39 WEEKS!

how far along? 39 weeks [a week from today is my DUE DATE PEOPLE!]
how big is baby? 20 in, 7.25 lb [the size of a mini watermelon]
belly button in or out? same as last week. I think it will be weird to not have this belly button poking out in my shirts after she's born. haha I've kind of gotten used to it.
sleep? minimal. can you blame me? I have ONE WEEK. holy smokes.
craving? it's crazy how there is no room in my tummy these last few weeks. I can't wait to feel like I can actually eat a full meal again without feeling full constantly. But I'm still craving fruit. Which is what I craved in the beginning of my pregnancy, and now the end. Kinda weird. But soo yummy. :)
feeling? excited and nervous. and super uncomfortable. haha She is really low (which is good) but I waddle and I'm uncomfortable. Also contractions/back cramps have been in full swing so far this week. Hoping that it is all good signs that labor is near! Also, I can't remember if I've mentioned this before in other posts...but I feel I need to document it for my journal reasons... HEARTBURN might be the death of me. I've had it since 2nd trimester, but it was especially bad during my 3rd trimester...and these last few weeks I feel it might be the reason for my death. haha I have it constantly. It's not just certain foods that give it to me. I have gone through FOUR bottles of Tums. Yep, 4. They have saved my life. Anyway..thought I'd mention it. You know, in case she has hair and that old wives tale rings true. (doubtful..but we'll love our lil bald baby just the same!)
gender? Baby Girl- mama can't wait to meet you in a week! (or sooner...if you want...I won't be mad)
movement? today at church she was going CRAZY! Huge movements and strong kicks. It was so funny. She hasn't been that crazy active since the 2nd trimester. I think she is ready to come out and have a little more room to wiggle around!
showing? I'm a whale, lets leave it at that. haha My belly has definitely dropped lower which is actually super uncomfortable to have all the weight low and stretching my skin, ab muscles, and putting strain on my lower back. I'm so grateful the whole pregnancy I wasn't carrying this low! I think I'd take the rib pain and no breathing over the low heavy weight!
best moment of the week? MY MAMA IS HERE! She flew in early! She got here on Friday night the 16th! She is the best. Josh and I are so relieved to have her here. She's already been a huge help, and cooked us yummy dinner. She spoils us. Now that she is here, Josh is anxious for baby to get here. Every day before he leaves work he says, "have her today ok?" He is so excited to be a daddy and meet our little girl. And definitely feeling more confident now that mom is here. haha My mom has been giving me foot rubs, we've been walking around lots, and Josh forces me to bounce on the medicine ball constantly. They want her to come NOW! (I'm nervous for the whole labor/birth experience...but I secretly hope all these tricks work too!) My dad comes on Thursday- so maybe baby is waiting for Grandpa to get here and she will make her debut on Friday?
looking forward to? BABY TIME! At my latest appointment I was a THREE! Definitely making progress. It's weird to think....will this be my last bump update?????? Will the next post be introducing our baby girl? Fingers crossed.
