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.

    I have a weird phobia of stretch marks so please share what products you used to prevent them! You can be sure I'll write them down somewhere so I know when I have kids!
