39 weeks + 1 day pregnant!

How far along: 39 weeks + 1 day pregnant! SO close :)
Today was my original due date.

Size of baby: watermelon
(19 - 22 inches & 7 - 9 pounds)

Weight gain/loss: DAMN YOU WET WEIGHT!!! still swollen, still have lots of water weighing me down. I'm looking forward to having Bubba on the outside and seeing the scale go down.

Maternity clothes: Well, I did buy some sports bras from Walmart the other day & they're AWESOME! I wanted something for the hospital so I didn't have to buy a nursing bra & these bras were definitely the right choice.

Movement: I'm feeling a lot of kicks up in my ribs now. I'm being told over & over how long this child is so Bub's dropping really hasn't given me much relief but that's ok. I'm doing movement counts frequently if I feel like Bubba is being a little too quiet. Yesterday at the hospital I had no movement for a solid 30 minutes. It wasn't the ideal time for Bubba to nap.

Sleep: I'm sleeping better again which has been nice! I'm still snoring (sorry Cam!) & I'm still waking up to pee but that's just part of it I guess.

Cravings: I really wanted McDonald's yesterday after being at the hospital for four hours with no food! So I gave in & then felt suuuuuper guilty afterwards :(

Symptoms: DAMN YOU WET WEIGHT!!!! Stupid swelling all over my stupid body & in my stupid feet which hurt & my stupid hands that can't make a fist. Oh, & stupid heartburn!
But I loooove my baby belly when it's not in the way :)

Yep the above still sums it up! Just feeling like a complete fat ass! I've never been this large in my life & that's hard to accept some days. But I get a gorgeous baby out of this experience & I wouldn't trade that for anything else in the whole world.

Best moment of the week: just spending time with friends and family has been great! Hearing my brothers talk about becoming uncles has been so sweet & doing last minute prep has been fun! I'm just ready to become a mommy, I want to meet & hold my baby so badly!

I'm SO close to labor & I'm SO excited. I'm not afraid to birth my baby naturally, I'm SO looking forward for the experience to start! Maybe tonight?! :)
