39 weeks




How far along? 39 Weeks
Total weight gain: 20 lbs
Maternity clothes? I decided to try this dress on for the 4th and it still fit! I just had to be careful that my belly didn't pull it too short.  :) Weird that some Lilly dresses work for me right now, but some don't, even if they are the same material and size.  
Stretch marks? Not yet! Still moisturizing morning and night.  I have a faint linea nigra that goes above and below my belly button.  I've had it for almost the entire pregnancy, but forgot to mention it on here.  After researching it just now I realized that sun makes it worse and it could also mean a folic acid deficiency... wish I knew that before now!! Eek.  
Sleep:  Sleeping better, but getting up 2-3 times each night. 
Best moment this week: Today was great! Ray was off so we slept in and then headed to the Y.  Well, Ray forgot his member card so instead of going in we walked the hilly neighborhood around the Y (Biltmore Park).  Then, we went fishing and grabbed a yummy pizza on the way back to the house.   
Miss anything?  Enjoying a cold beer or a glass cup of wine on our evening summer walks! 
Movement: Still pretty active, but I can tell she's running out of room.  
Food cravings: Not really craving anything in particular, but I've eaten hot wings two nights in a row - trying whatever I can to encourage baby girl to get out! ;) 
Anything make you queasy or sick? No
Gender: Girl :)
Labor signs: Not that I know of! At my 39-week appointment, I was still 1 cm, but very thick and she's still very high up...no progress!  Looks like my doctor won't be delivering as tomorrow is her last day before she's on maternity leave (she's due July 11!). 
Symptoms:  It feels like an electric shock when she gets close to my pelvis sometimes! 
Belly button in or out?  The top part is out and it's visible through my shirts!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy!
Looking forward to: Meeting our baby girl!
