39 Weeks

[I thought I'd add a picture representing my 39 week belly. I don't do this often but thought since I'm nearing the end, those of you who haven't seen me could get a quick glimpse before Baby B makes her debut!]

Another week closer to meeting Baby B! This week's dr. appointment went well. I saw a different dr. as mine will be out of town for the next week. He estimated the baby to weigh about 8 1/2 - 9 pounds right now, and also thinks I'll go past my due date. Yippee - not! If she's that big now, how big will she be if I go past my due date?! I go back next Wednesday for my 40 week appointment and if I'm still in the same situation, we'll talk about inducing within the following week - possibly on/around Oct. 26. So, that's that. Now I just need to try to figure out how to relax and enjoy the next week and a half (which is really nothing!). Here are my milestones for the week.


How far along? 39 weeks
Maternity clothes? had to buy some cool weather clothes to get through the weekend
Sleep: lots of tossing and turning
Best moment this week: thinking I had dropped (but I think she moved back up...) :(
Movement: not as "big" of movements - she must be running out of room; still feel waves of movement across my belly though
Food cravings: Mexican food
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: none, nada, zip, zilch
Belly Button in or out? poking out a little but not all the time
What I miss: waking up feeling rested
What I am looking forward to: no more heartburn
Weekly Wisdom: enjoy the time of having an "inside" baby - spend quality time with the husband
Milestones: another week closer to meeting Baby B
