40 WEEKS!!


How far along: 40 weeks! I made it. Now....let's have this child already....

Size of baby: 7 1/2 (ish) lbs....may be plus or minus a full pound.

Total weight gained/lost: My final weight gained is 24lbs.. My doctor said at the very beginning of my pregnancy that he predicted me gaining between 20-25lbs....I'd say it sounds like he knows what he's doing! :)

Maternity Clothes: of course....for ONE MORE WEEK!!! YAY.....I'm so sick of these things I could scream.

Movement: Yes....and most of the time, they hurt! He's running out of room and will jab and stick little feet anywhere he can find a place.

Sleep: Is pretty good actually....no major complaints. Besides being 40 1/2 weeks pregnant....considering, I'm sleeping fine!

What I miss: People greeting me by looking at my face not my stomach. I swear people....I still have a face!!!!!!!!

Symptoms: Contractions here and there....that's about it. Heartburn is very little to none.

Aversions: These past couple weeks I've become very sensitive (again....flashback to first tri-mester) to smells. As long as it doesn't smell foul....I'm good to go!

Highlights this week: MEETING OUR BABY BOY!!!!!!!! We can't wait. We had our very last doctor's appointment on Tuesday at 9am. Doctor Smith said that everything looks great and we are ready to go....now if only Lee would get this memo!! :) I've had to remind myself how fortunate I am to make it to the end with absolutely no complications. I've been so blessed and thank the Lord every day for such a smooth process thus far. We go in Sunday at 6pm if he has not made his debut before then. We are still holding out hope that he comes before on his own....but who knows! We'll see! Stay tuned.....
