39 Week Update

How far along? 39 weeks (The size of a watermelon.  Between 19-22 inches and between 7 -9 pounds.)

Total weight gain/loss: +33 lbs (You can't constantly eat the way we constantly ate the wonderful food people KEPT bringing while at home and NOT expect to gain weight...I'm probably lucky it was only two pounds!)
 
Maternity clothes: I only have a section of maternity clothes that still fit unfortunately.  
 
Have you told family and friends?  Everybody knows now :)

Have you started to show yet? Yep.
 

Sleep:   I have been sleeping ok.  Not great, but pretty good for my adjusted schedule I have come to know.

 

Best moment this week:  Since we took our unexpected trip home it was a great time to get to share this very last part of pregnancy with my family that weren't expecting to get to.  Having her constantly with me was an unbelievable source of comfort.

 

Miss Anything?  Honestly, I really miss that this time last week I thought our sweet little Shamrock would get to meet my Papa.  I really miss that this morning.

 

Movement: She moves around a lot still just different movements since she is so big.  She gets the hiccups a lot.

 

Food cravings: Still loving that Sonic ice!  The people at my Sonic here probably think I have had the baby since I haven't been by in almost a week and the ones at the Sonic in Valdosta got to see us almost every time that we passed it.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really that I can think of.  The heartburn is pretty constant but I don't let it get so bad that it makes me sick very often.

Gender prediction: GIRL.  If she comes out a boy we probably won't have anything monogrammed wrong (since we CAN NOT agree on a name) but we will have A TON (like a ridiculous amount) of baby girl clothes that have to be returned.
 
Labor Signs: The Dr didn't actually do a "check" because she wanted me to be able to go on to be with my family and a full "check" can "stir things up" and that was the last thing she wanted to do.  She asked me some extensive questions, felt around on my stomach and felt confident that I was probably going to be pregnant another week or so at least.  Wednesday she will check me and we'll know more about any progress I have made.

Symptoms: The back pain and heartburn are really the only symptoms that I have been dealing with besides the obvious running out of room in there to eat or take a full breath.  It is getting pretty crowded in there for sure.

 

This sideways picture thing is making my blood pressure rise.
