39 Weeks; I'm running out of clothes!

How far along? 39 Weeks!

Total weight gain: up 34 lbs. (according to last Friday’s checkup).

Maternity clothes? totally.

Stretch marks? yup. I’m not worried about them anymore though. They just mean that my little peanut is growing & that’s a GREAT thing!!

Sleep: I get up a few times every night to pee & it’s becoming a little harder to fall back to sleep. But for the most part, I’m sleeping fairly well!

Best moment this week: all of the moments spent chatting with the Hubs about our little lovebug :)

Miss Anything? being comfortable.

Movement: LOTS! Which kind of shocks me considering how cramped she has to be in there now. I feel sorry for her; she has got be uncomfortable since she’s losing space to move around in daily.

Food cravings: anything with strawberries or strawberry flavor. Someone brought a Paula Dean Strawberry Cake into work today & I almost made myself sick off of it & I had 4 pieces. Yep, 4 pieces folks. Haha & I loved every single bite!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: cooking meat. I can eat it, just don’t want to handle it or see/smell it cooking.

Gender: girl

Labor Signs: boooo. none. She is verrrrry content with where she is right now so I’m not expecting an early delivery even though I was hoping for one haha. I will say that tomorrow (February 7th) is a full moon & I’ve heard that lots & lots of babies are born on those days! Eeee! That could mean that this is my last post before she is here. Whoa, that would be so awesome!!!

Symptoms: week 37/38 were when I officially became crazyyyy. I can’t stress enough the term uncomfortable. I’m more uncomfortable than I am in pain so I am thankful for that. I seriously HATE that I’m complaining about some of these (seemingly) petty things but it’s just so different than how I’ve ever felt in my life. No one can prepare you for what to expect with pregnancy, all of the advice & stories still don’t help you really understand what to expect. I have absolutely loved this experience though. I’ve had such a great pregnancy; I’ve been pretty healthy, Derek has been soooo great (for real. I have an AMAZING Husband ya’ll), we’ve had so many people shower us with love throughout this whole journey, and God has just been so so good!

Belly Button in or out? it’s still an awkward in/outie

Wedding rings on or off? off

Happy or Moody most of the time: it’s about even haha

Looking forward to: Harper's arrival!!! I can't believe it’s almost time!
