Week 39

Not the best pictures of me but I wanted to make sure I got my 39 week belly pictures before heading to the hospital.  These photos are right before we left for the hospital in hopes of having our baby boy (as a side note, I wanted to wear a different shirt for each week, and luckily a friend gave me this shirt the day before-I only have one repeating shirt, I think).

June 16-18, 2014

How far along: 39 weeks  

Total weight gain: I gained two pounds since last week, so a total of 44 pounds!

Maternity clothes: Yes maternity clothes all the time, especially skirts.

Stretch marks: I am so lucky in this area, no stretch marks.  Since 40 weeks is so close and our baby boy can come any day I am rubbing coconut oil and belly butter nightly.

Sleep: Well I am usually up for an hour or so each night, I guess in preparation for the sleepless nights when the baby is here.

Best moments this week: The birth of our baby boy!  After finishing last minute errands (including a manicure and pedicure) our baby boy decided to come before for his due date.  I will have a post about his birth when I find time.

Miss anything: Since I am filling out this questionnaire after birth I am missing having my pregnant belly, but having our baby with us is so wonderful.

Food cravings: No food cravings, actually it is odd having a normal appetite and not eating all the time.

Pregnancy symptoms: Do labor contractions count?

Gender: Baby boy.

Labor signs: Yes! At 3:15 am on June 18 is when we called the doctor office with contractions.

Belly button in or out: Belly button out and stretched out smoothly.

Wedding rings on or off: Wedding rings off, but I put them back on when we came home from the hospital (but fingers still swollen).

Happy or moody: Beyond happy!

Looking forward to: Motherhood and spending the summer with our baby boy!
