July 8, 2007 - No, that's not a basketball under my shirt

This is right before we left for the hospital on July 8, 2007 (the day before Wills was born). I'm posting this for all of you mothers and mothers-to-be out there who feel like you're the largest human being in the world when pregnant. You're not... because I was. I think the only people who could top me definitely had multiples. And for the record, it's not just my opinion that I was the largest pregnant woman you've ever seen - everyone who saw me told me so. :) I was stopped a minimum of 10x a day on the street with comments like, "How many are in there?" and "Holy cow, shouldn't you be at the hospital?" - and that was when I was 7 months pregnant. :) So to help you know that there's always someone out there larger than you... :) Honestly, I don't even think these pictures do my size justice, but you get the idea. And I laugh, so you should too.
