39 Weeks

 

How far along? 39 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Most everything is maternity- have a few dresses and tshirts/jackets that will still work. Just this week my boots have given me trouble to wear them b/c my feet expand during the day.

Sleep? Still not great. I’ve taken up sleeping on the couch which helps gives me a little more support but I sure do miss sleeping in my bed. Fought a bad cold a few weeks ago but luckily getting passed that now and praying my cough goes completely away in the next 2 days so I don’t have to cough after having a c-section.

Best moment in the last week? Knowing she’ll be here soon. We finished the nursery and I decided to take Halloween (the day before she gets here) off to get everything ready to go. This planned stuff sure does make it easier for a type A girl like me!

Miss anything? Sleeping, being able to zip my jackets- ha!

Movement? Yep, baby girl is running out of room.

Food cravings? Nope. Mostly drinks- I seem like I’m always thirsty.

Anything making you queasy/sick? I stopped taking the fish oil vitamin and that seemed to do the trick to take away the sick feeling at night.

Gender? GIRL! We are so excited to welcome another little princess into our family.

Labor Signs? Not really. Feeling a little more here and there that are close to contractions but nothing regular.

 Symptoms? Backpain, pressure when I walk/stand up, and so tired

Belly button in or out? Out just a little

Wedding rings on or off? On- although at some points I’m not sure I can get them off.

Happy or moody? Happy- getting so excited to meet this little girl!

Looking forward to? Meeting her in just 2 more DAYS!! J

Daddy moment?  We’re both just getting so excited and nervous at the same time. He’s helped me finish up the nursery, carve pumpkins with Aspen, keep the house relatively clean and grocery shopping. He’s also taking Aspen trick or treating tomorrow since this prego would not be able to keep up!

Big Sister moment? She asks every day how much longer. She’s got a fun weekend planned to be at the hospital with us Friday and a cousin bday party in manhattan Saturday and hanging out with her old daycare buds on Sunday. She’s already got next week all planned out how she’s going to show the baby how to play babies “but she can only watch me play b/c she’s not big enough yet to play” and she says she’s going to feed her and change her, but not the dirty ones- she’s leaving those for daddy. ;)
