1 day left?! 39 wks 6 days

Ms. Abigail, this is to serve as your official eviction notice.  Either remove yourself peacefully by 9/12/13 or you will be force-ably removed on 9/13/13.  I have given you a nice and cozy home for nearly 40 weeks now, and I'm ready to meet you!  I'm ready to be able to lay down and not feel like my tummy is going to fall off of my front, or walk without waddling.  Don't get me wrong, this whole things has been worth it to get you out of it, but I've put in my dues now....I'm ready! :)

Are we there yet? Your baby's waiting to greet the world!  You’re probably feeling like you want to get this baby the heck out of you. We’re not sure, but the impatience and discomfort many moms feel around 39 weeks (and beyond!) might be nature’s way of getting you mentally prepared for delivery. Remember how freaked out you used to be about it? Now, at week 39 you probably don’t care what you have to do, you just don’t want to be pregnant anymore! (babycenter.com)

She continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, about the size of a mini-watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. (thebump.com)

39 Weeks 4 Days along.

38 Week sonogram she had her wrist to her mouth most of the time. :)

How Far Along: 39 Weeks 2 Days

Total Weight Gain: I'm up 12 lbs over my initial weight in total.  I'll take it!  Especially since the last guesstimate (at 38 weeks) was 8 lbs 10 oz for her.

Best Moments This Week:  Definitely feeling of being ready.  I've accepted that in a matter of days I'll be a Mom and Matt'll be a Dad.  Still weird, but I'm excited to start the next chapter in our lives together as a family.

Gender: Still Abigail. :)

Movement: Same as before: All the time.  No lessening of movement because of running out of space.  Don't know if that's a good thing or bad...I know I had room, but good lord child! ;)

Food Craving: Sweet tooth is back...hoping it won't affect my weight too badly! ;)

Sleep: Sleep?  What's that?  Neither Matt nor I are getting much these days.  I've come to accept it, Matt however isn't too thrilled with me.  It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such an ordeal to do anything these days.

What I am Looking Forward To: This afternoon we get to go visit with the photographer to look at all of the maternity shots we took!  So that is definitely exciting. :)

Symptoms: Back pain is now pretty consistent.  I'm pretty convinced that back labor is inevitable when/if the time comes.
