Current Ramblings - at 39 Weeks

 

(this picture taken at 37 weeks)

 

In about 4 1/2 hours I will be 39 weeks pregnant. Time is flying by, I can't seem to keep up! My belly (and other areas) is big. No doubt about that. For the most part I am still feeling really good. I usually don't go to bed without having to take a couple of Tums due to acid reflux. I get up 1-2 times at night to use the bathroom. And most of the time it's a shuffle to the bathroom because my feet feel so stiff. I can only imagine how funny I look making my way in the dark. Let's see, what else. Spencer's favorite part of the day is any time I have to get off the couch or out of the bed. He says pregnancy is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me, and I must say that I agree. My appetite has slowed down majorly since the 2nd trimester when I literally had to eat every 2 hours. At my appt about 3 weeks ago, the Dr. did an ultrasound and said the baby was measuring a teensy bit on the small side. He said she was about 5lb 6oz then, and the average was 5-6 lbs. So still average, but on the smaller side of average. We'll see how accurate that still is when she comes. I recently caught the craft bug. Thanks to Pinterest.That website came at the perfect time as I was putting the nursery together. It gave me a lot of great ideas, and I kept telling myself that I could do a lot of the projects. Nothing too glamorous, but I think we definitely saved some money by doing it myself. My parents get here in a little over a week. For now it's just the waiting game - although I don't really feel like every day is an eternity like some women say the last few days are. I am starting to feel more excitement rather than nervousness. But I still feel calm about it. She'll come when she comes, and until then I am enjoying life as it is.
