Almost Time...

Well, this pregnancy has been a journey to say the least. I took my first two "textbook" pregnancies for granted. As we are facing yet another obstacle- a breech baby- we are looking at most likely being induced in a week from tomorrow after my Dr. performs a "version" to hopefully get this little guy into the right position. A big "THANK YOU" to Erin who was kind enough to take some pictures of my belly to document this, mostly likely, my last pregnancy. I am at peace with how things will turn out and just looking forward to meeting this baby in person. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a mother and our family cannot wait to welcome this tiny person into our lives.

Oh my gosh!! How can a person look this beautiful 9 months pregnant?! When I grow up I want to be Natalie Copeland. I can't WAIT for this little man to arrive! You and Kent make AMAZING offspring. Please plan to be in SLC this summer so we can meet him. Love you, hang in there!

I loved the pictures! You look so beautiful and certainly don't look nine months along! We are so excited, too, about this little guy! I wish we could be there in person to welcome him into the family!

Ok, I can't believe how beautiful you look one week away from giving birth. Not fair! These are the most beautiful pics I've seen of you since your wedding ones. Your hair looks amazing...and there is no way there is a full-term baby in that belly of yours! Beautiful.

I'm so excited to hear of the safe and healthy arrival of little CRC. I wish I was doing it with you....as the first two times around it was an honor to be pregnant alongside you.

Hugs and kisses to you and the fam! And best of luck with the inversion. Come on baby....cooperate! And be an angel baby...so MAYBE, just maybe, you can become a big brother one day! ;)

PS: Where did you get your DARLING headband? I'm looking for some for Lola. She doesn't have the "bump" at the back of her head needed to hold a real headband on, so the kind you have on is perfect.

You are beautiful Natalie! I am SO excited for you. This little guy must be pretty special for all you've had to go through. Best of luck with getting him here safe and sound. That peaceful feeling inside says A LOT. I have no doubt all will be well.

Erin said...

Yey! They turned out amazing! You're beautiful, Natalie!

We are all crossing our fingers for a very graceful, uneventful birth after the stressful pregnancy you have been through. This is going to be a celebrated birth and the most special baby ever!!

You look so beautiful!! These pictures bring back memories of a time not so long ago in Vernal where we found some cool places to pose for the camera... I am missing you! I love you and hope all goes well with the delivery... I can't believe it is almost time to meet the little man... So thrilled for you and your family right now. Can't wait to see you again. Mark might be moving to Washington. He was offered a job in both Centralia and Wanache. He has an interview in Indiana. Maybe he will decide to move out your way... Anyways I just wanted to say I love you.
