Joyful Chaos 
You look wonderful! I feel about that big and I’m only 32 weeks tomorrow. 🙂 The countdown begins, huh? (lol, actually, I’ve been counting down days for a few weeks now. I’m ready!!)
You look great!
looking beautiful!!
I love your yellow walls.. so cheery!
You look super!!!
I can’t believe it is almost time!
You look so happy – congratulations on this new child! You are so blessed!
Hello! I am new to your blog. My name is Maria, I just turned 41, and I’m newly married (I’m now living in a new place and do not know that many people here yet.). My husband and I are hoping and praying we will be blessed with a baby too. So, it is really possible (Thanks to God) to have a baby in your 40’s? I will pray for you and your family and that you will be blessed with more children. Could you please pray for my husband and me too that we will be blessed with a baby too? Thank you so much!
I’d love to make some new Catholic friends both offline and online.
If we are blessed with a child, I really want to be a stay at home wife and mother and homeschool. It is very important to me to be a good Catholic wife and mother like the Blessed Mother, St. Anne, and St. Gianna and for our future children to know and love Jesus as well as the faith.
Thank you!

May God Bless you.

Dear Maria, How wonderful to hear a newlywed woman excited about her vocation as wife/mother. While I have quite a few years before I will see my 40’s, I know plenty of woman that have indeed had babies at that age. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers! God Bless, Lisa
You look terrific! We are getting so anxious right along with you!
It won’t be long now!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait!
What a treasure all these photos will be for your little one to see someday!
It seems like you’re due around the same time that I was last year! My baby came 12 days “late” on my birthday in September. Keep cool the rest of your pregnancy and I can’t wait to hear all about your birth although I know it’s still probably weeks away!
birthing blessings, Guinever
You seem to look more and more lovely with each picture! So beautiful.
