39 Weeks

Photobucket
How far along? 39 Weeks. Holy Cow. Baby boy is the size of a watermelon. And it sure feels like I’m carrying a watermelon around!
Maternity clothes? For sure.
Stretch marks? Nope! I lucked out big time.
Sleep: I’m still up every two hours or so to go the bathroom and change positions…but sleeping pretty well considering.
Best moment this week: Relaxing on Saturday with the husband. And dinner out that included chocolate fondue for dessert…..amazing.
Miss Anything? Not really. I’m sort of going to miss my baby bump once this is over!
Movement: Still lots of movement and hiccups. So adorable.
Food cravings: I still really want a box of See’s chocolates. And raspberries.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
Gender: Baby boy
Labor Signs: Still nothing. I’m determined to make it to 40 weeks!
Symptoms: Still some swelling in my hands and a sore back. I think going to the chiropractor 3 times a week as well as walking every day have helped me avoid a lot of discomfort.
Belly Button in or out? It’s still flat and sore!
Wedding rings on or off? On…most of the time.
Mood: Good! I’m trying to enjoy my last week of pregnancy.
Looking forward to: This is my last week of work! I’m excited to have a break for a little while. And I’m also looking forward to relaxing over the long weekend.

  7. Last day of work?? Making it even more real! You and one of my good friends are like neck and neck with each other!

  8. Wow! I really don't know how we make it to 40 weeks carrying around these fruits! I'm 33 weeks and don't see how I'll make it…but I'm carrying seriously low too. Have a great last week with your bump. 🙂

  11. OH MAN! The home stretch!! 🙂 You're so close!

    Side note – I walked by a See's Chocolate in the mall yesterday and totally thought of you. Let me know if you'd like a chocolate care package. 🙂

  14. Gosh, 39 weeks!! So exciting and you continue to look fabulous! You're just glowing! I know I miss my bump sometimes too…but of course now I've got this beautiful baby boy to stare at! Cannot wait for you to meet him…so soon!! xo

  15. You look so pretty! I just love that you have kept up with the photos and used the chalk board. That is going to be so special to look back at. And by the way, I just have to say that I love your hair. Can't wait to see the blog posts once baby is born.

  16. Woo hoo! 39 weeks! You're there, mama! Any day now. Can't wait to hear the news that your little man has arrived. Hang in there and enjoy these last few days of being pregnant and spoiled. Life will never be the same (in a very good way!).

  18. As always, you look amazing and that little guy sure is a big watermelon! Praying for you in this last week for some wonderfully relaxing time off and a safe delivery!
