Being a duplex
I have been happy, my dear,
To loan you half the house
Rent-free and furnished
As best I could.
You have been a good
Tenant, all in all
Quiet, yet comfortably there
Tapping friendly on the wall.
But I hear
You have outgrown the place
And are packing up to move.
Well, I will miss
The sweet proximity.
But we will keep in touch.
There are bonds, my dear,
That reach beyond a block
Or a mile or a hemisphere
Born of much love and labor.
I approve the move
And gladly turn from landlady
To neighbor.

Wow, I love that poem! I'm right there with you! :) But if that is YOUR belly this month, then I don't think we can be friends anymore. Just kidding, but seriously, if it is, how did you avoid stretch marks?
That is cool! Is that your belly? Amazing how great it looks!
Really? That is a picture of you this month? Your baby bump is so small compared to how I feel!!! Good luck. I wish you the best of luck with your birth!!! We have gone past our due date and are anxiously waiting. :) Can't wait! How about you?
Yes, it is my belly! But don't worry Christy I think this picture was taken almost a month ago so I am (was) a quite a bit bigger. I'm also blessed with good genetics and have stretchy skin. I only got one little stretch mark on my side-- one less than I got with Asher.
