This is a picture of me a few days ago at exactly 36 weeks, and yes, I know I am quite large. :) I can hardly fit into any of my clothes because my belly is so big and she is so low already. I feel like I live in the bathroom because she is constantly pushing on my bladder. At my appointment this morning I was 2 cm and 70% effaced and I have officially gained 34 pounds, yikes. Just a few days ago I was 1.5 cm and 60%. My doctor told me that with this being my second I could possibly stay dilated just like this for a few weeks. But then he told me that he would strip my membranes at 38 weeks, but that he didn't think I would make it to that point, Yay!!! If Grace shows up when Ella did, then I would have her in a week. I have been having tons of contractions and just today I can tell I am having even more. I do feel like I have been pregnant forever, but I can't believe the time is finally here to meet our new little girl. I feel ready in that her nursery is totally finished (pics to come later) and we have everything we could need for her, but the craziness of a newborn and no sleep makes me a little nervous. More than anything though I can't wait to meet Grace and see what she looks like. I am excited for Ella to be a big sister and for our little family to grow. I will be sure to keep everyone updated as things progress.

Hi Jill. Of course it's okay to look at my blog! It's public! And don't worry, I look at yours too! (I think I also found yours through Konnie.) -- 36 weeks, you're getting so close! Good luck with the last few weeks and delivery. It will be fun to meet baby #2!
I can't believe Grace is almost here! You look so cute! So, I need to call you. We're coming out to Utah. Hopefully, Grace will be here so I can meet her! I'll give you a call soon.
Yay! Maybe if you have her while we're in Utah I could do her pictures! How fun would that be?!? Good luck!
Good luck! I was 80% effaced and 2 cm dilated for at least 3 weeks and they striped my membranes at 38, 39 & 40 weeks... 41 weeks I made them break my water. So you never know. But since Ella was early, I bet you will go any day! Your belly is so cute! It looks so misplaced because you are so tiny and then you are all belly with the baby!
FYI it isn't bad to have favorites in Nursery!! Cute belly. I think you look so good. I wish I carried it as well as you!
Good luck with your delivery! You are such a beautiful mom.
You look great!! ALL belly! I can't wait to see pictures of Grace's nursery and of course pictures of her. I'm sure you're ready to have her in your arms and off your bladder. I'm feeling that way and I'm only at 26 weeks!
So exciting! I can't wait to see her. Good luck with everything and hopefully it comes soon for you, I know you are ready to have her here!
Jill, you look wonderful. I can't wait to meet Grace...although I already know she will be beautiful, just like her mom. Congratulations!
