“People often compare it to running a marathon in terms of exertion/endurance, but you’d never just say, hmm, maybe I’ll start running a marathon at a random hour on a random day in the next three weeks.” – My cousin, who indulged me in this yoga photo shoot in the middle of her third trimester, on the prospect of giving birth.

I’d say she’s in pretty good shape nonetheless, wouldn’t you? Everyone send her good wishes for an easy and rewarding “marathon”!  I’m so excited to play with and snuggle and do sun salutes with her kiddo someday.
