Bump update - 39 weeks

39 weeks

How far along? 39 weeks… and we’re counting down days to our due date instead of weeks!

Baby Bump? I’m definitely pregnant, haha.

Comments on my size/pregnancy: “Let me guess, you’re due any day now?”, “I expected that you would already have your baby by now” “Are you sure you should be carrying those groceries?”

Maternity Clothes? Yep, maternity clothes are great, however, I can’t wait until I can start wearing my non-maternity clothes again. 

Best moment this week: I took Friday off so I could have the day to hang out with Scott. It was so nice having a 3 day weekend!

Belly Button in or out: I think it all depends on where the baby is sitting. Sometimes it starts to stick out, but for the most part it’s still an innie.

Miss anything?  Being able to bend over easily. I still have a decent range of motion, but it sure is getting more uncomfortable as the days go on.

Food cravings: I’m a fan of pretty much anything that I don’t have to cook myself.

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy.

Gender: BABY GIRL! 

Symptoms:  HUGE belly, lots of Braxton hicks, and some cramping, some slight swelling of the feet, I’ve been super hot all the time, and I’m super tired by the end of the day. I think that I’ve really had it easy, no major pains or anything.

Wedding Ring on or off: My ring is usually on. Lately I have felt like it has been super warm inside and my hands have started to swell due to that. As long as I am not hot my ring still fits great!

Sleep: I sleep pretty well. I toss and turn a couple times a night, but haven’t had any trouble getting back to sleep.

This week baby is the size of:  A mini watermelon, around 7 lbs and 20 inches long.

Baby’s development this week: She’s just getting bigger and building up her fat.

New Baby Items: We got a couple of gifts from friends this last week or so. One of our favorites is a “Baby’s first year” book where we can write in all the information for all her firsts as the year goes by. I think it’s a great idea, and there are so many firsts that I wouldn’t have ever thought about.

Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl!

Anything Else Going on: My mom is going to come out on the 1^st, and I cannot wait to see her. 

We cannot believe that we are counting down the days instead of weeks until our due date. I’ve had a few contractions, but nothing too bad. I still have a week until my due date, but I’m thinking that the baby will be coming later than that.
