How far along: 39 Weeks (baby is the size of a watermelon
Due date: April 16, 2014 (One Week!!)
Gender: Girl
Weight gain: 20 lbs.
Movement: There's not as much as there was when she was smaller, but she still likes to give me some jabs with her elbows and to get her feet stuck up under my ribs. Sooo painful!!!!
Maternity clothes: Always.
Stretch marks: Sadly, a few of them.
Sleep: Still not the greatest sleep ever. I have to get up to use the bathroom at least once a night, sometimes up to three or four times. Plus, I've been having contractions that never really progress to anything, which makes it hard to sleep.
Purchased baby items: Pretty much everything is purchased now. Her nursery is all ready and the hospital bags are all packed and ready to go.
Best moment this week: This week has been rough with contractions that start and then stop. Getting my hopes up for baby girls arrival, only to have them completely stop is not fun.
Worst moment this week: Just not feeling well and still having to go in to work really stinks. I'm just ready to be home with baby girl.
Miss anything: My ankles. I've been blessed with swollen feet and ankles over the last few weeks, so it will be really nice to be able to wear normal, cute shoes again.
Cravings: Milk. Honey Nut Cheerios. Strawberries.
Queasy or sick: Not really sick, just not feeling well because of being 39 weeks pregnant, lol!
Looking forward to: Meeting her and seeing what she looks like. I am just so ready to not be pregnant anymore.
It's just so hard to believe that literally at any moment we could be having a baby. It's also hard to think that it could possibly be three more weeks. (my Dr. will let me go two weeks past) I'm dilated to a 3 and am 90% effaced so my Dr. doesn't think it will be much longer, but it's so hard to be patient and just let her come. This entire pregnancy has been amazing, and I feel super blessed to have had no real issues so I am trying to stay positive and just enjoy these last few days with Dan as just a family of two, because our lives will soon change for good.
