Bumpdate 39 weeks, 2 days

No smiles this week. I'm exhausted, hot, and very uncomfortable. Plus I have had a very emotional couple of days that are not helping me at all. The good news is that God is answering my prayers so even though I'm completely ready for Goose to come out and join us I'm trusting God's timing. Why? Well if I could have chose the timing this week it would have been the worst timing this month. So for now I'm going to just suffer through my emotional and physical feelings and keep going on with life until God decides that it is time for it to change. 

How far along? 39 weeks 2 days

How big is baby? He feels huge! I have no idea how big he is I just know that he is getting bigger and bigger. I think he's going to be over 8 pounds for sure.

Weight gain? Another 2 pounds this week and I passed the mark that I was trying to avoid. It just makes me want to get back to working out regularly as quickly as I'm aloud to. 

Maternity clothes? Yep. I can't wait until I can wear comfy pj's again. Right now I only have 2 pairs of shorts that fit me but they aren't fitting really comfy.

Stretch marks? Another sad day was looking in the mirror and realizing that he chose to stay in long enough to make new stretch marks. I made it until a week before my due date before I developed any new stretch marks. I guess he wanted to leave his 'mark' on mommy too.

Sleep? I'm sleeping like crazy. I sleep 6 to 8 hours a night (actually sometimes I can even get 10 hours in) and then I sleep when Rex takes his nap for about 2 hours. I have never been a sleeper so this is very weird for me. I'm not use to being tired all the time. 

Best moment this week? Realizing that God does have his perfect timing for this. This helped take some pressure off my shoulders that I was putting there for myself. 

Movement? He's really slowing down. He moves when I sit forward or bend over. He is so low that I think that he is uncomfortable when I move that way. He also stretches all the time which is super uncomfortable for me and I have to arch my back to give him space so that it doesn't hurt so much.

Food cravings? Nothing really. I'm trying to add more healthy things in that I haven't been doing lately. I thought I was at the end a few weeks ago so I was just eating whatever sounded good because all food smelled bad. Now that he won't come out (I'm starting to wonder if he will stay in there forever!) I'm going to start back some things now that I will continue if he ever comes out.

Labor signs? I have been contracting for several weeks off and on. I just realized this week that is what is going on. At least it looks like it will be more like last time and I won't be feeling to many contractions.

Belly button in or out? It's still in but it looks like it's on the way out. He better come before that happens. I'm good keeping my belly button right where it is.

What I miss? Being comfortable and not being tired. One day I will be back to normal (maybe 18 years from now?!?)

Weekly milestones? The count down have began. Only 5 days left. My fear is that I will have to start counting back up again. 

Next appointment? Thursday. I have to wait to have a stress test done the day after my due date so that would be Thursday. However, there are plans in the works that might cause me to have to change it. I'm excited to see how it goes and make sure we are both healthy still.
