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;
