want to meet Seth as well, he is so well loved already, and blessed tht ahe has a Mommy who is enjoying even his hiccups!
Those are good pictures. Happy 7 months!! Wow the time as went by quickly. Easy for me to say:)
I always picked things up with my toes!
I can relate…..I don’t feel “cute” in the least sense of the word, but hubby still thinks that belly is beautiful! Congrats on making 7 months….I am 26 weeks today….also having an active little boy….Adam (I think)
My daughter is due at the end of March. I wish I could see her tummy!
Oh Shanda, you are simply beautiful, I can’t wait for you to meet the new little man in your life 🙂
I think you’re cute, too. I can’t believe you only have 9 weeks left. 🙂
I forget what day you’re due, but I know we’re close. I, too, am feeling so uncomfy. But I was telling someone today that I feel so blessed by this little baby that I try not to think too much about the yucky stuff!
You are cute! beautiful, pregnant or not. Love you.
you are beautiful…. a truly blessed and loved woman….how wonderful to see in this world of today. enjoy the last few weeks of the baby inside. may your holidays be blessed as well. melinda
You are radiant!!! Thanks for letting us enjoy your pregnancy with you! 🙂
You are too cute. You look so good. I was miserable with my last pregnancy ( a reason he was my last due to pelvic separation.) I didn’t look that happy. Happy 7 months!
I don’t know you, but I stumbled onto your blogs a while back. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts & seeing your beautiful family. I’m also pregnant & due to meet our little boy in 9 weeks! How about that? This is our first child. Thanks for (inadvertently) allowing me a glimpse into your life!
You have a beautiful “baby bump.”
Only 9 weeks left? Wow ~ that’s soon, huh? Seems like it has gone quickly ~ at least from here! LOL!
hoping for the same birthday =>seth is a good name~!Take care always – Miiasoey
what a pretty picture. =)
You’ve got that happy glow that they’re always attributing to pregnant women! Congrats 🙂
Your husband is right! You are soo cute!! love the pictures! I love the feeling of a baby inside of me and I love the newborn stage… but I don’t think I will be doing it again…because then the become toddlers and preschoolers and I can barely handle the four I have. thanks a lot for making me wish I could handle more!!
Shanda, You look wonderful! I miss those days, tiredness and all.
You have such a wonderful way with pictures.
You don’t have to share your baby that much. =) It’s amazing how people don’t understand….that busy moms with many children just want to hold their tiny baby….not have someone else hold them while they help the others. ; )
that;s really nice. 9 weeks til a miracle. and it;ll happen around your bday. xD congrats to you.
What a cutie patootie you are!
You look aDORable! Love the pics!
Hey did you guys get hit by the ice storm?
@naturalmomma1 – No, it just missed us. We got lots and lots of rain…….today is colder though and some of the standing puddles have frozen over, but nothing too dangerous. Thanks for asking! ((HUGS))
@purpleamethyst76 – Good to hear! (hugs) back!
Cute? You look adorable! By the way, I love the name Seth! It fits perfectly with your beautiful family! Jacob, Ethan, Grace, David, Caleb and now SETH! :o) Can you believe that you will have 6 kids in a matter of a few weeks??? You definitely don’t look old enough to be the mommy of 6!!Oh, and that first picture should be on the front cover of “Pregnancy Today”‘s Christmas issue! So unique, colorful and beautiful!!
I just love the pictures! Specially the first one! Your photography is always beautiful!
