baby #2 | 39 weeks

How far along? 39 weeks

Baby's heart rate: today it was 140s

Maternity clothes? oh yes and even that is limited. Definitely limited on my options at this point. One.more.week!

The bump: large and in charge!

Stretch marks? No new ones, but my old ones are getting darker and more prominent. 

Best moment this week: i had my final prenatal appointment today and I am 2.5 cm and 75% effaced. So thats a great start! I'm still really wanting to go into labor so we'll see what happens.

Movement: big, sharp movements pretty frequently with his busiest time being around 8pm. 

Food cravings: just ice haha

food aversions: nope!

Miss Anything? not worrying about what I eat, and sleeping on my tummy!

Symptoms: occasional contractions, mores after a shift of work or if I'm on my feet a lot. 

Belly Button in or out? out!

Wedding rings on or off? On but snug. 

Mood?  Excited, anxious, eager, all of the above?! 

I am so ready to meet this boy! But I know i'll immediately miss being pregnant. I'm not "miserable" at all so It's not quite like I want pregnancy to end, I'm just eager to meet him. Selfishly, I want to go into labor this time.. I think just to have "the story". I know if we do end up being induced, the day will go just as the Lord has planned so I'm excited to see either way. I really cannot believe we're 39 weeks and he could come any day now! All pregnancy its about reaching the big weeks- 24, 32, 34, 37 and now we're full term and just waiting for him! I have been so blessed for a great, healthy pregnancy and for that I am so thankful!
