39 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 39 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: not even counting anymore J

Maternity Clothes: maternity dresses, jeans, and pants…a mix of regular tops and maternity

Gender: A girl! Colbi Morgan Petty

Movement: All the time! More of a rolling, punching type movement now (and I think it’s intentional!) HA!

 What I miss: Feeling normal. All is included in that!

Cravings: None really this week

Symptoms: acid reflex, indigestion, having some contractions

Best moment this week: This whole week has been good. Not too much going on, just waiting on her to decide when she wants to come. I think I've gone thru the "nesting" period twice already. Today I spent the day cleaning, which included all the carpets in the house. 

I was a little disappointed yesterday after our doctor's appointment when they told me I hadn't changed any from last week. Boo. I'm trying hard not to get discouraged, but it's challenging. I'm so ready for it to be over and her to be here. I've accepted the fact that I may or may not be pregnant another two weeks (my doctor will induce if I go 7 days past my due date). Just accepting it and trying to keep my mind off of it the best I can is my plan from here on out. :)

The good news is that Dave and I had two great dates this week. We decided this could be the last weekend we get to have some alone time so we took advantage. And, we've slept late too (by we, I mean Dave) because before long, that will be a luxury that won't be available either. Ah, how life is going to change...........
