Week : 39
What I love: Being very near the end. Seriously this can only go on another three weeks at max. Thank the good Lord! I have been loving my free time in the evenings because I know that is going to go away soon. And I love my little naps while the kids are asleep, also going away very soon.
What I hate: Jackson being so sick! I hate it! I am not a fan of the contractions or the aches and pains I'm having, but they are all prepping me for labor. I wish it would just happen already, though I don't really want her to be born until he is much better. I don't know. It's so confusing. I am so ready to be done and so don't want her born with Jackson being so sick.
What I miss: Everything. No, really. Everything. I just want to be normal again. I have been pregnant since April. APRIL! I am ready for some more normalness.
What I’m looking forward to the most: Peace of mind. Seriously. I can't keep going through this mental roller coaster. My baby girl. I want her to come out so I can hold her and cuddle her and see the kids with her.
Sleep: It probably would have been fine except we were up all hours every night with sick kids. Dan slept in their room Saturday night and I literally slept 7 hours uninterrupted. It was wonderful! But I am still exhausted from being 9 months pregnant and up for about a week.
Bra Size:C
Wedding rings on or off: Off.
Weight: 176 Weight Gain: 33 lbs. Obviously water weight at this point.
Worries: Obviously I am worried. I am worried about how much it's going to hurt. How long it's going to take. Her position. She keeps going posterior on me and I feel pain in my lower back, so I'm already projecting that it's going to take a long time and hurt a lot. I am so in need of the Lord to touch my mind. To find peace and trust that I'll be able to do this. I don't really know why I am so completely freaked out by birth this time. I certainly wasn't with Jack or Emma. But here I am.
Developments: I've had contractions on and off all week, which is no surprise. Sunday night, they were strong enough to keep waking me up. I finally gave up at 2 and went and took a shower. I found myself standing there in the middle of the night, thinking, "no, I don't want to do this. Just stop so I can go back to sleep!" I finally fell asleep after 3 sometime. I had a couple of good ones last night too, but I knew that I wasn't close so I took tylenol and went to bed. No other signs of labor, other then being 40 weeks pregnant.
Things of Interest:
Joy is home and so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Which is really nice. One less thing to fret about.
Mood: I was fine until the kids were sick for days and days and then the panic attacks have not helped. I am tired and frazzled and worn down mentally. I need a touch from the Lord. I need peace and I need to just trust my body, the process and God. HELP LORD!
Movement: She has definitely slowed down on the movements. I am a bit concerned, but I think it's pretty normal that she's completely out of space in there and so is not able to do the acrobatics she was before.
The belly (and the button!): Big. Stretched out looking. I did have a very comforting thought. I won't ever be this large again. I am about as pregnant as I'll ever be or get. I won't grow much if any in the next week or so, so this is it! Hurrah!
Measurements: Chest: Waist: Midsection: Hips: Thighs:
Exercise: I worked out once and walked three times. So a total of 4. I was too tired to do much more and my lower back was hurting, so I didn't want to risk doing anything to put it out.
Eating: Total crap. But it doesn't bother me.
The weekly pics:
Hair: Your baby's hair and nails continue to get longer with every passing day.
Skull: The skull bones are separated so that they can compress enough to fit through the birth canal during labor. Your baby will have soft spots on her head for the first year or more after birth
