So in case you were wondering what 39 weeks looks like here it is! I'd like to say the stripes make it look bigger but at this point I really do feel huge. The baby could come anytime now so I am starting to get a little nervous about when and how it is going to decide to come into the world. I really hope it comes during normal business hours and not at 3am. Blake and Claire both came in the evening but not too late and I think that worked out great so I hope this one follows that pattern.
Sleeping is getting a little difficult but I do still manage to fall asleep off and on. My hips hurt after laying on my side for a while so I have to keep flipping from side to side. I also have some contractions at night usually which freaks me out and I lay there wondering is this happening? Is this baby coming now? Which doesn't help with falling asleep! Ben says I have "the slant" which means baby is dropping. I do feel more pressure and have been waddling more so he is probably right.
My next doctor appointment is Thursday but I kind of hope the baby is here by then. If not we will keep waiting because being induced doesn't sound appealing to me at all. Maybe I will change my mind if I am still pregnant at 40 weeks. We are excited to meet our new baby and see if it is a boy or girl! The 50/50 boy/girl ratio at our house is about to change!
We will try to keep everyone posted when baby arrives!
Till then...baby watch 2014 rolls on...
I know you feel huge, but you look great! Good luck with the last week (hopefully) of pregnancy. I hope the baby comes soon, all goes well, and everyone is healthy. I cannot wait to meet him or her! :)
