And that was my last chalkboard pic because I thought I would be going in any day after that, but I was wrong. I went a week over my due date and ended up with an almost 9 pound baby. I also didn't get a single stretch mark thanks to my AMAZING Arbonne Firming Cream. The doctor was very wrong about me carrying a small baby. Haha! Here is the last pic I took. It was the night before I had her.
A week overdue:
Some photos below just for fun:
