39 Weeks

March 13 - 19

Well here we are, on March 20th. I'm 40 weeks today and as you can imagine based on my past posts, super shocked that I'm posting an update and not busy with a baby. This week has been good, but generally uneventful. Lots of walking, lots of errand running and just staying prepped. Grace is settling into the routine of having someone other than just her and I around and we are getting into a grove. My mom has officially been here a week and a half and is scheduled to leave next Friday, so the sooner Charlie is born, the better.

Speaking of C's arrival, I had my 40 week appointment yesterday and had another membrane sweep. I'll get crampy for a little bit, have contractions here and there, but then not really have much else going on. I go back Friday if Charlie doesn't decide to come before then for another check and sweep, and then again on Monday morning to hopefully confirm an induction that evening. Basically if things go according to plan, the latest she should arrive is next Tuesday.

Survey says...

How far along?: 39 weeks

Total weight gain/loss:  -.5 from last week. +34 overall. Hopefully that's about it.

Maternity clothes?: Same stuff. Ready to pack it up!

Sleep: Not bad at all.

Best moment of the week:  I don't know if I have a best moment. I'm just generally on edge and trying to relax and not obsess over when things will start to happen.

Movement:  Yup. Still big, strong movements. Lots of crazy belly movement too.

Food Cravings: Meh. Nothing really. I did eat 3 pieces of pineapple upside down cake in less than 24 hours and it was out of this world.

Gender: Girl

Belly Button: Out as far as it will go. Stretched really thin.

Stretchmarks?: I have 3 above my belly button ring hole. They are light, but I basically have no more room to stretch at this point and am not shocked that I have a few.

What I miss: Not getting tired from lugging a 30lb bowling ball around all day. Not having pelvic pain that makes me wince. Not complaining. ;)

What I am looking forward to: Getting this baby out of my body. Getting into a new routine.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't plan anything unless you have a Doctor that will let you go that route. I put so much faith on the fact that Grace was early and figure God is just laughing at me right now.

Milestones: DUE DATE.

Grace's space: She's been super fussy and bossy lately. It's really fun. (Not.) She for sure knows the baby is coming and is generally okay about that, she's just dealing with change. Speaking of Grace things, she will officially be 2.5 tomorrow! Wouldn't it be fun to have both girl's b-days on the 21st?! (Hint-hint, Charlie.)
