Ch-ch-ch-anges
This is how I looked on the day before my 38th birthday:
28 weeks, 1 day
We're down in Philly for New Year's Eve babysitting - believe it or not! Yes. I decided that our last New Year's Eve as the two of us should be spent with our favorite three-pack. And I get to be in Philly, with my family, for my birthday. Bliss!

Happy Birthday, Cara!!! Love that belly! We just took out pictures of me with my son right before birth and we all loved it. That was 7 years ago for me-enjoy every moment from here on in because, like they all say and how true it is, time really does go by fast. How does it feel to be 25? ;-)
