40 weeks



How far along: 40 weeks
General feeling: Pretty good, just antsy. I am so ready to have this baby. I'm also feeling tired from being so antsy- I woke up at 4:30 this morning and was wired.
Boy or girl: Boy.
Weight gain: 27 pounds up from pre-pregnancy weight (two pounds down from last week... how did that happen with Thanksgiving?)
Maternity clothes: Still half and half. I love these maternity jeans and may have to keep them in my closet post-baby as well. :)
Innie or outie belly button: Outie- so much so that I have my doubts if it's ever going to be an innie again...
Rings on or off: On.
Braxton Hicks/labor signs: Just like last week, every day. The cramps and contractions I get don't stay around for too long and they don't come at totally regular intervals. Hopefully that'll all change very soon.
Movement: Trevor and I joke about this baby being like a crocodile- he rolls and rolls like crazy. Last night I fell asleep on the couch while Trevor was on the laptop, and I was woken up by hiccups- they were shaking me so much!
Cravings: To hold a baby in my arms... 
Best moment of this week: Reaching our due date! And having a four day weekend. :)
Looking forward to: Baby coming!

  1. Hey beautiful lady! Just found you through our MM blog hop. Happy 40 weeks though I'm sure you're holding that sweet baby boy right now. I'm currently at my 38th week with my sweet girl. I hope you're doing and feeling well and enjoying your little one.

    1. Thank you so much Andrea! I appreciate your prayers so much- it's definitely been an adjustment over the past week bringing our little guy home, but I already can't imagine our life without him. :)

    1. Thank you! Labour went well- it was fast and natural, just like we were hoping it would be. We're cherishing this itsy bitsy baby stage as much as we can!
