39 weeks down, 1 to go!

I will officially be 39 weeks tomorrow, and boy have I ever slowed down! Every little household task makes me feel like I've run a marathon and leaves me short of breath. I'm really very ready to have this baby! Two nights ago I was having contractions during the night, and I noticed they were coming regularly so I started keeping track of them. They were coming every 6-8 minutes and I was already starting to wonder if it was maybe time to phone the hospital and wake my husband, but they stopped just after 4 am. I was FINALLY able to get some sleep, but I felt a general "ick" feeling all day yesterday because of the lack of sleep and the discomfort from those contractions. Baby will be here soon! (But not soon enough if you ask me).

Wednesday is my husband's birthday, so if baby decided to come then, daddy will get to share his birthday! He is actually hoping this happens, he would love to share his birthday with one of his children. Wednesday is also my 39 week prenatal check-up, and I am seriously considering getting my doctor to do a sweep, and try to move things along a little faster. I am so uncomfortable all the time, from sharp stabbing pains in my groin everytime I lift my legs, to lower abdominal pain because those muscles are tiring from carrying around the extra weight, to sore feet and back, to feeling constant pressure because baby is soooooo low already and is "locked and loaded" so to speak.

Anytime you feel like joining us Little One, we're ready and we're all eager to meet you! Hopefully you choose to come soon, because your momma doesn't know how much more of "being pregnant" she can take. :)

39 weeks!
