As of tomorrow I am officially done with this pregnancy! I hit 39 weeks today and tomorrow is the c-section and the day we will finally meet Ms. Harper!! The last week has been very hard for me and no matter what position I get in, I just can’t get comfortable, and I’m not sleeping much at all, even with Ambien.
Here is the last pregnancy survey:
Due date: July 30 – C-section is on July 24
How far along:Â Â 39 weeks
Gender: It’s a GIRL
Total weight gain/loss:Â about 17, give or take
Exercise: I’m not allowed to exercise
Stretch marks: the ones I got from the boys and then some more from her!
Swelling: a little more in my hands and feet this week, but still not a whole lot
Maternity clothes: yes, and I’m so tired of them…I’ve outgrown a lot of them
Belly button:Â It is definitely an outie
Sleep: sleep – what’s that?!
Food cravings:Â Cream soda
Symptoms: contractions that are getting stronger and more frequent – all day long, heartburn and pain from her using my intestines as a punching bag
Movement: All. The. Time. She likes to push her butt up in my ribcage and then stretch her (apparently long) legs out and kick me in the other side of my ribcage or hip bone. The girl has to take after her big brother, Ian…he moved like crazy just like she does – and has never stopped moving since!
Labor signs: a lot of contractions, but not sure if they are actually doing anything
What I miss: not having to go the bathroom all day long, sleep and being able to sit comfortably
What I’m loving: This pregnancy is about over!!
What I’m looking forward to: meeting her tomorrow
Best moment this week:Â Knowing we will get to finally see her tomorrow!
Milestones: being full term and her arrival.
