At this point, I'm almost hoping that Norah is a mammoth-sized baby, just so that her birth means that I'll soon be rid of all this bulk. Try rolling out of bed with this belly! I look, and feel, like a beached whale.In non-preggo news, I am happy to report that my self-serving campaign to get you guys to read and vote for my published short story paid off, and it was selected as July's "Story of the Month"! So thanks for taking the time to go and read and vote; I appreciate it! I don't win any kind of monetary prize, nor will I get a shiny trophy (damn!), but I do get to score bragging rights and the story will be published in the magazine's annual print edition. Getting that awesome news today was exactly what I needed: It definitely helped lift me out of the funk I've been feeling for the last few days.

Congrats on the story win. I thought it was great, so it's a well-deserved win.
Rather than risk never being able to comment to your blog, I'm going to agree with the three ladies...... WOW!
Wow you are huge! i mean, it's got to feel good to know you are this close to the end of the pregnancy. and huge = glowing, that's supposed to be a compliment.
sweet! nice curves :-)
You still look cheerful, well-groomed, and great! Congrats on the win!

And congrats on having your story picked!
You have that beautiful mommy glow! Congratulations on the story - I just read it and it is wonderful!
Counting down and congrats on the storey - awesome!
You looked fabulous in the picture. I would have to say any minute by now!
You need to make your own trophy! I saw a place in a strip mall a while back that would do it for you in no time flat. The real question - would you put a book on the top or a keyboard?
Congrats on first place, it really was a good story. You look fabulous, hope Norah arrives soon!
Oh Jeez! You are super preggo!Congrats on having your story picked.

Amazing ! You are so close. Best of luck.
i don't think you look that big--but you do look like you're ready to pop! hope the waiting game is over soon. hang in there!
Congratulations on the story!
You look awesome! Hopefully, she will be here soon.
You look great!! I know its hard to imagine but there's a chance you might miss being pregnant (I do) so hopefully you're able to enjoy it for these last few moments. ;)
Congrats on the story!
You look awesome and you are so close now!
You are all baby. It is all going to go away real quickly. Just look how fit the rest of you is! looking so cute. Congrats on the story!
Yeah for the story! You look adorable! I had a weird feeling today and went to check your blog, anytime now!!
Ha ha, I feel like a gigantasaurus too! I can't believe how much harder it is to move around - feels like it changed almost over night! Hope you're staying comfortable!
You look fantastic! I know what you mean though... I'm at 39 weeks and 5 days and feeling like I'm never going to have this baby!
You still look fantastic!! You are nothing but belly.
Congrats on the story!
The funk is almost over, I remember looking/feeling like that with my son. I was HUGE, bigger than you. When you're holding Norah in your arms you might for a second just miss the days when she was moving inside you.
Congratulations on the article.
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you do look impressively large in that photo. Only because you look so cute and small everywhere else and then torpedo belly! Pregnant bodies are funny.
*Word verification: sucalife :)
Congrats on the story - and thanks for all your posts on running/exercising while pregnant. I'm 30 weeks along and you've helped me keep running the whole time :)
That sure is a lot of weight for you to be carrying around on your small frame, but I still think you look great!
Congrats on winning story of the month!
Just found your blog -- I knew from the title of this post I would enjoy it :-). Best wishes with baby!
Dang girl, just look at you, you're gorgeous and baby Nora will be here in no time flat!!
Congrat's on your story going to hard copy, that is awesome....
Congrats on the story of the month!
BTW- you may be big, but you look beautiful.
i'm just getting back into running after not doing ti for 3 years so it's been really hard. i decided to start training for a half so you're totally motivating and inspiring me! plus you look so super cute with that belly!!! and congrats on your story! so exciting!
Your picture is great! You are less than 1 week away so feeling "gianormous" is the name of the game at this stage. It won't go on forever!
Congrats on the prize-less prize. Cheers!
Congrats on having your story win, that's great!
Just a quick update - my doctor told me this morning that my baby's a Giant too! Yikes!
