This could be my last pregnancy post. I'm officially in my last week of pregnancy before hitting my estimated due date.
I know babies come when they're ready, and I want our little miss fully cooked, but I'm really hoping I don't go past my due date.
I have been very emotional over still being pregnant since my last OB appointment on Thursday. I'm back in Colorado and everything is ready for our daughter. Now I'm just waiting for her to come out, and the wait is driving me crazy!
Pregnancy hasn't sucked or been really hard, but I can't wait to meet our daughter! I want to read to her, I want to rock her in our glider, I want to sing to her, I want her to meet her father, I want to smell her new baby smell... I have been waiting so long to bring a baby home and now that it's right around the corner it feels like it's never going to happen (irrational, I know).
I almost forgot! I took my quilting supplies to Utah with us because my machine is broken and I knew Grandma's was working (plus, she'd be able to help me since she has been quilting/sewing for quite a while). I am happy to announce that due to her guidance and wonderful sewing machine, I finally finished my baby blanket! It's a little crooked and my binding is messy, but I love how it turned out.

Both
How far along: 39 weeks + 1 day, and praying there aren't more than six days left!
Maternity clothes: Some.
Sleep: When I do sleep I sleep great, but I've been really anxious which has been making it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Movement: She still moves a lot, but she doesn't have a lot of room to work with.
Cravings: Breakfast burritos and pumpkin pie (I ate both today).
Symptoms: Baby has dropped, less heartburn, and anxiety/end of pregnancy blues.
Belly button in or out: Still half n' half. Top part pokes out, bottom part is shallow.
Wedding ring on or off: On.
Signs of labor: Nothing promising. Don't ask me about it. Booooo. Hissss. :(
Worst moment of the week: Not going into labor.
Best moment of the week: Being married to my husband.
What I'm looking forward to: Having this baby!
Victories of the week: After peeing my pants a million times while sick (oh yeah, I got sick while in Utah), I haven't wet my pants once since being home. Heck yeah! Still putting on my own socks and shoes and tying them. Walking/hiking like a champ.
Size of baby: It's likely she's around 20 inches long and weighs a bit over 7 lbs (about the size of a mini watermelon)!
Oh my gosh, please come out before you get any bigger!
Milestones: Trolling her parents and being stubborn.
And for my 39 week belly photo:
Close enough.
There you have it folks. Hopefully next week we'll have a baby on the outside. Send me all the labor vibes you can!
In preparation for the big day :)
