39 Weeks


How far along? 39 weeks!  Tomorrow is baby's birthday!!!!
Maternity clothes?  I truly enjoyed picking out my FINAL maternity outfit for work today.  Adios, maternity wear!  (Not to say I'll be fitting in my own clothes again tomorrow afternoon)
Movement:  All the time.  I love it!  It is one less thing for me to worry about.  
Sleep: actually (finally) have been getting up at least once a night to go to the bathroom.  It's about 50/50 if I fall back to sleep right away.  I hope to go to bed early tonight because we have to be to the hospital at 4:00AM!  Praying I get some sleep tonight because I imagine there won't be much of it tomorrow!
Food cravings:  No.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.   

Labor signs: I am having more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions.  That's about it!
Exercise: Nope.  Stairs are my exercise these days.   
Miss anything? I really don't mind being pregnant, but I am excited that I will no longer be preggo after tomorrow!  
Looking forward to:  Finally meeting baby brother!  
Best moment this week:  I'm sure tomorrow will be the best moment this week!  After excessive agonizing over VBAC versus repeat c/s, I finally decided that I would do another c-section.  I really wanted to try a VBAC, but ultimately the risks and statistics were too scary for me.  I have heard/seen too many VBAC horror stories.  I just want him to be born as safely as possible!  I am so excited to meet this little guy and I'm also so eager for Ben to meet him too!  I am sure he will love his little brother to death, but I think it will be hard for him to share the spotlight!  He gets so much attention right now. :)  He is sleeping at Nana's tonight.  We told him that the doctor is going to get the baby out tomorrow.  I'm not sure he fully understands this. :)
