wow...the final stretch. i am SO SO ready. like, you have no idea. i have been having very minor contractions...nothing to get too excited about. we have been applying all the tricks to kick start labor. everything is ready for the little babe (except i need to mop all the floors today...maybe that will help labor start too! fingers crossed) but yes, I AM READY!
How Far Along: 39 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 40lbs (yikes)
Stretch Marks: A couple on my side (wahhhh)
Sleep?: ummm what is that? i am def preparing for even less when she is here. also biggest complaint about this...my hips. seriously they hurt all night...why doesn't anyone else seem to talk about this? am i the only one???
Best Moment this Week: Pete home from the road...we have been spending tons of time together going on dates and laughing. i love him so much.
Movement: she is def down but manages to kick a rib here and there.
Food cravings: breakfast food, sour cream(on burritos and potatoes), and fruit.
Labor Signs: minor contractions and at our last midwife appt i was 1cm dialated. we go back wed (if nothing happens by then) we are hoping for big progress.
Belly Button: Stretched to the max!
What I Miss: Clothes...i spent a majority of the morning drooling over clothes. hopefully when i drop the extra weight pete will take me shopping!!!
What Am I Looking Forward To: the whole labor experience...gosh i can't wait!!! and then to hold her...FINALLY :)
Weekly Wisdom: God is teaching me patience...learning to enjoy the moment and not rush...so hard to do.

come on baby girl! You have a beautiful world waiting for you!
best of luck with your labor and delivery - let it be quick and painless ;)
i cannot believe you are in the last week! can't wait to hear that you are headed to the hospital!!
Oh you poor thing! I was just thinking of you the other day because I knew you were due before me too! I'm not due until 8/26 but when I went in last Wednesday I was at a 3. I've been the to hospital twice since then. Once last Friday because I thought I was having contractions (I was actually dehydrated and having uterine cramps) and then again today. I've dilated to a 4 now so I'm in "active labor" but they couldn't admit me because my cervix is still only thinned 70% and it has to be 100% thinned for things to start progressing. So now I'm just sitting at home contracting away wondering when I should go back! Lol. I hope you have a really fast labor experience and that little Bennet comes soon for you! I can't wait to read the birth story and see all her pics! And your nursery is super cute. I love the Pom Poms and all the onsies you made! Good luck!!!
