She's as Big as a Thanksgiving Turkey ...

and I just reeeeeally hope she comes BEFORE thanksgiving.

Im 39 weeks and feeling a little crowded. Shes moved into my ribs and Im getting ready to serve her with an eviction notice ...

39 weeks ...

My 39 week appt was uneventful ...
My OB said that Im where I was last week - 1.5cm dilated and 70% effaced, although the head is definitely lower.

But I am on maternity leave now so Ive been doing lots of nesting all week.

... I cleaned up around the house, have completely caught up on laundry, cleaned out my car and even did some business cards for a very cool jewelry designer (strawberry jam designs).

Other than that - I'm just patiently waiting and trying not to drive my husband crazy. Thankfully, he has a coworker who also has a 9 month pregnant wife right now ... they get to commiserate together. I'm so thankful because it helps D realize that while it might SEEM like I'm going crazy somedays ... its actually very normal pregnant behavior. ;)

Plus he might feel a little crazy if he were carrying around something the size of a watermelon day in day out too ...



Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

See what my baby looks like this week;
