Despite all my convictions that Hylton would arrive early- or at least on time- he has decided to wait until he is physically removed from the womb. Sterling was 4 days late (I went into labor the morning of the scheduled induction) and Evie was 1 day late, so I thought perhaps being the third, Hylton would just sort of "drop out" early. I've been telling (read: razzing, nagging, accusing, etc) Doug that it is just characteristic of Church boys to be a little slow to develop, or unable to make so permanent a decision under pressure. I figure he needs to be involved in the misery somehow since he can't experience the miraculous joy that is pregnancy.
So here I am yesterday afternoon letting the kids burn off some steam outside. This picture is just classic: I'm ginormously pregnant, lounging as comfortably as I can in a chair, reading my feel-good romance novel, looking extra-special pissed off (Doug has another, less savory term for this), while Sterling hides behind the chair. My clothes don't even match, mostly because they are the only ones that fit comfortably right now (meaning able to completely cover my ample proportions so I don't look like a pregnant Britney Spears or some white trash mom at Walmart ....I guess that is redundant...) and partly because I just don't care!
Anyway, enough complaining! Here are the kids (and a 6 foot man) being cute in the pool, and a couple pictures of my lovely tomatoes.

I've been wondering about you... I remember when I was running around 2 weeks late with Saree I used to get really tired of everyone calling to find out if I'd had the baby yet. Tomorrow is the day right? I'm anxious to hear every detail!!!
I LOVE IT!! seriously adrianna, you should be a writer! you have one of the most entertaining blogs that i have ever read. hope you have the baby soon! there's nothing worse than being over-due. hope it happens for you soon!
btw...the film must have been grainy b/c i WISH i had a cute tummy! i said goodbye to nice stomach about 9 years ago. right along with small thighs and big boobs.
Oh, girl, I can't believe he just wants to stay so long! You are awesome for sticking this thing out so well!
By the way, I agree with crystal, your blogs are so entertaining to read!!! You always crack me up!
