39 weeks

It's the homestretch!

how far along: 39 weeks

sleep: starting to decline in quality - i.e. more frequent bathroom breaks and foot cramping

best moment this week: Making it through the week? Because we don't want this baby to come before Justin's test I was sure he'd decide to be an early bird. Watch him not come for a week after the due date just to show us!

movement: yes. And yes I still think it is cute :) I'm hoping he'll start moving down into my pelvis but I can't really tell if he's dropped or not.

labor signs: just the usual - nothing serious or timable but we're getting ready!

what i miss: my energy. Until this week I still had a spring in my step at work (even going up three flights of stairs several times a day) - now I'm a slow poke. It took forever to grocery shop yesterday because waddling is not especially efficient.

what i'm looking forward to: having an outside baby! I can't wait to see what he looks like :)

weekly wisdom: If you want to go for a joyride, take our Jeep. No seriously, please feel free - someone else already helped themself. On Thursday morning when I went out to the parking lot to go to work, I just happened to notice justin's jeep wasn't in it's usual spot (with all the studying he hasn't been leaving the house much... i mean at all). So I called him to ask if he'd moved it and I just hadn't noticed the day before, but he hadn't. He called the apartment complex and the tow company and no one had his car. About 6 hours after filing the police report for a stolen car, the cops found it. It was in a nearby parking lot (Justin walked over to get it) still running, complete with screwdriver. Nothing was missing. Thanks and gig'em.

milestones: i think 39 weeks is a pretty impressive milestone... but each time I do something I wonder if it will be the last time. My last day at work? My last trip to the grocery store? My last weekly pregnancy post?
