Pregnancy Update

 My last blog post had me at 22 weeks...so it was time to update!!  (Thanks for the gentle reminders Jill and Danielle, haha.)  I have done 5 blog posts below this one...just to keep things chronological.  Enjoy :)

First off, Baby Meador is due in 11 days !!  We are so excited/anxious for the next few weeks.  People keep asking me if I am nervous, which is possibly making me a bit more nervous than I was!  I know our life is going to change drastically, but we have been waiting for this day for a long time.  I can't wait to see my daughter's face and have the opportunity to hold her and see Kevin hold her for the first time.  Makes me feel a bit emotional just thinking about it.

This is mostly for my own record...but here are the updated baby bump pictures.  Funny side-note:  I have had several people in the last 2 weeks tell me that I don't look like I am due so soon.  While this is a nice boost of confidence since I feel rather large (as I have to roll myself out of bed in the morning), I find it kind of funny.  Last week, I was working in a classroom with children with Autism.  One of the parents came in (whom I had never met, but have heard numerous stories about since she drives a Mazzerati and lives in Section 8 housing...apparently she recently inherited money) and was asking me about my due date, etc.  She was complimenting me about how great I looked, then in all seriousness, asked me if I was interested in being a surrogate when my pregnancy was over.  I wasn't quite sure how to respond, so I kind of laughed and said, "Probably not".  Kind of a weird conversation to have with someone you just met, right?  She just kept telling me that I looked so great pregnant, and that she really wanted to have a girl, but wasn't speaking to her son's father.  It was interesting, to say the least.
